Introduction
Full list of warnings (continued)
Always inspect cables using a
magnifying glass to detect possible
damage or soiling before sterilisation.
Always repeat the entire cleaning
process, including initial manual
cleaning, if any soil is present on the
electrosurgery instrument cables
during the inspection stage.
Do not pack electrosurgery
instrument cables that are cracked
or have faulty insulation as this may
result in burns or other injuries to the
patient or user.
Always pack the cables into
appropriately sized, steam-
permeable sterilisation peel pouches
with one cable only in each peel
pouch for sterilisation. Failure to
do so could result in damage or
ineective sterilisation.
Check that items placed in the
sterilisation tray are not touching or
shadowing each other as this could
result in ineective sterilisation.
Always place packaged cables into a
sterilisation tray before placing the
tray into the steam steriliser to avoid
damage.
The sterilisation process should
conform with ISO 17665-1.
Allow electrosurgery instrument
cables to cool down gradually to
room temperature before handling.
Sudden changes in temperature
could damage electrosurgery
instrument cables.
