The nitinol braid is rinsed in lukewarm (not hot !!!) flowing drinking water
immediately after pulling out of the nose until all potentially adhering mucus
is mostly removed.
The nitinol braid is pushed over the cleaning tube [4] and potentially
adhering contaminations are carefully removed in lukewarm flowing drinking
water with the fingers. For bringing the nitinol braid onto the cleaning tube
its open end is cautiously pushed - obliquely fitted - over one end of the
tube (do not pull!!). Subsequently push the whole nitinol braid over the tube
as shown in 5 . Removal of contaminations from the nitinol braid with the
fingers has to be done only in longitudinal direction, never in cross direction
(i.e. not around the cleaning tube) as otherwise the sensitive nitinol braid
may be damaged.
Once the nitinol braid is completely cleaned it is cautiously pulled off the
cleaning tube.
The cleaning tube is rinsed, too, in lukewarm flowing drinking water and
let dry.
Should the pusher be contaminated it is also cleaned by rinsing in
lukewarm flowing drinking water, spraying with the cleaning spray which
has to act for one minute and let dry.
4.5 Storage of the AlaxoLito Nasal Stent
1. The dried nitinol braid shall not be stored in the introduction tube to prevent
it from unnecessary pressure load.
2. The AlaxoLito shall not be stored in direct sunlight and at temperatures
below 4°C or above 50°C.
