Medical device lifecycle
If used in a proper manner, all medical device parts have a two-
year lifecycle (corresponding to 250 sterilizaon cycles).
However, these indicaons are not a warranty because wear may
appear prematurely, depending on how the device is maintained
(cleaning and sterilizaon).
VI. HYGIENE AND MAINTENANCE
The re-sterilizaon of reusable medical devices must be
performed by a properly trained and protected member of sta,
in accordance with the regulaons currently in force.
The re-sterilizaon protocol must take into account the risk of
infecon.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instrucons for each product used.
Take parcular care to adhere to the instrucons regarding
concentraons, lengths of exposure, the replacement of
soluons, and the lifespan of the products. Never combine
products. Adhere to the guidelines regarding the disposal of
used products.
rWear suitable protecve clothing.
In order to avoid any risk of infecon and injury, it is vital to
wear protecve gloves.
E
Never immerse the torque wrench in any kind of soluon.
Never clean the torque wrench in an ultrasonic tank.
6.1. Cleaning
The device must be cleaned immediatly aer the operaon.
Use only detergent or disinfectant soluons with a neutral or
slightly alkaline pH. It is extremely unadvisable to use products
which may x proteins to the unit (eg.alcohol, aldehydes...).
EDo not use sodium hypochlorite (bleach): there is a high
risk of corrosion.
External cleaning
The torque wrench can be cleaned by using a brush under tap
water. External disinfecon can be done using a spray or a wipe
soaked with microbicidal disinfectant products (pH between
2.5-9).
In any case, it is important to follow the reacon me of the
disinfectant product used.
EDo not use disinfectant containing alkaline and chlorine.
Do not immerse the torque wrench in a disinfectant
soluon or in an ultrasound container.
6.2. Lubricaon
This should be done before using for the rst me, and before
each sterilizaon.
EKeep away from any source of heat or ignion.
In parcular, do not smoke!
Wear a protecve face mask.
- Place a turbine-type nozzle (P/N 1933X) on the spray can.
- Place the spray can nozzle into the opening located on the
backside of the torque wrench.
- Maintain the spray can nozzle against the torque wrench unl
the pressure drops again. Vaporize 1 to 2 seconds. The oil
passes over the enre instrument, acng as a cleanser and a
lubricant. Prior to each sterilizaon, lubricaon is to be carried
out using a spray can.
Spray Apply pressure to obtain ghtness
6.3. Sterilizaon
EgWe strongly recommend the use of a class B sterilizer.
Any other method of sterilizaon should be avoided.
DRead the instrucon leaet provided by the sterilizer
manufacturer. Adhere to the space specied between pouches
and do not overload the sterilizer.
