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. Disinfection of device components following
normal usage may be achieved using the following methods:
Option 1: Thermal Rinse:
A Thermal Disinfection rinse may be added after the first rinse cycle as indicated in Table 3. See Cleaning section.
Option 2: Chemical / Bleach Soak:
Bleach solutions produce chlorine gas. Prepare in a well-ventilated area.
Note: Hypochlorite potency decreases as bleach ages. Use only recently purchased/ opened bleach to
prepare disinfection solutions. Do not use pre-diluted bleach. Prepare a new bleach solution for each
application.
Hypochlorite (Bleach) mixing guidelines to obtain 20,000 ppm solution:
1. Prepare a solution for general disinfection (See Table 5 and Table 6 guidelines for bleach solution)
2. Disassemble the device. (see above disassembly instructions in Option 1 Manual Cleaning)
3. With the device disassembled, place components in a shallow pan and add enough bleach
solution to cover the device completely.
4. Soak components for 15 minutes.
5. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Ensure no bleach residue remains on components.
Use of highly alkaline detergents/ agents will cause a material degradation if present during autoclaving.
Ensure device is thoroughly rinsed and all detergents are removed prior to use.
6.
Dry with a soft, clean towel.
