Inspection/Maintenance
Proper care and handling is essential for satisfactory
performance of any surgical device. The previous cautions
should be taken to ensure long and trouble-free service from all
your surgical devices. Inspect devices before each use for
broken, cracked, tarnished surfaces, movement of hinges, and
chipped or worn parts. If any of these conditions appear, do not
use the device. Return devices to an authorized repair service
center for repair or replacement.
Before sterilizing, lubricate the device with instrument milk or a
steam permeable/ water soluble lubricant, following the
lubricant manufacturer's instructions.
Let devices drip dry for three (3) minutes before packaging for
sterilization.
Immediately proceed to recommended steam sterilization. Do
not store instrument prior to sterilization.
Packaging
Devices can be loaded into dedicated packaging systems.
Sterilization wrap material must be cleared for the applicable
sterilization modality by your country's regulatory body. Use in
accordance with packaging manufacturer's sterilization
instructions being sure to protect jaws and cutting edges from
damage.
Sterilization
All devices must be processed in the completely open position
(i.e. flushports, jaws, etc.) to allow sterilant contact of all
surfaces.
All devices with concave surfaces shall be configured so that
water pooling does not occur.
