Loading ophthalmic instruments

For validation purposes please make sure that you follow the
loading instructions given on the template.
 Risk of injury caused by load.
There is a risk of injury when loading and unloading due to possible
sharp edges, rims or pointed ends.
To minimise the risk of injury, loading should take place from the
back forwards and unloading should take place in the reverse or-
der.
 The wash water used for reprocessing narrow lumen instru-
ments needs to be filtered. The injector manifold must be fitted with
tubular filter A 800. The tubular filter is supplied with its own fitting
instructions.
 Before connecting hollow instruments, please make sure that all
hollow sections and cannulae are free of blockages. Otherwise the
cleaning solution will not be able to access all areas properly.
The cannulae and other hollow instruments should be flushed
through with a spray of water as soon as possible after use on pa-
tients, preferably whilst still in the theatre. This is to prevent residual
blood or medication causing a blockage in the narrow lumen and
endangering internal cleaning.
 Risk of infection due to insufficient disinfection.
Load items that become detached from the irrigation connector
during reprocessing will not be sufficiently disinfected on the in-
side.
Any items that become detached from the irrigation connector dur-
ing reprocessing must be reprocessed again.
 Instruments must not touch each other during reprocessing.
Non-Miele mesh trays, cassettes and other containers can be used
for reprocessing instruments in Miele washer-disinfectors if they
have been risk assessed and specified as suitable for such use and
if reprocessing procedures have been successfully validated with
their use.
