After disassembly, clean the rails, arms and threaded tubes
manually, e.g. by using a brush. The springs in the upper arm
at button (1) should be cleaned also. Broken or damaged
parts should be replaced.
The cannulated nails are intended for single use only.
After cleaning, oil the thread of the threaded tube and the
two holes located next to the side buttons and reassemble
the device.
The pelvic C-clamp should be checked after every use/
cleaning/sterilization to confirm that all parts move freely
as intended.
The complete, sterile pelvic C-clamp should be kept ready
for use in the resuscitation room.
Because the pelvic C-clamp consists of stainless steel,
aluminum and a few pieces of polymer, it should always
be cleaned at temperatures below 284ºF (140°C), using
a detergent with a pH between 7 and 9.5.
