Cleaning and sterilisation regulations
IMPORTANT!
Make sure to adhere to guideline TN999042 (as well as to all
of the other relevant requirements that have been made
available) when preparing the instruments for re-use!
12.1 Cleaning the Control Device
The device and the control panels should be cleaned at the
end of each day of operation. Remove all BSS residue using
a soft fiber-free cloth that has been dampened with medicinal
benzene. Make sure to keep the control panels and the
device dry at all times. They are not to be spayed or rinsed.
12.2 Cleaning the Instruments
Immediately after the operation, immerse the diathermy tips,
cutting heads and handpieces in BSS or distilled water and
rinse thoroughly. The cleaning instructions supplied with the
instruments should be strictly observed!
Only use distilled or de-ionised water, neutral cleaning agents
and a soft lint-free cloth or soft sponge. Ensure that all
instruments are free from blood, tissue and impurities caused
by saline deposits or other substances. Rinse carefully and
thoroughly with distilled water, and clean carefully with
compressed air. Do not use oxygen or any other gases!
12.3 Sterilisation
IMPORTANT!
Clean diathermy and capsulotomy tips immediately after
removal from the eye and keep moist with BSS or distilled
water until they can undergo final cleaning.
Steam sterilisation is the recommended method for tips,
handpieces, instruments and re-usable cassettes. ETO
sterilisation is not recommended, and gamma sterilisation is
unacceptable because of the instability of the materials.
IMPORTANT!
The user is responsible for using the correct sterilisation
method, including taking any precautions to ensure
bacteriological safety.
After cleaning (as described in Section 12.1), tips,
handpieces and instruments must be sterilised in the
autoclave with a supporting air removal device. The
recommended values are: temperature 134°C…138°C, min.
cycle time 3 minutes.
When the instruments are removed from the sterilisation
system, they must be cooled to room temperature before
commencing an operation.
The instruments should be dismantled into their individual
parts before being sterilised.
IMPORTANT!
The instruments must be sterilised before every use!
