Visually inspect each instrument for remaining soil and
moisture. If soil remains, repeat the cleaning process. If
instruments are wet, use filtered compressed air or a lint
free wipe to dry.
Warning:
Ultrasonic cleaning should not be used on the
Sizers since it may cause crazing of the polymer material
and markings.
The user is responsible for the qualification of any
deviation from the recommended cleaning method.
9.2 Sterilization Instructions
The Handle should be removed from the Sizer or Gage
Sphere prior to cleaning and sterilization.
The four Sizers, the single Gage Sphere, and Handles
should be placed in the instrument tray for steam steril-
ization. The following sterilization cycle is recommended:
Temperature: 132°C (270°F)
Dwell time: 4 minutes
Cycle: Pre-vacuum
Dry time: 20 minutes minimum
The user is responsible for qualification of any deviations
from the recommended sterilization method.
BioStable acknowledges that the Sterilization cycle
described below is routinely used by European hospitals
and has been validated for many similar heart valve Sizer
systems and surgical instruments.
Temperature: 134°C (274°F)
Dwell time: 3 minutes
Cycle: Pre-vacuum
Dry time: 20 minutes
The components of the HAART 301 Instrument Set do
not pose any significant challenge to sterilization using
this widely validated process. The instrument materials
can withstand temperatures up to 137°C.
9.3 Re-use
BioStable has performed a minimum of 50 sterilization
and use cycles on the HAART 301 Instrument Set without
any signs of wear being noted.
Caution:
The Sizers, Gage Sphere, and Handle are
intended for multiple uses as long as they are inspected
before each use for signs of damage. The Sizers and
Gage Sphere should be visually inspected for crazing
of polymer materials, cracks and signs of structural
weakness or unreadable markings before each use. The
Handle should be inspected for visible cracks or signs of
structural weakness before each use and after bending.
Replace any instrument that exhibits these faults, as it
may not function properly and could cause patient injury.
