■ Disinfection
Plastic biopsy kits can only be disinfected by using a chemically compatible cold-
disinfectant. Disinfection by autoclaving or by using gas or radiation will cause
damage to these parts.
Please refer to the user manual of the disinfectant for storage, use, and disposal of the
disinfectant.
1. Check the disinfection duration (generally 10 hours) and temperature of the
disinfectant.
2. After disinfection, follow the proper post-disinfection procedure for the disinfection
method used.
3. Inspect the components for damage such as cracks, rust or breakage. If damage is
evident, discontinue use of the biopsy kit and contact Samsung Medison’s servicing
department.
■ Sterilization
CAUTION
■ The plastic biopsy adapter is reusable.
