Preparations At The Place Of Use; Preparation Prior To Cleaning - Braun Acculan 3Ti Instrucciones De Manejo

Residues containing chlorine or chlorides e.g. in
surgical residues, medicines, saline solutions and in the
service water used for cleaning, disinfection and
sterilization will cause corrosion damage (pitting,
stress corrosion) and result in the destruction of
stainless steel products. To remove such residues, the
products must be rinsed sufficiently with fully
desalinated water and dried thoroughly.
Only process chemicals that have been tested and
approved (e.g. VAH/DGHM or FDA approval or CE mark)
and which are compatible with the product's materials
according to the
recommendations may be used for processing the
product. All process parameters specified by the
chemical's manufacturer, such as temperatures,
concentrations and exposure times, must be strictly
observed. Failure to do so can result in the following
problems:
• optical changes to the material, e.g. fading or
discoloration of titanium or aluminum. For
aluminum, pH >8 in the application/process can
already cause visible surface changes.
• material damage such as corrosion, cracks,
fracturing, premature aging or swelling.
Do not use process chemicals that cause stress
cracking or brittleness of plastic materials.
Further detailed advice on hygienically safe and
material-/value-preserving reprocessing can be
