2. Completely immerse the HF cable in the disinfectant for
45 minutes.
Make sure that there are no air bubbles on the products while
immersed.

1. Completely immerse the HF cable in 8 liters of sterile
deionized water for at least 1 minute.
2. Rinse all lumens with at least 100 ml of sterile deionized
