13. Reprocessing guidelines
Drying
– Ensure that the motor with cable and handpiece is
completely dry internally and externally after cleaning
and disinfection.
– Remove any liquid residues using compressed air.
Packaging
Pack the cleaned and disinfected motor with cable and
handpiece in sterilisation packaging that meets the
following requirements:
– The sterilisation package must meet the applicable
standards in respect of quality and use and must be
suitable for the sterilisation method.
– The sterilisation package must be large enough for
the sterilisation goods.
– The loading sterilisation package must not be under
tension.
Sterilisation
Cochlear recommends sterilisation according to EN
13060, EN 285 or ANSI/AAMI ST79.
Follow your country-specific directives, and guidelines
based on the standards related to sterilisation of
medical devices.
The program selected must be suitable for the medical
device. Read the notes, follow the instructions, and
heed the warnings provided by the manufacturers of
steam sterilisers.
For sterilisation in sterilisers WITH a drying program we
recommend removing the motor protective cover.
For sterilisation in sterilisers WITHOUT a drying
program we recommend using the motor protective
cover.
