Ossur THOMAS SPLINT Instructions For Use

THOMAS SPLINT CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning can be achieved by either manual or automated methods - manual cleaning should only be undertaken
when automated methods are inappropriate or unavailable. Automated cleaning is a controlled process that will
allow more consistent results. Where available the use of mechanical cleaners such as washer-disinfectors and
ultrasonic tanks is preferred to the manual cleaning of items. The cleaning method should be assessed to ensure
the effectiveness of the cleaning process without damage to equipment.
