Point-of-use preparation
Warnings
Only use validated cleaning solutions.
Cleaning solutions that have not been
validated (e.g. bleach or hydrogen
peroxide) may result in damage to, or
ineective cleaning of, cables.
Take care when handling
contaminated uids or chemicals, as
skin contact, inhalation or ingestion
may cause harm. Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) should be worn,
according to local guidelines.
When undertaking point-of-use
preparation and initial manual
cleaning, do not use water or any
other uid, such as enzymatic
detergent, at a temperature higher
than 45 °C (113 °F). This could cause
proteins to stick to the surfaces
of the Versius Electrosurgery
Instrument Cables and may result in
ineective cleaning.
Do not use strong acidic (pH < 7)
solutions, cleaners or rinse aids
as these may damage Versius
Electrosurgery Instrument Cables.
Do not use strong alkaline (pH > 11)
solutions, cleaners or rinse aids
as these may damage Versius
Electrosurgery Instrument Cables.
Always seal the container with the
cables inside before sending it to
sterile services. Sealing the container
prevents splashes of contaminated
uid.
Precautions
Take care when handling and
transporting Versius Electrosurgery
Instrument Cables to avoid damage.
