INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
CLEANING: AUTOMATED
WARNING: READ GENERAL WARNINGS
1. Load the medical devices into the Washer Disinfector.
a) Avoid contact between devices (movement during washing could cause damage and washing action could be obstructed).
b) Arrange medical devices so that cannulations are not horizontal (to assist drainage).
2. The minimum recommended Washer/Disinfector cycle is below:
* Detergent can be omitted at the pre-wash stage if the equipment does not have this ability.
** If not using mild pH detergent, extend rinse time if possible to reduce possible degradation.
NOTE: Washer/Disinfectors should comply with the requirements of ISO 15883 (in preparation). They should be properly
installed and be regularly tested in accordance with ISO 15883
NOTE: Video Endoscope REF 81020 or 81020N disinfectant cleaning instructions on page 12.
DISINFECTION
Disinfection is only acceptable as an adjunct to full terminal sterilization for reusable surgical instruments. See sterilization section.
DRYING
Wipe off any water from the instrumentation with a soft lint-free towel. Compressed air can also be used to dry the SmartRelease®
Handpiece
NOTE: Even surgical instruments manufactured from high grade stainless steel must be dried thoroughly to prevent corrosion.
All devices must be inspected for cleanliness of surfaces, joints, and lumens, proper function, and wear and tear prior to
sterilization.
MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION AND FUNCTION TESTING
1. Carefully inspect each device to ensure that all visible blood and soil has been removed.
2. Visually inspect for damage and/or wear.
3. Check the action of moving parts to ensure smooth operation throughout the intended range of motion.
4. Where instruments form part of a larger assembly, check that the devices assemble with mating components.
NOTE: If concerns are noted that may compromise the function of the device, please contact your MicroAire representative.
PACKAGING
1. Single Instruments – A standard medical grade steam sterilization wrap may be used. Ensure that the wrap is large enough to
contain the instrument without stressing the packaging. (ANSI/AAMI ST79-2010)
2. Sets of Instruments – Sets of instruments may be loaded into dedicated instrument trays or general purpose sterilization trays
