Lubrication - CareFusion Snowden-Pencer Instructions D'utilisation

When disposing of or returning insert assemblies, products
may be a potential biohazard. Handle and dispose of in
accordance with accepted medical practice and all applicable
local, state, federal, or country laws and regulations.

Lubrication

• Before sterilizing, lubricate the insert assembly with
instrument milk or a steam permeable/water soluble
lubricant. A proper lubricant will leave a thin film and help
the insert assembly move smoothly during use and maintain
functionality over the lifetime of the insert assembly.
• Insert assemblies can be lubricated in either the assembled
or disassembled configuration. If the insert assemblies are
to be lubricated in the assembled configuration, perform
the steps listed in the assembly instructions below before
proceeding with lubrication.
• Apply lubricant according to the lubricant manufacturer's
instructions.
• Lubricant may be applied by an automatic cleaner if the
cleaner has an option to apply lubricant after the final rinse.
• Let insert assemblies drip dry for three minutes before
packaging for sterilization.
• Immediately proceed to recommended steam sterilization.
Do not store insert assembly prior to sterilization.
