DISINFECTION
WARNING: Cervical cryosurgical probes are recommended to have high-level
disinfection between patients.
The tips can be disinfected by soaking in a cold disinfectant with cleaning plugs
installed and "O" rings in place. Clean tips before disinfecting. Follow CDC
guidelines for disinfection
Note: Limited well-designed studies available to base recommendations.
STERILIZATION
WARNING: Do not autoclave this instrument.
CAUTION: All cleaning and sterilization should only be done with cleaning
plugs and "O" rings in place on tips. Not using cleaning plugs will contribute
to unit malfunction.
COLD STERILIZATION
The tips can be sterilized by soaking in a cold sterilant with cleaning plugs
installed and "O" rings in place on tips. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines
for sterilization.

STERRAD STERILIZATION
Gas Plasma Processing (STERRAD Systems) can be utilized to process
instruments and medical devices when following manufacturer's instructions.
Sterrad methods have proven to be effective, low-temperature sterilization
processes, while being gentler than steam conditioning. Proceed per the
sterilizer manufacturer's recommended procedure.
EO STERILIZATION
Thoroughly clean and dry cryo tips prior to EO sterilization.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for operation and loading of sterilizer and
utilize a valid EO cycle.
