7.1 Manual Cleaning
Clean, inspect and test the device carefully. A good cleaning and maintenance procedure will ex-
tend the useful life of the device. Cleaning and rinsing must take place immediately after each use
for best effect. Failure to clean promptly may result in adherent particles or dried secretions that
mayresistcleaningandcomplicateorresistfuturecleaning.Donotuseaxatingdetergentorhot

reprocessing process. Devices must be completely cleaned and rinsed of all foreign matter.
Storage and transport of the device to the reprocessing location must be ensured in a sealed con-
tainer to avoid any damage to the device and any contamination of the environment.
All reusable components of the device described in Section Product Description, can be cleaned
bymildlyalkalinecleanersafeforalltypesofsurgicalgradestainlesssteel,aluminum,Teon(Po-
lytetrauoroethylene)andhighperformancepolymermaterialsorwithamanufacturer‘sapproved

materials (like 0,5% neodisher MediClean, Dr. Weigert).
Disassemble all components as described in Sections Mounting and Maintenance. Remove gross
soil by using paper wipes. Prepare the cleaning solution (like 0,5% neodisher MediClean, Dr. Wei-
gert) per the cleaning solution manufacturer’s instructions. Soak soiled instruments for 5 minutes.
Use a soft nylon bristle brush to scrub all exposed surfaces thoroughly under running tap water
until all traces of blood and debris are visually removed. Take extra care around threads, lumens,
crevices, seams and any hard to reach areas. If the device has sliding mechanisms or hinged joints,
actuate the area to free any trapped blood and debris. Brush delicate features of the instruments

pressure of at least 4.2 bar.
Rinse each component thoroughly under warm running tap water until all visible traces of detergent
are removed. Rinse all lumens, internal areas, sliding mechanisms, and hinged joints, actuating
sliding mechanisms and hinged joints while rinsing.
We recommend manual cleaning of the device. An automated cleaning procedure may be used
secondary, but is not required or recommended for routine reprocessing. Repeated automated
reprocessing has negative effects on these device.
Manual Cleaning as described above must be followed by a disinfection procedure.
