Disinfecting the CODMAN CERTAS Tool Kit

After use, wipe the areas of the tools that contact the
patient with a combination wipe (Quaternary Ammonium/
Isopropyl Alcohol). Follow Steps 1 through 4 below.
1. Thoroughly wet the surfaces with a wipe.
2. Keep the surfaces wet for 2 minutes. Use as many
wipes as needed to keep the surfaces wet for the
entire 2 minutes.
3. Allow the wetted surfaces to air dry.
4. Inspect the components to ensure that all soil, blood,
or debris has been removed. If needed, repeat Steps 1
through 3 and inspect again.
Visually inspect all parts after disinfection to ensure
markings remain. Do not use the Tool Kit components if
markings are compromised. Contact your local Codman
sales representative for a replacement kit.

How Supplied

The valve and its accessories are for SINGLE USE
ONLY; DO NOT RESTERILIZE. Codman Neuro single
use devices have not been designed to undergo or
withstand any form of alteration, such as disassembly,
cleaning, or re-sterilization, after a single patient use.
These devices are intended to come into contact
with the central nervous system and the ability does
not currently exist to destroy possible contaminates,
such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Reuse might also
compromise device performance and any usage beyond
the design intent of this single use device might result in
unpredictable use hazards or loss of functionality.
Codman Neuro will not be responsible for product that is
re-sterilized, nor accept for credit or exchange product
that has been opened but not used.
As long as the inner unit of the valve package is not
opened or damaged, the product is sterile.
Testing has shown that the following components
are nonpyrogenic:
