The diagnostic instruments together with their handles can be cleaned on the
outside using a damp cloth (if necessary, moistened with alcohol) until they are
visually clean. Wipe with disinfectant (e.g. disinfectant Bacillol AF from Bode
Chemie GmbH (time 30s)) only according to the instructions of use of the res-
pective manufacturer of disinfectant. Only disinfectants with proven effective-
ness according to national guidelines should be used. After disinfecting, wipe
the instruments with a damp cloth to remove potential residue.
Please make sure that the cloth is moistened but NOT saturated, so that no
moisture penetrates the openings in the diagnostic instrument or its handle.
Make sure that glass and lenses are only cleaned with a dry and clean cloth.
CAUTION!
The diagnostic instruments are not sterile devices; they cannot be sterilized.
CAUTION!
Never immerse the instrument heads and handles in liquids!
Make sure that no liquids penetrate the housing interior! The item is not appro-
ved for machine reprocessing and sterilisation. This can lead to irreparable
damage!
If a reusable device shows signs of material deterioration, it should no longer be
reused and should be disposed of/claimed according to the procedures descri-
bed in the Disposal/Warranty sections
17.3. Processing of reusable ear specula
Cleaning: manual
Required equipment: mildly alkaline cleaner (e.g. neodisher Mediclean, Dr. Wei-
gert 404333 has been validated) 15°C-50°C, cleaning brush (Interlock 09098 and
09050 have been validated), tap water/running water 20±2°C of at least drinking
water quality, tub/basin for cleaning agent, lint-free cloths (Braun Wipes Eco
19726 have been validated).
1. The cleaning solution is produced according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for the cleaning agent (neodisher Mediclean 0.5% has been validated).
2. Completely immerse the medical devices in the cleaning solution.
3. Make sure that all surfaces are completely wetted with cleaning solution.
4. Carry out all subsequent steps below the liquid level to prevent the contami-
nated liquid from splashing.
5. Brush the hard-to-reach areas of the immersed ear specula with a soft brush
during the exposure time. Pay attention to the critical, hard-to-reach places
where a visual assessment of the cleaning effect is not possible.
6. The total exposure time in the cleaning solution is at least 10 minutes (10
minutes has been validated).
7. Remove the medical devices from the cleaning solution.
8. Rinse the medical devices under running tap water (at least drinking water
quality) for at least 1 minute (1 minute has been validated) to completely re-
move any supernatant or residual cleaning solution. Check that the device is
clean; if soiling is visible, repeat the above steps.
9. Dry with a lint-free cloth.
Disinfection: manual
Required equipment: Disinfectant (e.g. CIDEX OPA, Johnson & Johnson 20391
has been validated), demineralised water (demineralised water free of facultati-
ve pathogenic microorganisms according to the KRINKO/BfArM recommenda-
tion) 20±2°C, sterile, lint-free cloths.
1. Prepare the disinfectant solution according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions (CIDEX OPA is a ready-to-use solution; the concentration must be che-
cked using test strips, see manufacturer's instructions) (CIDEX OPA has been
validated).
2. Completely immerse the ear specula in the disinfectant solution.
3. Exposure time of the disinfectant solution according to the manufacturer's
instructions for high-level disinfection (CIDEX OPA for 12 minutes has been
validated).
4. Remove the ear specula from the disinfectant solution and place them in a
tub/basin containing demineralised water for at least 1 minute (1 minute has
been validated).
5. Repeat the step twice with fresh demineralised water.
6. Place the ear specula on a clean, dry cloth and allow to dry.
