5 Cleaning and Sterilization Requirements
Automated Cleaning
1.
Inspect the
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement System ’s Ultrasound handpiece to ensure that it is free
of any gross soiling or debris. If gross soiling or debris is evident, manual pre-cleaning with a neutral
pH detergent with a disposable cloth or paper wipe while wearing appropriate personal protective
equipment may be necessary. It is recommended that the
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement System ’s
Ultrasound handpiece be reprocessed as soon as is reasonably practical following use.
2.
Connect the lumens of the
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement System ’s Ultrasound handpiece to the
lumen connectors or adaptors of the washer to allow detergent and rinse water to circulate freely through
the lumens of the handpiece.
3.
Ensure that the
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement System ’s Ultrasound handpiece is placed within the
washer such that all surfaces of the
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement System ’s Ultrasound handpiece
components are accessible to the detergent and rinse water during cleaning and the
Stellaris® PC
Vision
Enhancement System ’s Ultrasound handpiece does not move about excessively during cleaning.
4.
Process the
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement System ’s Ultrasound handpiece according to the
conditions listed below. Cleaning times and conditions may be adjusted based on the degree of soiling
present on the
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement System ’s Ultrasound handpiece. The conditions
indicated below were validated using a neutral pH detergent (Getinge Neutrawash) and a severe organic
soil challenge (BS 2745: Part 3: 1993). The use of a neutral pH detergent solution is recommended to
avoid damage to the
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement System ’s Ultrasound handpiece components.

1. Neutral pH detergent. Adjust concentration according to the detergent manufacturer’s
directions regarding water quality and the extent of instrument soiling.
2. Minimum exposure conditions for thermal disinfection using purified water.
3. As cleaning frequently involves mixed instrument loads, the efficacy of drying will vary
based on the equipment employed and the nature and volume of the load being processed.
Therefore, the drying parameters selected must be determined by observation.
5.
Following processing carefully inspect the
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement System ’s Ultrasound
handpiece for cleanliness, any evidence of damage, and proper operation. If residual soiling is apparent,
reprocess the
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement System ’s Ultrasound handpiece as indicated above.
