CLEANING, DISINFECTION AND
STERILIZATION
7.1
General Information
The measurement cable and the surface of the equipment should be
cleaned with a paper towel or soft cloth or wipe that has been wetted
with aldehyde-free disinfection and cleaning solution (bactericidal and
fungicidal).
The lip clip, the hook and the fork must be cleaned, disinfected and
sterilized before each use to prevent any contamination. This concerns
the first use as well as the subsequent uses. The only way to ensure
that these accessories are effectively sterilized is to thoroughly clean
and disinfect them. When doing this, follow the instructions set out in
this chapter.
When you use any of the other equipment that you have in your
practice, make sure you follow the directions for use for this equipment.
As part of your responsibility for ensuring that the accessories are
sterile, always make sure that only validated cleaning, disinfection and
sterilization methods are used, that the equipment (sterilizer) is
regularly maintained and inspected, and that the validated parameters
are adhered to each time.
In addition, ensure that you always comply with the applicable statutory
rules and regulations with regard to hygiene in your practice or clinic. In
particular, this applies to the directives on effective prion inactivation.
We accept no liability in the event that these instructions are
disregarded or processes that have not been validated are used to
prepare the accessories for reuse.
