PRE-DISINFECTION
Immediately after use, carefully rinse the device with Reverse Osmosis (RO) or distilled water in order to remove all visible soil.
Remove any visible soil with a non-shedding soft cloth saturated with detergent (per hospital protocol).
Discard the soft cloth after use.
If the cleaning action cannot be done immediately, put the disconnected devices in a new soft cloth heavily saturated with a
detergent (per hospital protocol).
PREPARATION OF MANUAL CLEANING MATERIALS
The manual cleaning process has been validated according to AAMI TIR Number 12 and ISO 17664 guidelines.
Materials:
Do not utilize detergents with phenol, aldehyde and non alkaline type (pH-value should be less than 9) active principles:
quaternary ammonium and guanidine derivatives (process validated with STERIS Prolystica 2X).
Dilution and temperature parameters must follow the detergent manufacturer’s specification.
Utilize RO or distilled water (hardness lower than 120 mg/L of CaCO
3
).
Utilize non-abrasive brushes and non-abrasive, non-shedding soft cloth.
CAUTION

MANUAL CLEANING
Rinse the handpieces, attachements, sterilizable battery and ATK housing with RO or distilled water until all visible body fluids
and tissues have been removed.
Carefully clean each part of the device with a brush and/or a soft cloth with an appropriate detergent for a minimum of 2 minutes.
While cleaning, pay particular attention to critical sites: exposed parts, narrow cavities, small openings and moving parts.
Let the detergent flow into the cavities and areas that are difficult to reach.
Rinse carefully with RO or distilled water in order to remove all detergent.
Dry the device utilizing a dry non-shedding cloth. Medical quality filtered air may be utilized if available.
INSPECTION
Inspect all devices carefully to ensure all visible soil and detergent is removed.
If necessary, repeat the steps for manual cleaning.
NOTE
: If the devices are not disinfected immediately after rinsing, carefully dry the devices with a soft cloth to avoid any
microbial contamination due to humidity.
DISINFECTION
Place and cover the device in a soft cloth heavily saturated with the recommended pH-value detergent/disinfectant for 30
minutes.
After the 30 minute contact time, wipe the device down with the saturated cloth, paying particular attention to joints, mated
areas, crevices, and small openings.
Rinse all parts of the device with RO or distilled water.
Carefully dry the device with a non-shedding soft cloth or air.
