Always use caution when inserting or removing instruments
through cannula. Lateral pressure on the instrument during
removal can damage the working tip, shaft of the instrument
and/or insulation. Be sure the tips are closed and the
instrument is pulled straight out until completely clear of
cannula to avoid catching the valve assemblies in cannulas or
dislodging the cannula.
Use only neutral pH (6-8) solutions.
Pre-processing Instructions
Initiate cleaning of device within 2 hours of use.
Transport devices via the institutions established transport
procedure.
Remove excess gross soil as soon as possible after use by
rinsing or wiping the device.
All devices must be processed in the completely open configuration
(i.e. flushports, jaws, etc.) to allow solution contact of all surfaces.
All flush ports shall remain in the fully open position.
When sterilizing or storing this device, always use the
protective/sterilizing sleeve provided. Failure to use the sleeve
may result in premature device failure. This device should never
be folded or bent to fit into a small sterilization tray.
Manual Cleaning
1. Ensure all pre-processing instructions are followed prior to
cleaning.
2. Prepare the enzymatic / neutral pH detergent solution,
utilizing tap water with a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C
(81°F to 111°F), per manufacturer's instructions.
3. Place device in the open/relaxed position, with flush port
open, and completely immerse in the detergent solution and
allow device to soak for a minimum of 5 minutes. Actuate
all movable parts during the initiation of the soak time.
4. Using a soft bristled brush, remove all visible soil from the
device. Actuate device while brushing, paying particular
attention to hinges, crevices and other difficult to clean
areas. Note: It is recommended that the detergent solution
is changed when it becomes grossly contaminated (bloody
and/or turbid).
5. Use a soft bristled brush with a brush diameter and length
that is equivalent to lumen diameter and length. Scrub the
lumen (i.e. angulated/nonangulated positions) until no
visible soil is detected in the lumen rinsing step below.
6. Place the device into the open/relaxed position with the
distal tip pointed down. Flush the device with a minimum of
50 ml of detergent solution utilizing a temperature range of
27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F), by using the flushing port
located on the handle/shaft. Repeat the flush process a
minimum of 2 times (i.e. total of 3 times), ensuring all fluid
exiting the lumen is clear of soil.
7. If visible soil is detected during the final lumen flush, re-
perform brushing and flushing of the lumen.
8. Rinse the device by completely immersing in tap water with
a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F), for a
minimum of 30 seconds to remove any residual detergent
or debris.
9. Following the rinsing step, place the device into the
open/relaxed position with the distal tip pointed down. Flush
the device with a minimum of 50 ml of tap water utilizing a
temperature range of 27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F), by
using the flushing port located on the handle/shaft. Repeat
the flush process a minimum of 2 times (i.e. total of 3 times).
10. Dry the device with a clean, lint-free towel.
