Cleaning the Backfill Device, Downpack Device and
1
Charging Base
Preparation for the device cleaning:
• Carefully discard examination gloves, rinse and disinfect hands using
an appropriate hand disinfectant solution and use a new pair of
examination gloves.
• Remove the cartridge/heat plugger from the Backfill device/Downpack
device prior to cleaning.
• Follow standard precautions for personal protection using cleaning
agents/disinfectant solution as recommended by the manufacturer.
Clean and disinfect the elements™ IC obturation system immediately after
each patient use following the cleaning and disinfection steps to prevent
drying of soil and contaminants and to avoid the risk of cross-contamination
between patients.
Cleaning:
Clean all the surfaces with CaviWipes™ or a cloth lightly moistened with
other intermediate level disinfectant per manufacturer instructions.
Use a cotton swab and a small, soft brush moistened with CaviCide™ or
other intermediate level disinfectant to remove any soil that may have
accumulated in crevices (e.g. between Ring Switch and the body of the
device, between the LCD display and the body of the device). Wipe the
device with additional CaviWipes™ or cloths lightly moistened with
intermediate level disinfectant until no visible soil is detected on the
cloth. Visually inspect the device/charging base to assure cleanliness. If
any contamination is visible, repeat the cleaning steps. Use one more
CaviWipes™ or a cloth moistened with disinfectant to ensure that no residual
contaminants are left on the device.
Disinfection:
After performing the cleaning procedure above, complete disinfection of the
device by using a new CaviWipes™ or a cloth lightly moistened with other
intermediate level disinfectant. When using CaviWipes™, all device surfaces
should remain visibly wet for at least three minutes. For other intermediate
level disinfectant, refer to the disinfectant manufacturer's instructions
for recommended contact time. Use a clean cloth lightly moistened with
distilled water and wipe all device surfaces. Device is ready for reuse when
all surfaces are visibly dry.
Cleaning and Sterilization of the Heat Plugger
2
The heat plugger must be cleaned and sterilized after each use.
Cleaning:
Remove the heat plugger from the Downpack device. Clean with water and
mild, nonabrasive detergent such as dishwashing liquid using a soft bristled
brush until all visible soil is removed. Rinse with clean running water for a
minimum of 30 seconds.
Visually inspect for cleanliness and for any damage or contamination. If any
contamination is visible, repeat the cleaning steps until there
is no visible contamination. Dry with a clean, lint free cloth until there is no
visible moisture.
Sterilization:
Place the heat plugger in a sterilization pouch suitable for steam
sterilization. Sterilize the heat plugger using one of the cycles listed in
section 4 - Recommended Sterilization Parameters.
Cleaning and Sterilization of the Cartridge Needle
3
Bender
The Cartridge Needle Bender must be cleaned and sterilized after each use.
Cleaning:
Prepare an ultrasonic bath with an enzymatic cleaning solution at the
concentration and temperature specified by the manufacturer of the
enzymatic solution. Place Cartridge Needle Bender in the ultrasonic bath for
10 minutes. Remove the Cartridge Needle Bender from the bath and rinse
with clean running water for a minimum of 30 seconds. Visually inspect for
cleanliness and for any damage or contamination. If any contamination is
visible, repeat the cleaning steps until there is no visible contamination. Dry
with a clean, lint free cloth until there is no visible moisture.
Sterilization:
Place the Cartridge Needle Bender in a sterilization pouch suitable for steam
sterilization. Sterilize the Cartridge Needle Bender using one of the cycles
listed in section 4 - Recommended Sterilization Parameters.
