5.5 Sterilization
Sealing the Package
Before placing the instrument in the
package, always retract the hook into the
coil sheath. Otherwise, they could tear
the package during sterilization or
storage and compromise its sterility,
which could pose an infection control risk
or cause tissue irritation.
• Do not coil the insertion portion with a
diameter of less than 20 cm. This could
damage the insertion portion.
• Never use excessive force to operate the
instrument. This could damage the
instrument.
1. Before sterilization, the instrument must be
thoroughly cleaned and dried. Residual moisture
inhibits sterilization.
2. Coil the insertion portion and place the instrument in
the package.
3. Seal the package. For details on sealing, refer to the
instruction manual of the package and the sealing
device.
