Manual Cleaning/Disinfection; Mechanical Cleaning/Disinfecting; Steam Sterilization - B.Braun Aesculap CRANIOFIX 2 Mode D'emploi

Manual cleaning/disinfection

►
Prior to manual disinfecting, allow water to drip off for a sufficient length of time to prevent dilution of the dis-
infecting solution.
►
After manual cleaning/disinfection, check visible surfaces visually for residues.
►
Repeat the cleaning /disinfection process if necessary.

Inspection, maintenance and checks
Damage (metal seizure/friction corrosion) to the product caused by insufficient
lubrication!
►
Prior to function checks, lubricate moving parts (e.g. joints, pusher compo-
nents and threaded rods) at the marked lubrication points with maintenance
CAUTION
oil suitable for the respective sterilization process (e.g. for steam sterilization:
Aesculap STERILIT® I oil spray JG600 or STERILIT® I drip lubricator JG598), see
Fig. 2.
►
Allow the product to cool down to room temperature.
►
After each complete cleaning, disinfecting and drying cycle, check that the product is dry, clean, operational, and
free of damage (e.g. broken insulation or corroded, loose, bent, broken, cracked, worn, or fractured components).
►
Dry the product if it is wet or damp.
►
Repeat cleaning and disinfection of products that still show impurities or contamination.
►
Check that the product functions correctly.
►
Immediately put aside damaged or inoperative products and send them to Aesculap Technical Service, see Tech-
nical Service.
►
Check for compatibility with associated products.
Packaging
►
Store products with ratchet locks fully opened or locked no further than in the first notch.
►
Place the product in its holder or on a suitable tray. Ensure that all cutting edges are protected.
►
Pack trays appropriately for the intended sterilization process (e.g. in Aesculap sterile containers).
►
Ensure that the packaging provides sufficient protection against recontamination of the product during storage.

Steam sterilization

►
Check to ensure that the sterilizing agent will come into contact with all external and internal surfaces (e.g. by
opening any valves and faucets).
►
Validated sterilization process
– Steam sterilization using fractional vacuum process
– Steam sterilizer according to DIN EN 285 and validated according to DIN EN ISO 17665
– Sterilization using fractional vacuum process at 134 °C, minimum holding time 5 min
►
When sterilizing several products at the same time in a steam sterilizer, ensure that the maximum load capacity
of the steam sterilizer specified by the manufacturer is not exceeded.
