Reprocessing Instructions
Preparat
ion at
the Point
of Use:
Before cleaning, disconnect the component from the Helios 500.
Remove gross contaminations from the components with cold water
(<40°C) immediately after use. Don’t use a fixating detergent or hot
water (>40°C) as this can cause the fixation of residuals which may
influence the result of the reprocessing process.
Store the components in a humid surrounding.
Do not submerge the components or wipe them with any of the
following functional water (acidic electrolyzed water, strong alkaline
solution, or ozone water), medical agents (glutaral, etc.), or any other
special types of water or commercial cleaning liquids. Such liquids may
result in metal corrosion and adhesion of the residual medical agents
to the components.
Transpor
tation:
Safe storage and transportation to the reprocessing area to avoid any
damage and contamination to the environment.
Preparat
ion for
Deconta
mination
:
