Full list of warnings (continued)
Always seal the container with the
cables inside before sending it to
sterile services. Sealing the container
prevents splashes of contaminated
uid.
During full manual cleaning, always
rinse the cables under running
critical water for at least 1 minute 30
seconds after exposing the cables
to pH 7–11 enzymatic detergent, as
some detergent or contaminants
could remain on the cables.
During full manual cleaning, always
brush the cables under cold running
water using a soft-bristled brush until
there is no visible soil.
During full manual cleaning, ensure
that the cable is fully covered in
pH 7–11 enzymatic detergent when
soaking the cable.
Always use ISO 15883 compliant
washer/disinfectors.
Check that items placed into the
washer/disinfector tray are not
touching or shadowing each other.
This could result in ineective
cleaning/disinfection of the items.
Only use validated parameter
settings. Parameter settings that
have not been validated could result
in damage to, or ineective cleaning
of, Versius Electrosurgery Instrument
Cables.
Always dry the electrosurgery
instrument cables using a lint-free
cloth or with pressurised/medical air
before sterilisation. This is required
if using manual cleaning to clean the
cables and should be done if the
cables are still wet after automated
cleaning and thermal disinfection.
Failure to dry the cables could lead to
the cables not being fully sterilised.
If using a cloth to dry electrosurgery
instrument cables, ensure that the
cloth is lint-free as lint could cause
contamination and/or ineective
sterilisation.
Ensure that electrosurgery
instrument cables have been
thoroughly dried before sterilisation
as any moisture remaining could
result in ineective sterilisation.
