High-pressure steam sterilization   
High-pressure steam sterilization is preferred for the metal guided brackets. 
1.  Wear a pair of gloves to prevent infection. 
2.  Clean the needle-guided bracket thoroughly in accordance with the cleaning procedure 
before sterilization. 
3.  Package the needle-guided bracket in accordance with the sterilization requirements of 
surgical instruments
 using the sterilization wrap or pouch cleared by FDA. 
4.  Place the packaged needle-guided bracket inside a high-temperature steam sterilizer and 
perform sterilization. The sterilization parameters are 121°C and 30 minutes for a gravity 
displacement steam sterilizer. 
5.  Take out the sterilization package after sterilization and dry it in an oven at 60°C for 20–
30 minutes. 
6.  Keep the sterilization package together with other sterilized surgical instruments in a 
sterile item storage area. 
7.  Check whether the needle-guided bracket has defects such as deformation and rusting 
before use. 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.
 
1. 
Repeated sterilization may degrade the safety and performance of the needle-
guided bracket. Please check the needle-guided bracket’s performance 
periodically. 
2. 
Needle guided brackets are required to verified before each biopsy. If the 
verification fails, it indicates that the needle-guided brackets are out of service 
life. For details about needle guided bracket verification, please refer to "13.2.5 
Verify Biopsy Guide Line".
