Sensor holders
The rods and rings of the XIOS XG single-use sensor holder system and
all parts of the reusable sensor holder system can be sterilized.
The rods and rings or sensor holder and rings must be sterilized before
initial use and once a treatment has ended. All parts must be cleaned
before each sterilization.
1. Separate the rods and rings or the sensor holder and rings.
2. Remove any residues with hot soapy water or mild dishwashing
liquid.
3. Put the components, metal parts separated from plastic parts, into
individual sterilization pouches.
4. Put the sterilization pouches into the middle tray of the steam
sterilizer, ensuring sufficient distance to the walls of the steam
sterilizer and the heating element.
5. Sterilize in a steam sterilizer at 134°C (273.2°F) for at least 3 min.
holding time and 2.1 bar (30.5 psi) overpressure.
NOTICE
The plastic parts of the sensor holder must not be exposed to high
sterilization temperatures.
The plastics may melt, warp or become brittle as a result of improper
sterilization.
➢ Sterilize metallic and plastic parts in separate sterilization pouches.
➢ Ensure that the temperature in the steam sterilizer does not exceed
134°C (273°F) during the sterilization process. Operate the steam
sterilizer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
➢ Do not use phenol-based glutaraldehyde, ultrasonic cleaners,
chemiclaves or hot-air sterilizers for sterilization. Do not use cold
sterilization.
IMPORTANT
Plastic parts have a limited lifetime. This is reduced with each
sterilization cycle. As a result replace the plastic parts of the sensor
holder on a regular basis.
