The BioVision CMAR-01 is sterilizable by low temperature methods.
The only recommended sterilization method is Ethylene Oxide (EtO). EtO
is done at low temperatures and has excellent Sterility Assurance Levels
(SAL).
Using a high temperature sterilization method such as autoclave or steam;
will cause irreparable damage and is not covered by the warranty.
The camera head, cables, and connectors are not immersible. Sterilizing
and disinfecting soaks are very corrosive and may cause damage to the
camera system. This damage is not covered by the warranty.
To ensure your safety and the safety of others around you, always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using a sterilizer.
To ensure the optical performance of your
camera system, clean the optical areas
indicated by arrows in the illustration to the
right.
The recommended method is a cotton
swab or gauze damp with alcohol. Lightly
rub these areas until any foreign material
is cleared away.
Note that you should not clean inside the
outer ring of the SurgView
TM
connector.
This area has gold-pins and should never
need cleaning.
Hand clean the rest of the camera with a
damp cloth and a mild detergent if
necessary. Do not use any solvents.
