CMR versius - Initial Manual Cleaning

Initial manual cleaning
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
ineective 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.
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.
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
ineective cleaning.
Precautions
Do not use an ultrasonic bath when
reprocessing the electrosurgery
instrument cables. Using an
ultrasonic bath will cause damage to
the cables.
Appendix A lists the maximum
number of reprocessing cycles for
Versius Electrosurgery Instrument
Cables. Do not reprocess Versius
Electrosurgery Instrument Cables
beyond their maximum number of
reprocessing cycles as this may result
in damage to the cables.
