4.2. STERILIZATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING
Resterilization: Do not resterilize and re-implant explanted ICDs.
"Use Before" Date: A "Use Before" date is printed on the outer
storage package and on the sterile package. Do not implant the device
after this date because the battery may have reduced longevity and
sterility may be affected. It should be returned to Sorin CRM.
If Package Is Damaged: Do not use the device or accessories if the
packaging is wet, punctured, opened or damaged because the
integrity of the sterile packaging may be compromised. Return the
device to the manufacturer.
Device Storage: Store the device in a clean area, away from
magnets, kits containing magnets, and sources of electromagnetic
interference to avoid device damage. Store the device between 0 -
50 °C (32 - 122 °F). Temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the device.
Equilibration: Allow the device to reach room temperature before
programming or implanting the device because rapid temperature
changes may affect initial device function.
