2. Immerse the insert assembly in drinking/potable water with
a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F). Wipe
insert assembly with a lint-free cloth to remove gross soil
for at least 45 seconds.
3. Using a soft bristled brush under cold tap water, brush until
all visible soil has been removed. While brushing, pay
particular attention to hinges, crevices and other difficult-to-
clean areas.
4. Position the insert assembly with the distal tip pointed
down. Connect a syringe with a Luer lock to the flush port
and flush with a minimum of 50 ml of drinking/potable
lukewarm 27°C - 44°C water. Repeat the flush process a
minimum of 3 times (i.e. total of 4 times), ensuring all fluid
exiting the insert assembly is clear of soil.
5. Clean the insert assemblies via the automatic cleaning
parameters below.
6. Manipulate the insert assembly to allow rinse water to drain.
7. If visible moisture is present dry the insert assembly with a
clean, lint-free towel.
8. Visually examine each insert assembly for cleanliness.
9. If visible soil remains, repeat cleaning procedure until the
insert assembly is thoroughly clean.
Note:
The final rinse step should be performed with treated
water: purified, deionized, distilled or reverse osmosis. If tap
water is used as part of the final rinse, ensure corrosion does
not occur.
Inspection
Proper care and handling is essential for satisfactory
performance of any surgical device. The previously listed
cautions should be taken to ensure long and trouble-free
service. All insert assemblies must be examined for full
functionality prior to and after use. Moving parts of the insert
assembly should be easily operable. Inspect insert assemblies
for broken, cracked, discolored, or tarnished surfaces.
Inspect for hindered movement of hinges, loose components,
and chipped or worn parts. Inspect insulation for breaks or
damage. If any of these conditions appear, do not use the insert
assembly. Return insert assemblies to an authorized Snowden-
Pencer Representative for repair or replacement.
