Information on reprocessing
Instructions for reprocessing are based on
internationally accepted guidelines, e.g., standard
ISO 17664.
Safety information
WARNING
Risk due to inappropriately reprocessed
products
Reusable products must be reprocessed,
otherwise there is an increased risk of
infection.
–
Follow the infection prevention policies and
reprocessing regulations of the healthcare
facility.
–
Follow the national infection prevention
policies and reprocessing regulations.
–
Use validated procedures for reprocessing.
–
Reprocess reusable products after every
use.
–
Observe the manufacturer's instructions
for cleaning agents, disinfectants, and
reprocessing devices.
CAUTION
Risk due to faulty products
Signs of wear, e.g., cracks, deformation,
discoloration, or peeling, may occur with
reprocessed products.
Check the products for signs of wear and replace
them if necessary.
Classifications for reprocessing
Classification of products
Products and their components are classified
according to the way they are used and the resulting
risk.
Classification
Explanation
Non-critical
Components that come only
into contact with skin that is
intact
Semi-critical (A, B) Components that carry
breathing gas or come into
contact with mucous
membranes or pathologically
altered skin
Critical (A, B, C)
Components that penetrate
skin or mucous membranes
or come into contact with
blood
Classification of device-specific components
Observe the instructions for use for the
components.
The following classification is a recommendation
from Dräger.
Non-critical
The components do not come into contact with the
patient and there can be no soiling of the inner
surfaces.

Reprocessing procedures
Validated reprocessing procedures
At the time of product-specific validation, the
following reprocessing procedures showed good
material compatibility and effectiveness:
Procedure
Surface disinfection with
cleaning
Agent
Dismozon plus
Manufacturer
BODE Chemie
Concentration
1.6 %
Contact time
15 min
The effectiveness of the listed reprocessing
procedures has been validated by independent
laboratories that certified to the standard ISO 17025.
Disinfectants
Use disinfectants that are nationally approved and are
suitable for the particular reprocessing procedure.
Surface disinfectants
At the time of the test, the surface disinfectants
listed in the following table showed good material
compatibility. They can be used in addition to the
surface disinfectants listed in the section "Validated
reprocessing procedures".
The manufacturers of the surface disinfectants have
verified at least the following spectra of activity:
–
Bactericidal
–
Yeasticidal
–
Virucidal or virucidal against enveloped viruses
Observe the specifications of the surface
disinfectant manufacturers.
Other surface disinfectants are used at one's own
risk.

Dräger states that oxygen-releasing agents and
chlorine-releasing agents may cause color change
in some materials. Color change does not indicate
that the product is not functioning correctly.
Surface disinfection with cleaning
For all exterior surfaces:
1
Remove soiling immediately. Use a cloth
dampened with disinfectant to remove soiling.
2
Perform surface disinfection.
3
After the product has been exposed to the
disinfectant for the specified contact time,
remove residual disinfectant.
4
Wipe with a cloth dampened with water
(preferably drinking-water quality). Allow the
product to dry.
5
Check the product for visible soiling. Repeat
steps 1 to 5 if necessary.
6
Check the product for visible damage and
replace if necessary.
After reprocessing
Assemble the device, see chapter "Assembly".
Disposing of the catheter holder
At the end of its service life:
Consult the relevant waste disposal company for
appropriate disposal.
Observe the applicable laws and regulations.
