Containment/Transportation
• Follow health care facility protocol for
safe containment and transport to the
decontamination environment.
• It is recommended that devices are cleaned
immediately after use.
Preparation for Cleaning
• Disassembly is required.
Disassembling Equipment
Remove the gel pads from
the unit by sliding off. Keep
all joints in the unlocked
position. Slide the adjust-
able headrest base until it
comes apart.
Cleaning – Manual Equipment: Water, Neutral pH
Detergent, Soft Bristle Brush, Towels
Method
1. Prepare neutral pH enzymatic detergent solution
(e.g. Endozime® AW Triple Plus with APA (Ruhof),
1:128 ratio) according to detergent manufacturer's
instructions using lukewarm tap water.
2. Prepare equipment for soaking by disassembling
removable parts and loosening connections.
3. Rinse equipment in warm water before placing
into bath.
4. Completely soak equipment in water/detergent
solution for 30 minutes maximum.
5. Clean thoroughly with a soft nylon bristle brush.
NOTE: If possible, use a disposable brush.
6. Rinse in warm purified water until all visible
substances and residual detergent are removed.
NOTE: Make sure to give special attention to
hard-to-reach areas.
7. Thoroughly dry equipment with soft clean towels
and use medically compressed air if needed, to
dry channels, crevices and lumens.
8. Inspect the equipment to make sure there is no
visible organic debris or residue from cleaning
agent.
Repeat process if any soil is detected.
Inspecting for Cleanliness
Inspect the teeth of the
starbursts and make sure
to inspect all joints. Pay
close attention to the
area around the locking
screw.
Drying
• Products should be dry at this point. If wetness
or excess liquid is detected, dry with a soft clean
towel.
• Medically compressed air can be used if needed.
Optional Automatic Wash / Disinfect
CAUTIONS
• Alkaline and highly acidic detergents and
solutions cause damage to the devices.
• Channels and crevices found on these devices
require particular attention during cleaning.
• Pay special attention to the water quality used
throughout reprocessing. Hard water can
damage the surface of the equipment. Avoid
using hard water. Instead use purified water
unless otherwise specified.
Limitations on Reprocessing
• Repeated processing has negative effects on
these devices and is not recommended for
routine use.
• It is important to have Integra NeuroSpecialists
perform routine inspections (twice yearly is
recommended).
