Initial Treatment And Storage; Protocol For Cleaning / Disinfecting / Sterilizing / Storing The Turbine - MORIA CBm-ALTK CBSU Manuel Utilisateur

the equipment is used. All cleaning and disinfection products and solutions must be used in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
Moria recommends:
• Do not touch potentially contaminated zones.
• Use gloves during cleaning and decontamination operations.

9.2 INITIAL TREATMENT AND STORAGE

To avoid the risk of condensation inside packaging, close it and store the equipment in a clean dry
environment. Do not store instruments in an environment, or near other products, that could cause magnetic
effects or create corrosion. Avoid all contact between items of equipment.
The equipment must be damage and defect free.
Equipment that is fragile or requires special handling must be handled separately taking care not to damage
delicate parts.
For instructions on disinfecting, cleaning and sterilizing the ALTK artificial chamber, tonometer and flattening
lenses for the donor, see the user guide for the "ALTK Artificial Chamber for microkeratomes ONE & CBm-
ALTK".

9.3 PROTOCOL FOR CLEANING / DISINFECTING / STERILIZING / STORING THE TURBINE

The pneumatic turbine must be disconnected from the turbine supply hose and from the head.
It must be carefully cleaned, disinfected, dried and sterilized after every surgical procedure.
ACTIONS
1. Manual external cleaning
• After use, clean the outside of the turbine with a
lint-free cloth dampened with a cleaning solution (eg:
Alkazyme / Laboratoires Alkapharm) to remove any
®
residue.
2. Manual external disinfection
• After cleaning, dry every part of the turbine with a lint-
free cloth dampened with a disinfecting solution.
3. Lubrication then cleaning before sterilization
• Lubricate the handpiece using a KaVo spray only
and the appropriate nozzle before every autoclave
sterilization cycle. A single jet of KaVo spray is sufficient
to lubricate the turbine while avoiding excess lubricant
inside the turbine.
• Clean the turbine with a lint-free cloth then keep it
upside down for 20 minutes before the autoclave
sterilization to expel excess lubricant.
4. Sterilization
• Place the turbine and its hose in the dedicated
sterilization box.
• Sterilize the turbine in the autoclave (134°C – 273°F)
for 18 minutes.
Sterilization in USA only: sterilize with an autoclave
(steam sterilizer with a vacuum phase) at a minimum of
132°C for at least 4 minutes.
5. Storage
• Once this sterilization cycle is completed, remove the
handpiece as promptly as possible and store it upright
until it cools down and is dry.
• Once cooled down and dry, the handpiece can be
stored in an enclosed dry place.

WARNINGS / PRECAUTIONS
• Do not use abrasives or scrapers to clean items. It
could damage their usability.
• Do not immerse the turbine in any solution whatsoever,
including water.
• Cleaning is not disinfecting! Disinfection is a separate
step described in point 2.
• Use appropriate disinfection solutions in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not immerse the turbine in any solution whatsoever,
including water.
• Use the recommended spray. Do not use other
lubricant sprays, vaseline or grease.
• Shake the spray before using.
• Place the spray nozzle on the smallest hole of the
turbine and press once only.
• KaVo spray (ref 411-9630) is not sold by Moria. It can
be purchased from Kavo website (www.kavo.com).
• Remove the turbine from the sterilizer immediately after
the sterilization procedure.
• Never use the turbine immediately after sterilization. Let
it cool down to room temperature first.
• To avoid oxidation, make sure that the turbine is
perfectly dry before putting it in the storage box.
• While it is not being used, the CB turbine must be kept
in its storage box in a dry atmosphere (Photo L).
• Before use, check that the handpiece has no lubricant
on it. If it has, do not use it. Do not lubricate before use.
