Processing Instructions
Point of Use (Post-Surgery)
CAUTIONS:
▪
DO NOT use saline to wet or soak the equipment before transport
to the decontamination processing area.
▪
If transport to the decontamination processing area is delayed,
cover the equipment with a damp cloth or spray the equipment
with a pretreatment foam as often as necessary to maintain
moisture. The pretreatment foam will minimize the drying of soil
and facilitate later decontamination processing. DO NOT allow
pretreatment foam to dry on the equipment.
▪
Avoid mechanical damage during transport. DO NOT mix heavy
devices with delicate devices.
Use absorbent wipes to remove gross soil from the equipment. Clean
the equipment as soon as practical, typically within two hours, to
preclude extended or repeat cleaning procedures.
Cleaning
WARNINGS:
▪
Use filtered water for diluting detergents and for rinsing the
equipment. Mineral residues from hard water can stain the
equipment and/or prevent effective cleaning and decontamination.
▪
To clean the equipment, use specifically formulated detergents
only.
▪
Read, understand, and follow the indications, instructions, and
safety information supplied with the detergent for correct handling
and use of the product.
▪
ALWAYS prepare the detergent solution according to the
manufacturer's recommendations. Pay particular attention to the
concentration used and the total dispersion.
▪
Clean the equipment as indicated before first and every use.
Use the cleaning methods as indicated in these instructions.
Other cleaning methods may prevent proper sterilization of the
equipment.
CAUTIONS:
▪
Prior to cleaning, separate all detachable components and
remove single use cutting accessories from the cement gun.
▪
Use personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times during
cleaning. DO NOT disassemble the cement gun for cleaning or
sterilization.
▪
DO NOT allow bone cement to harden on the ram shaft.

▪
Poor water quality can adversely affect the life of medical
devices. ALWAYS follow the water quality requirements per
Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation
(AAMI) TIR 34.
▪
ALWAYS use a detergent that is suitable for use on aluminum and
stainless steel surfaces.
▪
ALWAYS handle the equipment with care. DO NOT drop the
equipment.
▪
DO NOT use solvents, lubricants, or other chemicals, unless
otherwise specified.
▪
DO NOT use ultrasonic cleaning equipment.
▪
DO NOT immerse or soak any equipment in liquid. Equipment
may be placed briefly under running water to ensure thorough
wetting and contact with liquid while actuating moving parts.
▪
DO NOT use pipe cleaners or cotton swabs to clean lumens or
connector receptacles.
▪
ALWAYS make sure the detergent solution is completely rinsed
from the interior and exterior of the equipment before drying the
equipment.
▪
Use of compressed air is only recommended for drying of
equipment.
1. Remove all gross soil from the equipment using absorbent wipes
or a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with the prepared detergent
solution. Device may be placed briefly under running water or
flushed with a water-filled syringe to assist in the removal of gross
soil. Bone cement may be scraped from the outer surface.
2. Thoroughly clean the equipment. Use suitable brushes and
detergent solution to clean all surfaces. Pay particular attention to
rough surfaces, crevices, and difficult-to-reach areas where soil
may be shielded from brushing. Actuate all moving parts to clean
hidden surfaces.
3. Thoroughly rinse the equipment with warm, running water until
all traces of detergent solution are removed. Hold the equipment
on an incline, distal end pointing down. Pay particular attention
to rough surfaces, hinges, blind holes, and joints between mating
parts. Actuate all moving parts to rinse hidden surfaces.
4. Visually inspect the equipment for any remaining soil or detergent
solution. If soil or detergent solution remains, repeat the cleaning
procedure using fresh detergent solution.
5. Allow the equipment to drain on absorbent wipes. If possible,
orient the equipment vertically to assist in drainage.
6. Dry the equipment with a soft, lint-free cloth or medical-grade
compressed air, or by heating the equipment in an oven below
110 °C [230 °F].
7. After cleaning, inspect the equipment.
