Disinfection
Due to the potential for residual chemicals to remain on the instrument and cause an adverse reaction, Bausch + Lomb does not recommend
the use of liquid chemical disinfectants or sterilants with instruments. See Automated Cleaning and Thermal Disinfection above for procedures
for thermal disinfection of instruments in an automated washer/disinfector.
Drying
Carefully dry the instrument with a lint-free surgical wipe or blow the instrument dry with micro-filtered forced air.
Maintenance, Inspection and Testing
Following cleaning, inspect the instrument to ensure that all visible soil has been removed and that the instrument operates as intended.
Packaging
Package the instrument in a suitable sterilization pouch, Central Supply Room (CSR) wrap or tray.
Sterilization
Unless otherwise indicated in the Directions for Use provided with the specific instrument, instruments and instrument trays may be sterilized
by the following moist heat (steam) sterilization methods:
• Pre-vacuum High Temperature Autoclave: 132°C (270°F) for 4 minutes; wrapped.
• Standard Gravity Autoclave: 121°C (250°F) for 30 minutes; wrapped.
• High Speed (Flash) Autoclave: 132°C (270°F) for 10 minutes; unwrapped but covered.
WARNING: Instruments processed in a wrapped instrument tray should be placed within the tray in a manner that allows steam to contact
all surfaces of the instrument. Do not pile instruments on top of each other as this may block steam penetration and condensate
drainage. Do not overload the tray. Heavily loaded instrument trays should be processed by high temperature pre-vacuum steam
sterilization.
WARNING: Flash (Immediate Use Steam) sterilization processing should be reserved for emergency reprocessing only and should not be
employed for routine processing of the instrument. Instruments processed by flash sterilization should be processed individually
or in trays specifically designed for use with flash sterilization. Flash sterilized items should be used immediately and not stored
for later use. See ANSI/AAMI ST79, current revision, and your institution's policies for restrictions regarding the use of flash
sterilization.
WARNING: Single-use instruments should not be reprocessed.
WARNING: The instrument and/or instrument tray should be processed through a complete sterilization drying cycle as residual moisture
from autoclaves can promote staining, discoloration, and rust.
WARNING: Although instruments have been validated to Type 121°C Gravity, 30 Minute Full Cycle, the user must ensure that if using a
sterilization tray, that instruments are not overloaded which could result in uneven dry times.
WARNING: Rigid Instrument Tip Protectors should only be sterilized five (5) times or less. Silicone Tubing Tip Protectors should never be
sterilized.
Storage
Following sterilization processing, packaged instruments may be stored in a clean area free of temperature and humidity extremes in
accordance with your institution's policies.
Refer to Fig. 4-Using cleaning adapter. Replace the plastic tip guard by pressing the back end first onto the knurled portion of the tip and
then carefully securing protective guard onto the tip.
