Hygienic preparation 39
6. Hygienic preparation
Whenever MEDUMAT Standard a and accessories
have been used, they must undergo a hygienic
preparation. Observe the instructions regarding use
of disinfectant. We recommend gigasept
®
FF (new)
for disinfecting by immersion and terralin
®
protect
for disinfecting by wiping.
Make sure you perform a functional check after
every hygienic preparation (note “7. Functional
checks“ on page 45).
This product may contain disposable items. Dispos-
able items are intended to be used only once. So use
these items only once and do
not reprocess them.
Reprocessing disposable items may impair the func-
tionality and safety of the product and lead to un-
foreseeable reactions as a result of ageing,
embrittlement, wear, thermal load, the effects of
chemical processes, etc.
6.1 MEDUMAT Standard a
MEDUMAT Standard a’s outer casing simply needs
to be wiped with a dry or damp cloth.
Never immerse MEDUMAT Standard a in disinfect-
ant or other fluids. Just wipe over with disinfectant.
Otherwise damage may be caused to the device,
thus endangering users and patients (note “6.6
Cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing“ on page 44).
