Inspection/Maintenance
Proper care and handling is essential for satisfactory
performance of any surgical device. The previous cautions
should be taken to ensure long and trouble-free service from all
your surgical devices. Inspect devices before each use for
broken, cracked, tarnished surfaces, movement of hinges, and
chipped or worn parts. If any of these conditions appear, do not
use the device. Return devices to an authorized repair service
center for repair or replacement.
Before sterilizing, lubricate the device with instrument milk or a
steam permeable/ water soluble lubricant, following the
lubricant manufacturer’s instructions. Check for smooth action
of all moving parts.
Immediately proceed to recommended steam sterilization. Do
not store instrument prior to sterilization.
Let devices drip dry for three (3) minutes before packaging for
sterilization.
