CLEANING AND CARE:

Initial recommendations:

• Perform a visual and mechanical check of the new surgical instrument.
• Visible dirt should be removed as soon as possible to avoid drying residues.
• Avoid long waits before cleaning and disinfecting the instrument.

Preliminary manual cleaning:

• Initially, it should be hand-washed with neutral soap.
• In the operating room, the most visible dirt should be removed as soon as possible to avoid incrustation, which can lead to corrosion.
• Long waits before reprocessing (<1h) should be avoided.
• Dry cleaning is preferred, as medical products can corrode if immersed for long periods in solutions.
• If the dry process is insufficient, they should be washed with cold water (<40ºC), including cavities, grooves, and hard-to-reach holes, which should be cleaned with pressurized water. Avoid areas left unwashed. A soft-bristled plastic brush can be used.
• Thoroughly dry with an absorbent cloth that leaves no residues 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 container.
• Follow the disinfectant manufacturer's instructions for selecting the wash program, temperature, and time.
• Clean instruments with moving joints in the open position or by moving the joints to avoid "shadow areas." Follow the manufacturer's instructions for disassembling detachable instruments.
• Instruments must be placed with a minimum distance between them in the cleaning container to prevent overlapping and avoid damage from collisions.
• After the disinfection program is complete, wash the products with plenty of cold distilled water, paying special attention to the cavities, grooves, and hard-to-reach areas of the instrument, if possible, with pressurized water.
• Thoroughly dry with an absorbent cloth that leaves no residues or with compressed air.

Lubrication:

• Use Sterilit Protector Instrumental (ref. 13.859.1 and 13.859.2) to protect the instrument.
• Attach the provided white plastic tube with the spray and apply the aerosol oil directly to the joint area or hard-to-reach areas.
• Open and close the instrument several times to evenly distribute the oil and remove any excess oil with a lint-free cloth. Then, proceed with sterilizing the instrument, as the oil film is permeable to steam. It will act as a lubricant and anticorrosive without leaving stains on the instruments.

Sterilization:

• Sterilize the products according to the corresponding national requirements.
• The sterilization of the products must be done in an appropriate sterilization container.
