4.5 Decontamination
For the regular disinfection of the work surfaces and other
surfaces of the pfm Forceps EWG 600, we recommend using
single-use disinfectant wipes, for example those recommended
by the RKI (Robert Koch Institute) or the VAH (Association
for Applied Hygiene) list: “Mikrozid AF” and “Bacillol AF”.
Repairs and maintenance work are usually carried out on
site. If this is not possible for any particular reason, the
instrument can be sent to pfm medical ag. Before you
send an instrument to pfmmedical for a service, it must
be suitably cleaned and decontaminated. This also applies
to instruments undergoing a service on site. Contaminat-
ed instruments pose a potential health hazard for anyone
coming into contact with them due to infectious agents,
pathogens or medicinal products. The legal requirements
for the handling of contaminated instruments are specified
in various regulations, including the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (ArbSchG), the Biological Agents Ordinance
(BioStoffV), the Occupational Safety Act (ASiG) and the
Accident Prevention Regulations (UVV). To confirm that
the instrument has been decontaminated, please complete
the decontamination certificate carefully. You can find the
current certificate on our website:

4.4 Returning the pfm Forceps EWF 600 for repair or maintenance
Servicing can only be carried out if a certificate is fully
completed in advance and enclosed with the instrument.
If it is found that the instrument poses a potential hazard,
we reserve the right to return the instrument to the sender
immediately at the sender’s expense.

original packaging together with the mains
cable. Remove the forceps from the base station
and carefully package them individually. Please
