Disinfection
The MAYFIELD 2 Skull Clamp must be thoroughly cleaned after each use. Where possible, keep the
soiled areas moist until the disinfection process can be initiated.
IMPORTANT: If the product has been exposed to persistent pathogens 1 , do not apply gluteraldehyde,
alcohol or formalin to the device until the decontamination process is complete. After
decontamination, normal cleaning processes can be employed (see Decontamination section).
1. Remove Ratchet Extension from the Clamp Base (see Figure 5).
• Visually confirm there are no skull pins in the Rocker Arm or Torque Screw sockets.
2. Remove skull pins if present.
3. Remove gross debris and soil from the Skull Clamp components.
4. Remove Torque Screw from Ratchet Extension.
Disinfection of device components following normal usage may be achieved using the following
methods:
Method 1: Thermal Rinse
• A Thermal Disinfection rinse may be added after the first rinse cycle as indicated in Table 3.
Method 2: Chemical
• Prepare a fresh solution for general disinfection (See Table 4 guidelines for bleach solution).
• With the device disassembled, place parts in a shallow pan and add enough general disinfection
solution to cover the device completely.
• Allow the parts to soak for 15 minutes.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
· Verify concentration of base hypochlorite is 4.5% or more
· Mix 1/2 unit of bleach into 10 units of water.
1. Persistent pathogens are resistant to deactivation by normal disinfection procedures and may require more
aggressive treatment to achieve disinfection. See guidelines in Decontamination section for recommended
procedures.
