CLEANING

16-2000-120 has been designed  to  ensure easier-than-ever operation  and maintaining the  unit  clean, in
combination with its versatile applications in electrosurgical procedures.

As the unit casing is made of metal without any ventilation holes, it can be cleaned using disinfectants, and
the touch panel can be cleaned using alcohol-based disinfectants.

Clean the unit without allowing any fluid to enter inside the device.

STERILISATION OF ACCESSORIES

Sterilization should be adapted to the supplier’s recommendations for a specific accessory. The
supplied accessories, unless otherwise noted, are not sterile and require sterilisation before
they can be used. 

Unless otherwise marked, the offered electrosurgical accessories may be steam sterilized at up to 134°C and
a pressure of 2 Bar. When using different accessories, please observe the manufacturer’s recommendations.

12.1. RECOMMENDED CLEANING AND STERILIZATION AGENTS FOR REUSABLE                                  
ELECTROSURGICAL ACCESSORIES                                                                                                               

Consult the manufacturer’s sterilisation instructions before cleaning and sterilisation of non-
disposable accessories. 

12.1.1. MANUAL WASHING                                                                                                                                

Non-disposable elements, heavily soiled with tissue remains, should be pre-cleaned with a plastic cleaning
plate   or  plastic  brush.  Then   use   one   of   the   following  recommended   agents  for  accessory  cleaning   and
sterilisation:
