Preparation for 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.
Precautions
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.
Do not use pressurised or medical
air at greater than 3 bar (43.5 psi) to
avoid damage to the electrosurgery
instrument cables.
Do not coil the cable too tightly when
packing into a peel pouch as this
could result in damage to the cable.
The coil diameter should be at least
16 mm.

Follow all applicable national and
local laws and guidelines or hospital
protocols for cleaning/disinfection
and sterilisation.
