STORAGE:

WARNINGS:

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

CLEANING AND CARE:

Preliminary manual cleaning:

• Initially, it must be hand washed with mild soap.
• In the operating room, the most apparent dirt must be removed as soon as possible to avoid encrustation that can lead to corrosion.
• Long waiting times for reprocessing should be avoided (<1h).
• Dry cleaning is preferable as medical devices can corrode if immersed for a long time in solutions.
• If the dry process is insufficient, it will be necessary to wash them with cold water (<40ºC), including the cavities, grooves, and difficult-to-access holes that must be washed with pressurized water. Avoid leaving unwashed areas. You can use a soft plastic brush.
• Dry thoroughly 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 manufacturer of the disinfectant product to select the washing program, temperature, and time.
• Clean instruments with movable joints in the open position or move the joints to avoid "shadow areas". Follow the manufacturer's instructions for disassembling removable instruments.
• The instruments must be placed with minimal separation in the cleaning container and avoid overlapping them to prevent damage from collisions.
• At the end of the disinfection program, wash the products thoroughly with plenty of cold distilled water, insisting thoroughly on the cavities, grooves, and difficult-to-access holes of the instrument, if possible with pressurized water.
• Dry thoroughly with an absorbent cloth that leaves no residue or with compressed air.

Sterilization:

• Sterilization of products considering 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 by a fractional pre-vacuum process with the following parameters: 134°C, 5 min waiting time, 3 pre-vacuum cycles. Vacuum drying for at least 20 min.
