Reprocessing And Maintenance - Stryker 1488 Manual

Reprocessing and Maintenance

These reprocessing instructions are provided in accordance with ISO 17664,
AAMI TIR12, AAMI ST79, and AAMI ST81. While they have been validated by
Stryker as being capable of preparing the device for re-use, it remains the
responsibility of the processor to ensure that the reprocessing as actually
performed, using equipment, materials, and personnel in the reprocessing
facility, achieves the desired result. This normally requires validation and
routine monitoring of the process. Stryker recommends users observe these
standards when reprocessing medical devices.
Warnings
