Limitations on the number of cleaning and
sterilization cycles: Cleaning and sterilization
cycles repeated over time have minimum
effects on the instruments examined in this
Manual.The life expectancy of the products is
usually determined by their consumption and
by damages caused from their use.
WARNING: The operators who perform
the cleaning and sterilization operations
must be adequately protected and trained
WARNING: Infections control.
First use: All new and repaired accessories
are supplied in NON STERILE conditions.
Before use, and after each treatment, they
must be cleaned and sterilised in strict
compliance with the instructions given in
the Cleaning and Sterilization Manual.
Subsequent uses: After every treatment,
clean and sterilize all the reusable parts
and accessories, following the instructions
provided in the Cleaning and Sterilization
Manual.
WARNING: The cleaning processes
must be commenced immediately after
each use. Do not allow that contaminated
instruments dry up before starting
the cleaning and sterilization process.
To eliminate organic remains such as
blood, bone, and other, use an enzymatic
detergent with neutral pH (pH7),
immediately after use.
CAUTION: Do not use metallic brushes
or abrasive sponges during the cleaning
processes,because they damage the
surfaces of the treated parts and the
finishes of the inserts. Only use brushes
with soft nylon bristles.
CAUTION: The detergent solution must
be completely removed from the treated
parts to prevent accumulation of chemical
residues.
CAUTION: During cleaning procedures
only use detergents with pH 6-9.
CAUTION: If you intend to disinfect,
we recommend that you use water-based
disinfectant solutions with a neutral pH
(pH 7). Alcohol-based disinfectant solutions
and hydrogen peroxide are contra-
indicated, because they can fade the color
and/or damage the plastic materials.This
also holds true for chemical products such
as acetone and alcohol. Always rinse with
sterile water to preserve the disinfection.
WARNING: Do not use tap water, unless
where explicitly indicated.
WARNING: Reusable accessories that
must be forwarded to an Authorized
Mectron Service Center. All the parts must
be cleaned and sterilized in accordance to
the procedures described in this Manual,
before they are sent to an Authorized
Mectron Service Center.
