The gel pads and fixation ring on the handpiece can also be cleaned under tap water.
When cleaning, make sure that no liquid enters the cables of the connectors and the
housing of the control unit or applicator.
Machine
disinfection:
enShock and all its accessories are not intended for disinfection by machine.
Manual
disinfection:
Always clean before each disinfection!
Housing and foot switch:
Disinfection of the enShock housing is not required insofar as it is outside the patient
environment. Nevertheless, we recommend disinfecting the housing at least once a
week by means of wipe disinfection using a commercially available non-alcoholic
plastic and metal disinfectant that is suitable for medical devices (e.g., Mikrozid
sensitive liquid, alcohol-free, by Schülke).
The foot switch is protected against vertically falling dripping water.
Applicator and cable:
Disinfect the applicator and cable after each time they come into contact with the
patient using a commercially available non-alcoholic plastic and metal disinfectant that
is suitable for medical devices (e.g., Mikrozid sensitive liquid, alcohol-free, by
Schülke). When using disinfection wipes, you should wipe 3 times. Do not use
disinfectant spray as the housing is not protected against the ingress of liquids.
Gel pads:
Disinfect the used gel pads after each time they come into contact with the patient
using a commercially available non-alcoholic plastic and metal disinfectant that is
suitable for medical devices, either in spray form or wetted onto disinfectant wipes
(e.g., Mikrozid sensitive liquid, alcohol-free, by Schülke). When using disinfection
wipes, you should wipe 3 times. If you use disinfectants in spray form, ensure the
entire surface is uniformly wetted.
Please rinse the gel pads under tap water after disinfection to completely remove all
residues of the disinfectant.
Failing to disinfect a contact part can lead to cross infection!
Drying
All accessories can be dried in room conditions without special equipment.
Maintenance,
control and
testing
Please check the accessories for visible mechanical damage after cleaning and
disinfection measures; replace accessories in case of visible mechanical damage or
wear. No functional test or calibration needs to be performed after preparation.
Packaging
The enShock device and accessories do not need to be packaged after cleaning and
disinfection, but they should be protected from dust, moisture and direct sunlight.
