Cleaning-Disinfection-Sterilization-Storage Of The Suction Rings - MORIA One Use-Plus Manuel Utilisateur

9.4 CLEANING-DISINFECTION-STERILIZATION-STORAGE OF THE SUCTION RINGS

This protocol has been approved by the French National Ophthalmological Hospital (CHNO), XV/XX (Paris,
France), Hygiene/Sterilisation Department (Dr Patrice RAT).
Steps What to do
1 Double cleaning
• On leaving the operating theatre, immediately
immerse the devices in an aldehyde-free
detergent/disinfectant solution (e.g.: Alkazyme® /
Alkapharm Laboratories) for at least 15 minutes
according to manufacturer recommendations.
• Manual cleaning (or use a machine, provided that
it does not recycle the cleaning products, after
disassembling the device where appropriate).
• Rinse the circuit with water.
• Immerse the device in an aldehyde-free detergent/
disinfectant solution (a different bath from the one
above).
• Manual cleaning (or use a machine, provided that
it does not recycle the cleaning products).
• Rinse using filtered distilled or osmosis-treated
water.
• Wipe the device using a non-woven, lint-free,
disposable cloth.
2 Deactivation of NCTAs (Non-Conventional
Transmitted Agents)
• On leaving the operating theatre, immediately
immerse the devices in an aldehyde-free
detergent/disinfectant solution, preferably
enzymatic (e.g.: Alkazyme® / Alkapharm
Laboratories) for at least 15 minutes according to
manufacturer recommendations, and then rinse
the devices.
• Cleaning, disinfectant and rinsing fluids must
be stored in sealed containers and disposed
of by appropriate procedures for contaminated
biological liquid waste.
• Immerse the device in a soda solution (1 N) for
one hour.
• Rinse the device manually three times (using
water from the network), and check the pH when
performing the last rinse to prevent any risk of
burns (neutral pH). The last rinse must be carried
out using microbiologically tested water.
• Wipe the device using a non-woven, lint-free,
disposable cloth, and reinstall the device in the
normal disinfection/sterilization circuit.
3 Sterilization
Sterilize the sterilization tray using an autoclave
(moist heat sterilizer) at a temperature of at least
134°C for 18 minutes.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS
• Manual cleaning: mechanical cleaning of the
medical device using soft brushes (metal brushes
and scouring pads are prohibited).
• IMPORTANT: Change the baths after each use.
• Incompatibility:
o Do not use bleach
o Do not apply this protocol to products made
of aluminium alloy.
o Do not apply this protocol to heat-sensitive
(motor and turbine).
• Deactivation of NCTAs: for patients with a
risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease only – CJD
questionnaire (see the Ministry's guide, dated
November 05)
• Note: If the pH is not neutral, perform further
rinses until an acceptable pH is reached (close to
pH7).
