Ultrasonic cleaning is strictly prohibited.
2. Disinfection
Soaking in solutions or Thermo chemically in a washer Sterilizer up to 65°C maximum may perform disinfection.
Manufacturers instruction regarding duration and concentration of solutions should be strictly adhered. After Disin-
fection, rinse throughly in sterile water and dry with a lint free clean cloth.
3. Cold Soak Solution
To achieve a high-level disinfection, Cidex®OPA or 2.4% Glutaraldehyde solution may be used according to manu-
facturer’s instructions. Dry with lint free, clean cloth or filtered pressurized air. Reassemble all parts, load handle with
batteries and test the system for proper function.
If not functional, review battery / lamp testing instructions below.
Do not immerse Blades in Bleach, Betadine or Potassium Hydroxide solutions.
Doing so will several damage instruments also avoid metal to metal contact after soaking, the blades should
be rinsed under sterile water to remove chemical residues and dry with lint free clean cloth or filtered pres-
surized air.
4. Sterilization
Before performing any of the procedures described below, the blade should be cleaned as described in the cleaning
Procedure.
5. Gas Sterilization
Gas sterilization by Ethylene oxide up to a maximum temperature of 65°C and 8 p.s.i, may be performed, which is
preferred especially if sterilization is to be performed regularly.
6. Steam Sterilization
Steam Sterilization can also be performed. Insert device in appropriate autoclave pouch.
