Always use caution when inserting or removing instruments
through cannula. Lateral pressure on the instrument during
removal can damage the working tip, shaft of the instrument
and/or insulation. Be sure the tips are closed and the
instrument is pulled straight out until completely clear of
cannula to avoid catching the valve assemblies in cannulas or
dislodging the cannula.
Use only neutral pH (6-8) solutions.
Pre-processing Instructions
nitiate cleaning of device within 2 hours of use.
Transport devices via the institutions established transport
procedure.
Remove excess gross soil as soon as possible after use by
rinsing or wiping the device.
All devices must be processed in the completely open
configuration.
All flush ports shall remain in the fully open position.
When sterilizing or storing this device, always use the
protective/sterilizing sleeve provided. Failure to use the
sleeve may result in premature device failure. This device
should never be folded or bent to fit into a small
sterilization tray.
Manual Cleaning
1. Ensure all pre-processing instructions are followed prior to
cleaning.
2. Prepare the enzymatic / neutral pH detergent solution,
utilizing tap water with a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C
(81°F to 111°F), per manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Place device in the open/relaxed position, with flush port
open, and completely immerse in the detergent solution and
allow device to soak for a minimum of 5 minutes. Actuate
all movable parts during the initiation of the soak time.
4. Using a soft bristled brush, remove all visible soil from the
device. Actuate device while brushing, paying particular
attention to hinges, crevices and other difficult to clean
areas. Note: t is recommended that the detergent solution
is changed when it becomes grossly contaminated (bloody
and/or turbid).
5. For lumen devices, use a soft bristled brush with a brush
diameter and length that is equivalent to lumen diameter
and length. Scrub the lumen (i.e. angulated/nonangulated
positions) until no visible soil is detected in the lumen
rinsing step below.
6. For lumen devices, place the device into the open/relaxed
position with the distal tip pointed down. Flush the device
with a minimum of 50 ml of detergent solution utilizing a
temperature range of 27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F), by
using the flushing port located on the handle/shaft. Repeat
the flush process a minimum of 2 times (i.e. total of 3
times) ensuring all fluid exiting the lumen is clear of soil.
7. For lumen devices, if visible soil is detected during the final
lumen flush, re-perform brushing and flushing of the lumen.
8. Rinse the device by completely immersing in tap water with
a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F), for a
minimum of 30 seconds to remove any residual detergent
or debris.
9. For lumen devices, following the rinsing step, place the
device into the open/relaxed position with the distal tip
pointed down. Flush the device with a minimum of 50 ml of
tap water utilizing a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C
(81°F to 111°F), by using the flushing port located on the
handle/shaft. Repeat the flush process a minimum of 2
times (i.e. total of 3 times).
