CAUTION:
Do not use metal or abrasive brushes, scrub pads, or rigid tools when cleaning
laparoscopes and light guide cables. The optical components can be scratched,
resulting in permanent damage.
Note:
Laparoscopes and light guide cables may contact human tissue and fluids during
clinical use. To avoid drying of blood, protein, and other substances on these
instruments, they should be prepared for cleaning within one hour after use.
Note:
Before pre-treatment and cleaning, remove any adapters from the laparoscope and
light guide cables (see Figure 48 and Figure 49).
