Care of the unit
Warning!
If possible, the systems and accessories should be cleaned immediately
after use. Contaminations should not be allowed to dry on the objects, as
this would make cleaning and disinfecting more difficult.
If possible, machines should be used for disinfecting and cleaning. For
details, please also see the relevant notes on sterilization equipment.
Cleaning mechanical surfaces
All mechanical surfaces of the equipment can be cleaned by wiping them
with a damp cloth. Do not use any aggressive or abrasive detergents.
Wipe off any residue with a mixture of 50% ethyl alcohol and 50% distilled
water plus a dash of household dish-washing liquid.
Sterilization
The asepsis sets available from Carl Zeiss contain rubber caps, sleeves
and handgrips which can be sterilized in autoclaves. We recommend the
following program for sterilization:
Sterile single-use drapes are available to cover the system.
Note:
When draping the system, make sure there is enough slack in the drapes
to allow for movement of the microscope carrier and surgical microscope.
It is especially important that the drapes are completely loose around the
handgrips. The surgeon must be able to operate the controls through the
drape.
Sterilization temperature: 134° C
Sterilization time: 10 minutes
