Reusable Patient Cables
Prior to opening, the package of a sterile cable must be
inspected for damage to determine whether sterility has
been compromised.
Cleaning
The reusable patient cables can be cleaned and disinfected
with hospital cleaning agents following many different
methods. However, aggressive chemicals (such as acetone)
may never be used.
The use of a wiping cloth with regular, alcohol-free hand soap
or the cleaning agent Stabimed by Braun is the recom-
mended cleaning method for the cables. Subsequently, the
cables must be cleaned from cleaning agent residue with
electrolyte-free water and then wiped with a clean, dry cloth.
Disinfection
For disinfection in a disinfectant bath, an aldehyde-based
(e.g. Lysoformin 3000) or alcohol-based (e. g. Aerodesin 2000)
disinfectant agent must be used in accordance with the
manufacturer information and in accordance to the respec-
tive hospital guidelines.
After disinfection, the cable must be cleaned from residues of
the disinfectant by rinsing it in electrolyte-free water.
Sterilization
All patient cables can be sterilized as follows unless other-
wise stated in the patient cables' documents:

test.
Visual inspection:
•

•
Steam sterilization at 121 °C and 1.1 bar for 20 min.
Steam sterilization at 134 °C and 3.0 bar for 18 min.
