17.2.5 Clean and Sterilize the Needle-Guided Bracket
• Needle-guided brackets whose name starts with NGB are reusable, and
need thorough cleaning and sterilization before and after each biopsy.
• Follow local regulations when selecting and using the disinfectant.
• Repeated sterilization may degrade the safety and performance of the
needle-guided bracket. Before use, please check whether the needle-
guided bracket has defects such as deformation and rusting. If such
defects exist, the bracket has reached the end of its service life. In this
case, stop using it and contact the Mindray service department.
• It is recommended to use immersion sterilization for plastic needle-guided
brackets and high-pressure steam sterilization for metal needle-guided
brackets.
• For detailed operations about the cleaning solvent, sterilant and high-
temperature steam sterilizer, see the respective operator’s manuals
provided by the manufacturer.
Disposable components are packaged sterile and are single-use only. Do not use if integrity of
packaging is violated or if expiration date has passed. Please use the disposable components
compliant with the relevant local regulations.
Cleaning
Perform the following procedure:
1. Wear a pair of gloves to prevent infection.
2. After use, immerse the needle-guided bracket in distilled water immediately to prevent dirt
from drying. Wipe the entire surface of the needle-guided bracket by using a piece of
disposable lint-free soft cloth to remove coarse dirt.
3. Prepare a cleaning solvent (enzymatic or neutral pH detergent, e.g., liquinox, MetriZyme) by
using distilled or softened water in accordance with the operator’s manual provided by the
manufacturer.
