• The sterilization parameters presented in this document apply only
when the device is sterilized outside of a sterilization tray. When
using a sterilization tray, consult the instructions provided with
the tray for proper sterilization parameters. Stryker recommends
sterilizing the device inside of a sterilization tray.
• To avoid health risks from aerosol contamination, brush the device
only when it is submerged in liquid.
• Wear appropriate protective equipment: gloves, eye protection, etc.
• Devices repaired by or purchased from third-party service
organizations could expose patients to significant risk. These devices
are no longer validated by Stryker for cleanliness, disinfection, and
sterilization, or for safety and efficacy.
• The user shall defer to the facility's procedures regarding
occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
Cautions
• Do not use brushes or pads with metal or abrasive tips during
manual cleaning, as permanent scoring or damage could result.
• The device cannot withstand automated disinfection.
• The 4K Coupler is not autoclavable. Steam sterilizing couplers that
are not marked autoclave will result in product damage.
• To minimize galvanic corrosion, avoid soaking dissimilar metals in
close proximity.
Limitations on Reprocessing
• Do not cross-sterilize the device. Using multiple sterilization
methods can significantly reduce the performance of the device.
• Repeated automated cleaning can degrade the product's cosmetic
appearance.
• Damage incurred by improper processing will not be covered by the
warranty.
