WARNINGS:

• The instrument must be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized by the clinician before first use and after each use.

CLEANING AND CARE:

Manual preliminary cleaning:

• Initially, it must be hand washed with neutral soap.
• In the operating room, the most apparent dirt should be removed as soon as possible to avoid embedding that can lead to corrosion.
• Long processing times should be avoided (<1h).
• Dry cleaning is preferable as medical devices may corrode if immersed for long periods in solutions.
• If the dry process is insufficient, it will be necessary to wash them with cold water (<40°C), including cavities, grooves, and hard-to-reach holes that must be washed with pressurized water. Avoid leaving unwashed areas. A soft plastic brush can be used.
• Thoroughly dry with an absorbent cloth that leaves no residue or with compressed air.

Cleaning and disinfection:

• Immerse the products in a solution of distilled water with an appropriate disinfectant in an ultrasonic bath or tank.
• Follow the instructions provided by the disinfectant product manufacturer to select the washing program, temperature, and time.
• Clean instruments with movable joints in the open position or by moving the joints to avoid "shadow areas". Follow the manufacturer's instructions for disassembling detachable instruments.
• The instruments must be fixed with minimal spacing between them in the cleaning container and overlapping must be avoided to prevent damage to the products from collisions.
• After completing the disinfection program, wash the products with plenty of cold distilled water, thoroughly insisting on the cavities, grooves, and hard-to-reach holes of the instrument, if possible with pressurized water.
• Thoroughly dry with an absorbent cloth that leaves no residue or with compressed air.

Sterilization:

• Sterilize the products taking into account the corresponding national requirements. Product sterilization must be carried out in a suitable sterilization container according to DIN EN ISO 11607-1 and EN 868 standards.
• Sterilization must be carried out using a pre-vacuum fractional process with the following parameters: 134°C, 5 minutes waiting time, 3 pre-vacuum cycles. Vacuum drying for at least 20 minutes.
