Care and Maintenance of Reusable Tube Set

Please comply with the following information when using a reusable tube set.

10.5.1 Cleaning the Reusable Tube Set

WARNING!
The reusable heating tube system consists of silicone, polysulfone (PSU), and
stainless steel. For cleaning and disinfection, use only pH-neutral or slightly al-
kaline cleaners (e.g., neodic MediClean 2.0 %), disinfectants (e.g., Lysetol V 8 %),
drying, and clear rinsing substances approved for the utilized materials.
If using unsuitable substances (e.g., the neodic clear rinsing agent MediKlar), the
tube system and especially the PSU connector points may become damaged.
The manufacturer has inspected and approved the reusable heating tube system
for a specific number of recycling cycles. Always comply with the instructions on
the label.
Never exceed the number of uses indicated by the manufacturer.
WARNING!
Use the tear-off tabs attached to the heating tube set to keep track of the num-
ber of sterilization cycles. The heating tube may not be sterilized after the last
tab has been removed.
Please check the reusable heating tube for signs of damage after sterilization
and before use. Never use a heating tube set that shows signs of damage, espe-
cially brittleness and perforation.
The reusable heating tube system should be reconditioned as soon as possible af-
ter use (recommended. max 30 minutes). In case of heavy contamination (blood,
tissue) it is recommended to remove these residues with a soft cloth while still at
the site of the surgery. This cloth may be moistened with a slightly alkaline clean-
er. The heated tube system is then transported, preferably in a dry basket, to the
actual reconditioning location where the complete process is carried out.
Preparing for cleaning at the reprocessing site:
Dismantle the tube set into its individual parts.
Use a soft cloth to carefully wipe off each component. Remove any remaining
blood and tissue residues. The cloth to be used may be moistened with a slightly
alkaline cleaner.
1. Automatic cleaning and disinfecting:
The cleaning and subsequent disinfection of the individual components of
the heating tube system can be carried out with the appropriate programma-
ble cleaning and disinfecting equipment for medical devices. The manufac-
turer has validated the applicability of this method in terms of hygiene
success and material compatibility using the "Vario" program of the disinfec-
tor manufactured by the company Miele.
Suitability of the cleaning device used in the context of automated cleaning
and disinfection, the selected program, and the used cleaning or disinfecting
agent, as well as a guarantee with respect to the attainable hygiene status
and material compatibility are the sole responsibility of the operator!
Individual automatic processing methods must be independently validated
by the operator.
2. Manual cleaning:
• Place the prepared individual components of the heating tube system in
demineralized water (room temperature, 20 °C to 30 °C) for a period of at
least 3 minutes to 5 minutes and then rinse them off under running water.
