7.1 Cleaning and disinfection
CAUTION
Damage to the product!
Only perform reprocessing using chemicals approved by KARL STORZ. A list of approved
chemicals can be requested from [email protected].
The instructions for use "Cleaning, Disinfection, Care, and Sterilization of KARL STORZ
Instruments" (item no. 96216003) must be downloaded from http://www.karlstorz.com and
followed.
NOTE: The connector and the corresponding sockets in the laryngoscope and in the
electronic module are absolutely water-tight in all eventualities. All three connections are
also resistant to the process chemicals used in the validated reprocessing methods
employed. You may leave the connections unprotected during the validated reprocessing
procedures. In particular when the tray holder 39501 LC2 is used in a reprocessing
machine, no further accessories are needed.
CAUTION
Damage to the product
To prevent possible damage, these connections may only be fitted together when dry. If
reprocessing is carried out which does not provide for drying or where compressed air drying
cannot be carried out, the reprocessing cap 8401 YZ must therefore be used.
