Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization
182099015-V01-10.Juni2013-GA-MCL31-THAI 53
Procedure for metal parts WITHOUT optics ONLY (e.g. laser )
Tooling/resources: tool for cleaning/disinfection, neutral cleaner
1. Load accessory parts into the device in a position such that water can flow out
from cannula openings and blind holes, if any.
2. Set the device parameters according to the manufacturer's specification.
3. Inspect accessories for visible dirt when removing them. In particular, check that
blind holes and cannulae are clean. Repeat the cycle if necessary or clean by
hand.
1. Procedure for metal parts WITHOUT optics (e.g. laser handpiece spacer)
For manual cleaning, spray disinfectant (e.g. Kodan) onto accessories, allow
some time for reaction according to the manufacturer's specifications, then wipe
disinfectant off.
For automatic cleaning, thermal disinfection should generally be used. In doing
so, observe the manufacturer's specifications.
2. Procedure for the basic body of the handpiece:
Accessible surfaces must be disinfected with a disinfectant wipe (e.g. Kodan
wipes). Observe the manufacturer's specifications.
Ensure, that any optical surfaces inside the basic body are not touched!
Procedure for metal parts WITHOUT optics ONLY (e.g. laser spacer)
Vacuum autoclave for at least five minutes at 134°C.
Do not exceed a temperature of 150°C!
Observe the manufacturer's specifications.
Packaging
for sterile parts:
A sterile goods package can be used. It must be large enough to hold the accessory
so its lock will not be under strain.
Parts must be stored and moved clean and protected from contamination. The rules
for storage and transportation in the Technical Data section must be observed.
Sterile parts must be stored and moved in sterile goods packages and protected from
damage.
The manufacturer has endorsed the above instructions as APPROPRIATE for the procedures to
prepare accessories for reuse.
CAUTION
The individual reconditioning a part will be responsible for achieving the required results,
based on the actual reconditioning procedures and selected tooling/resources and mate-
rials.
Normally, procedural validation and routine monitoring are required for this purpose. Any devia-
tion from an instruction above should also be carefully analyzed by reconditioning personnel for
their effectiveness and any adverse effects.
