la from the insufflation cannula with stopcock open).
2. Wash the parts carefully under running cold and warm water.
3. Clean the inner chamber of the Veress cannula with a cleaning pistol.
4. For disinfection, open the stopcock at the Veress cannula.

12.5.2 Disinfecting the Reusable Tube Set

WARNING!
Disinfection of the tube and instruments is insufficient to achieve a sterility of
SAL 10-6. Further sterilization is absolutely required after the disinfecting pro-
cess.
CAUTION!
Do not place the plug of the reusable gas heating tube into the disinfectant so-
lution. Should this happen once, ensure that the plug is thoroughly dried prior to
sterilization.
1. Only a thoroughly cleaned tube set may be disinfected.
2. Place all tube set components into a disinfectant. The concentration and the
application duration of the disinfectant depends on the information provided
by the manufacturer of the disinfectant. The tube set can be damaged if the
concentration is too high.
WARNING!
Do not leave tube set or other silicone parts in the solution for more than
30 minutes. Silicon absorbs various disinfectants and thus can be damaged when
sterilized with steam.
3. Place the individual parts into the disinfection solution. Do not stack parts.
4. Remove the parts from the solution using forceps with a soft edge.
5. Remaining disinfection solution should be rinsed off with sterile water under
sterile conditions.
6. Dry all parts with a sterile cloth and wrap each part in a separate sterile cloth.
7. Assemble all components before sterilization.
8. Place the tube set in a sterile container if stored for a longer period of time.

12.5.3 Sterilization of Reusable Tube Set

The maximum number of sterilization cycles for the tube set is determined by the
manufacturer (see tube packaging). Never exceed the number of uses indicated
by the manufacturer.
WARNING!
Use the tear-off tabs attached to the tube set to keep track of the number of ster-
ilization cycles. The tube set may not be sterilized after the last tab has been re-
moved.
WARNING!
Always check the reusable tube set for signs of deterioration before use and after
sterilization. Never use a tube set which shows signs of deterioration, including
