After Sterilization:
The Arthrex DrillSaw Mini 300 System should be cooled to room temperature
and dry prior to use in surgery. It is recommended that dry times always be
used for ensure that all electrical contacts are dry as to prevent malfunctions.
In the event a flash (IUSS) cycle is used to achieve sterility, the handpiece may
not function until it has cooled to room temperature. Note that using forced
cooling of the device may damage internal parts which are sealed. Forced
cooling with wet towels may cause condensation inside the device and can
lead to corrosion which can lead to intermittent running and potentially no
function at all.
W A R N I N G !
After autoclaving, the accessory devices are VERY HOT. Handle with care to avoid burns.
6.1 Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Agents
It is outside the scope of this document to describe in detail the precautions that should be
taken for Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) Agents.
The agents for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are believed to be resistant to
normal disinfection and sterilization processes. Therefore, the normal processing methods of
decontamination and sterilization as described above may not be appropriate where CJD
transmission is a risk.
In general, the tissues that come into contact with orthopedic surgical instruments are those
of low TSE infectivity. However, take particular precautions when handling instruments that
have been used on known, suspected, or at-risk patients. Refer to AAMI ST79 for further
information.
