Warnings
• This device must be cleaned and sterilized prior to the first use and after every
subsequent use.
• Use only the sterilization cycles and configurations that were validated and are
outlined in this document. Using unspecified sterilization cycles can damage the
device or result in incomplete sterilization.
• It is required to remove the scope adapter from the cable to optimize the
cleaning and sterilization process. Reprocess the adapter according to
instructions in the SafeLight Scope Adapter user manual (P10238).
• Do not use synthetic detergents or oil-based soaps. These soaps can be absorbed
by the device and leach out, causing a tissue reaction.
• To avoid health risks from aerosol contamination, brush the device only when it
is submerged in liquid.
• Wear appropriate protective equipment: gloves, eye protection, etc.
Cautions
• Do not sterilize the device outside of the recommended parameters. Doing so
will cause irreversible product damage and will lead to premature replacement
of the device.
• Do not use brushes or pads with metal or abrasive tips during manual cleaning,
as permanent scoring or damage could result.
• When brushing, care should be taken around the cable tips to prevent damage
to the optical fibers, otherwise light transmission loss can occur.
• Do not sterilize in sterilization pouches when performing the Sterrad®
sterilization process. Doing so can result in damage to the device.
Limitations on Reprocessing
• Proper processing has a minimal effect on this device. End of life is normally
determined by wear and damage due to use.
• Do not cross-sterilize the device. Using multiple sterilization methods can
significantly reduce the performance of the device.
• Do not leave the device in solutions longer than necessary. This can accelerate
normal product aging.
• Repeated sterilization via Sterrad 100NX® can degrade the product's cosmetic
appearance.
• Damage incurred by improper processing will not be covered by the warranty.
