Cleaning And Reprocessing; Cleaning The Camera Console; Reprocessing The Camera Head - Stryker 1288010000 Manual Del Usuario

Cleaning and Reprocessing

The camera console is not intended to come into contact with the patient. It may be cleaned, but
not sterilized. The camera head and coupler may contact the patient and must both be cleaned and
sterilized prior to every use.

Cleaning the Camera Console

Disconnect the console from the AC power source before cleaning.
Caution Never immerse or sterilize the camera console as this will damage the camera
and void the warranty.
Should the camera console need cleaning, wipe it down with a sterile cloth and mild cleaning
solution.

Reprocessing the Camera Head

These reprocessing instructions are provided in accordance with ISO 17664, AAMI TIR12, AAMI
ST79, and AAMI ST81. While they have been validated by Stryker as being capable of preparing
the device for re-use, it remains the responsibility of the processor to ensure that the reprocessing
as actually performed, using equipment, materials, and personnel in the reprocessing facility,
achieves the desired result. This normally requires validation and routine monitoring of the
process. Stryker recommends users observe these standards when reprocessing medical devices.
Warnings
• This device must be cleaned and sterilized prior to the first use and after every subsequent
use.
• Use only the sterilization cycles outlined in this document. Using unspecified sterilization
cycles may damage the device or result in incomplete sterilization.
• Separate the camera head, coupler, and scope prior to cleaning, disinfection, or
sterilization. If the coupler and camera head are cleaned, disinfected, or sterilized as a
single unit, disconnecting the coupler during use will compromise the sterility of the two
products. (Refer to the coupler and scope product manuals for reprocessing instructions.)
• Wear appropriate protective equipment: gloves, eye protection, etc.
Cautions
• Always install the soaking cap prior to processing the camera. Failure to properly tighten
the soaking cap will corrode the connector pins and void the warranty.
• Inspect the camera cable for cuts and breaks before soaking in any fluid. Return any
damaged camera to Stryker for service.
• Never soak the camera in the same tray with sharp instruments.
• Do not use brushes or pads with metal or abrasive tips during manual cleaning, as
permanent scoring or damage could result.
• To minimize galvanic corrosion, avoid soaking dissimilar metals in close proximity.
• Only camera heads marked autoclavable can withstand steam sterilization. Autoclaving
camera heads that do not bear this marking will result in product damage.
• Allow the camera head to cool before connecting it to the console. Connecting the camera
head while it is still hot may result in system error.
