6.2.2 Disinfection
Parts that are intended to be used/touched by the user are colored in black in the "Visual Guide for
Cleaning and Disinfection", such as handles, push bars, knobs, oculars and framing of monitors
and displays. These black parts in the "Visual Guide for Cleaning and Disinfection" should always
be cleaned and disinfected before and after each surgical intervention since they are intended to
be touched although they might be covered by a sterile drape.
Disinfect all surfaces with tissue or blood before or after each microsurgical intervention as de-
scribed in the table.
1. Make sure that no disinfectant can ingress into the housing of the surgical microscope sys-
tem.
2. Avoid spraying the disinfectant directly onto surfaces.

4. Let disinfected surfaces dry out in air.
5. Be aware of the exposure time with the disinfectant.
