Note The use of Betadine® and other related fluids containing iodine may stain
the surface of the stereotactic system. To minimize discoloration, wipe
off any traces of Betadine and similar solutions as soon as a possible
during or following the surgery.
Use the following guidelines when cleaning the Universal Compact Head Ring
(UCHR) components (head ring, posts, and screws):
Caution: Do not use saline, as it will attack the metal surface. Do not use
corrosive agents, such as Clorox® or Cidex®. Do not use alcohol or hydrogen
peroxide on any black composite materials.
After each procedure, clean components with de-ionized distilled water to
l
remove any residue of Betadine, blood, CSF or other debris.
Thoroughly dry and wrap components for sterilization.
l
Remove any liquids from components as soon as possible after surgery to prevent
l
corrosion or tarnishing of the surfaces.
The cleaning tap (TAP) may be used to remove debris from inside the head ring
l
post threads. Insert fully and remove the tap to cleanse the thread.
Pack the UCHR components into the sterilization trays after cleaning and before
sterilization.
Whenever virus–contact with the instrumentation is possible, proper sterilizing
measures must be followed. It is the responsibility of hospital personnel to review
sterilization procedures for susceptible components and to implement procedures
addressing such hazards.
Caution: Do not sterilize the localizer frame. Sterilization may damage the
component and render it inoperable.
