7 Sterilizing the Biopsy Bracket
!
●
Disinfect the biopsy bracket after each use.
●
Use the liquid sterilant that meets with local laws and regulations.
●
If you use the recommended sterilant, ensure the requirements for the sterilant level
and probe soaking period are met. Otherwise, the biopsy bracket could be damaged
and your warranty might be void. If you have further use or needs for the probe,
ensure the level of the make-up sterilant and the biopsy bracket soaking period are
suitable for the intended clinical application.
●
Store the biopsy bracket in a sterile environment and review its expiration date before
use.
●
Do not sterilize the biopsy bracket with any ethylene oxide.
●
Do not allow any sterilant to be air-dried on the biopsy bracket.
Perform the following steps:
1. Clean the biopsy bracket.
For details, refer to Section 14.2.6 Cleaning the Biopsy Bracket.
2. Sterilize the biopsy bracket as shown in Table 14-5 until the recommended soaking
period expires.
3. Rinse the bracket with the running sterile water to remove the residual sterilant
completely.
4. Dry the bracket with a lint-free soft dry cloth.
