Validated reprocessing procedure

General safety notes
Note
Adhere to national statutory regulations, national and international stan-
dards and directives, and local, clinical hygiene instructions for reprocess-
ing.
Note
For patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), suspected CJD, or possi-
ble variants of CJD, observe the relevant national regulations concerning
the reprocessing of products.
Note
Mechanical reprocessing should be favored over manual cleaning as it
gives better and more reliable results.
Note
It should be noted that successful reprocessing of this medical device can
only be guaranteed following prior validation of the reprocessing method.
The operator/reprocessing technician is responsible for this.
The recommended chemistry was used for validation.
Note
If there is no final sterilization, then a virucidal disinfectant must be used.
Note
For up-to-date information about reprocessing and material compatibility,
see also the Aesculap Extranet at https://extranet.bbraun.com
The validated steam sterilization procedure was carried out in the Aesculap
sterile container system.
7.2
General information
Dried or affixed surgical residues can make cleaning more difficult or inef-
fective and lead to corrosion. Therefore the time interval between appli-
cation and processing should not exceed 6 h; also, neither fixating pre-
cleaning temperatures >45 °C nor fixating disinfecting agents (active
ingredient: aldehydes/alcohols) should be used.
Excessive neutralizing agents or basic cleaners may result in a chemical
attack and/or fading and the laser marking becoming unreadable either
visually or by machine.
Residues containing chlorine or chlorides, e.g., in surgical residues, medi-
cines, saline solutions, and in the service water used for cleaning, disin-
fection, and sterilization, will cause corrosion damage (pitting, stress cor-
rosion) and result damage to metallic products. These must be removed by
rinsing thoroughly with demineralized water and then drying.
Perform additional drying, if necessary.
WARNING
Risk of injury and/or malfunction!
►
Always carry out a function check prior to using
the product.
WARNING
Risk of injury and material damage due to inadver-
tent activation of the applied part!
►
Secure applied parts that are not actually used
against inadvertent activation (“Off” position).
