5 Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilization
Possible danger to life of the patient as a result of non-disinfected handling!
All products, including non-sterile products, must be cleaned and disinfected before each use.
• The operator/preparer is responsible for the cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing of the used products. It
is essential that national regulations, including restrictions, be observed.
5.1
Limitations and Restrictions to Cleaning, Disinfecting and Sterilizing
The product lifetime is primarily determined by wear and possible tear during use.
A general statement with respect to a maximum of cycles is therefore not possible.
5.2
Pre-Treatment at the Application Location prior to Cleaning
Conduct the cleaning and disinfecting of contaminated products as soon as possible after use.
5.3
Preparation before Cleaning
Possible danger to life due to electric shock!
Before cleaning, disconnect the charging unit from the headlight and power supply and power off
completely.
When choosing a cleaning detergent, the compatibility with the material as well as the suitability for and
the efficiency in the cleaning of medical devices must be considered.
The manufacturer's instructions for the cleaning or combined cleaning and disinfecting agent regarding
concentrations, temperature, and application time must be observed.
