RECOMMENDED CLEANING & STERILIZATION STEPS:
Warning:
Prior to cleaning the clip applier instrument, make sure that the disposable cartridge is
removed and discarded. Microline PENTAX shall not be responsible for any damages
occurring as a result of a non-compliance with this warning.
Note:
The M/L-10 applier should be stored and reprocessed in a protective sterilization tray.
1. Keeping the instrument moist:
Immediately after surgical use, remove the shaft's outer tube. Immerse instruments in a tray,
basin or appropriate container of sterile distilled water. When the clip applier handpiece and its
outer tube are being transferred to Central Sterile Processing, they should be wrapped in a
moistened towel of distilled water.
2. Enzymatic soaking & ultrasonic wash:
The instrument and its outer tube should be immersed in an ultrasonic bath filled with a mixture
containing 60mL of ENZOL® Enzymatic Detergent per 4 L of water @ 22-40°C. This will aid in
the cleaning, flushing and removal of any debris. Sonicate device for 10 minutes.
3. Rinsing
After the soaking cycle, the clip applier and its outer tube should be removed from the enzyme
solution and rinsed with regular tap water.
4. Cleaning
Once thoroughly rinsed, the clip applier and its outer tube should be immersed in an approved
cleaning solution. The handle, shaft and rotation knob should be cleaned with a soft cloth or
sponge soaked in concentrated ENZOL® Enzymatic Detergent until no further bioload is observed
on brush or towel. The distal end of the instrument must be cleaned with a "soft bristle" brush to
avoid any damage.
5. Rinsing
Once the washing cycle is completed, the clip applier handpiece and its outer tube should be
rinsed in normal tap water, and then rinsed 3 times with deionized water. Wipe instrument with a
clean soft cloth.
6. Magnifying Lens Inspection
After the hospital cleaning procedure is completed, an inspection of the instrument should be done
to insure it is thoroughly cleaned.
7. Drying
Prior to wrapping instruments for storage, they must be completely dry. Any residual moisture
could result in oxidation and corrosion that could affect the performance, function, and useful life
of the instrument.
8. Lubricating
It is important, prior to sterilization, that a water-soluble lubricant is employed to preserve the
articulation and action of all movable parts of the instrument.
Re- Assembling
9. Re-assemble the outer tube on the instrument. To perform this, squeeze the handpiece trigger,
mount the outer tube over the clip applier shaft, and then secure it by screwing the tube knob
counterclockwise until fully threaded.
Note:
Your reprocessing protocol may require that the applier and the outer tube be reassembled after
the sterilization process.
