Automated cleaning and disinfection of
Osscora motor with cable and contra
angle handpiece
Cochlear recommends automated cleaning and
disinfection using a washer-disinfector.
Disassemble the contra-angle handpiece before
automatic cleaning and disinfection (see page 43).
The motor with cable must not be twisted, kinked or
be coiled too tight.
Before disinfection and cleaning push the motor
protective cover onto the motor attachment.
Evidence of the medical device’s basic suitability
for effective automated disinfection was provided
by an independent test laboratory using the »Miele
PG 8582 CD« washer disinfector (Miele & Cie.
KG, Gütersloh) and the »Dr. Weigert neodisher®
MediClean forte« cleaning agent (Dr. Weigert GmbH
& Co. KG, Hamburg) according to ISO 15883.
– Cleaning at 55°C (131°F) – 5 minutes
– Disinfection at 93°C (200°F) – 5 minutes
Make sure, that the contra-angle handpiece is
completely dry internally and externally after thermo
washer disinfection. Remove any liquid residues with
compressed air.
Assemble and lubricate the dry contra-angle
handpiece immediately after thermo washer
disinfection. See page 44 and 45 on how to assemble
and lubricate the handpiece.
