ACCULAN sagittal saw GA 633

9. Care and handling

9.1 Manual preparation

9.1.1 Cleaning and disinfecting
The ACCULAN sagittal saw can be cleaned and disinfected with all
commercially available cleaning and disinfecting solutions that are
suitable for cleaning anodized aluminum surfaces and that may be
used in conformance with national and state laws. The
manufacturer's instructions with regard to dilution ratios, action
time, etc. must be followed.
Clean the ACCULAN sagittal saw with a soft brush or with a cloth
that has been moistened in disinfecting solution.
CAUTION
Do not lay, immerse or heat the ACCULAN sagittal saw in any
fluid. Laying or immersing the saw in fluid will damage its
mechanical components. Should any fluid penetrate the unit, allow
it to run out immediately.
9.1.2 Maintenance
The ACCULAN sagittal saw requires no maintenance.
9.1.3 Sterilization
In order to achieve safe and reliable sterilization of the saw, the
closure 2 must first be removed.
Sterilize the ACCULAN sagittal saw 1, closure 2 funnel 6 and
changing funnel 14 in a steam sterilizer only.
Sterilize with steam, taking note of the following:
Carry out steam sterilization via an approved steam sterilization
procedure (e.g. sterilizer in conformance with EN 285/ANSI/AAMI/
ISO 11134-1993, ANSI/AAMI ST46-1993 and validated in
conformance with EN 554/ISO 13683). Carry out prevacuum
sterilization for a minimum of 5 minutes at 27 °F/134 °C and at 2
bar pressure.
As needed, lay the components on a textile surface or wrap them
in cloths.
Position the ACCULAN sagittal saw in the sterilizer in such a way
that any condensation that forms in the battery shaft will run out.
The battery shaft must be absolutely dry after sterilization.
CAUTION
Do not under any circumstances sterilize the rechargeable
batteries, since heating them to a temperature above 65 °C will
cause irreparable damage to them.
For information on the use of the rechargeable battery GA 616,
see Section 10.

9.2.1 Cleaning and disinfecting
CAUTION
Improper mechanical cleaning will damage the
ACCULAN sagittal saw!
Clean the ACCULAN sagittal saw in a suitable
storage tray only.
Use a suitable cleaning and disinfecting cycle for
mechanical cleaning.
Do not use alkaline cleaning agents.
Perform mechanical cleaning immediately after the operation.
Place storage tray GB 509 R in a suitable wire basket (e.g. JF 214 R).
Position the ACCULAN sagittal saw properly in storage tray
GB 509 R immediately after the operation.
To avoid abrupt changes in temperature, use a single-chamber
washer disinfector.
Select a cleaning and disinfecting cycle according to the following
criteria:
– Neutral cleaner
– Cleaning temperature ≤ 50 °C
– Final rinse with simultaneous thermal disinfection in
demineralized water.
Example: Miele Vario TD process.
Follow the instructions for use of the Aesculap ECCOS storage
system TA 009 721.
9.2.2 Maintenance

cleaned mechanically.
The saw can remain in the storage tray during sterilization.
Sterilize with steam, taking note of the following:
Carry out steam sterilization via an approved steam sterilization
procedure (e.g. sterilizer in conformance with EN 285/ANSI/AAMI/
ISO 11134-1993, ANSI/AAMI ST46-1993 and validated in con-
formance with EN 554/ISO 13683). Carry out prevacuum steriliza-
tion for a minimum of 5 minutes at 274 °F/134 °C and at 2 bar
pressure.
CAUTION
Do not under any circumstances sterilize the rechargeable
batteries, since heating them to a temperature above 65 °C will
cause irreparable damage to them.
