Stage I
Clean the product under running tap water, using
a suitable cleaning brush if necessary, until all
visible residues have been removed from the
surfaces.
Mobilize non-rigid components, such as set screws,
links, etc. during cleaning.
Make certain the product is positioned in such a
way that water will not enter the product e.g.
through coupling interfaces. (Immediately remove
any fluid that entered inadvertently.)
Use the special cleaning brush (TA011944) for
cleaning the cannulation of drill and reamer
attachments/Kirschner wire attachment GB643R.
To avoid the risk of corrosion, do not use a metal
brush or other abrasives that would damage the
surfaces for cleaning the product.
Clean difficult-to-access areas with soft round
plastic brushes of fitting diameter.
