LIMITATIONS ON INSTRUMENT REUSE
Many of MicroAire's Instruments and Accessories are reusable; however, they have a limited life span. Prior to and after each use,
the instruments must be inspected where applicable for sharpness, wear, damage, proper cleaning, corrosion and integrity of the
connecting mechanisms. Particular care should be paid to rigid endoscope; these instruments are fragile and require special care.

2. Carefully detach the endoscope/camera from the

4. Loosen the blade lock screw. Pull up and hold the blade lock screw while pulling out the Disposable Blade Assembly.
5. Blade assembly should be properly disposed of in appropriate container. DO NOT re-sterilize the Blade Assembly – it is
designed for single use only.
2. PREPARATION FOR DECONTAMINATION
1. Excess tissue or debris should be wiped off to prevent it from drying onto the surface. Body fluids and tissue should not be
allowed to dry on instruments prior to cleaning.
2. Decontamination of reusable instruments or accessories should occur immediately after completion of the surgical procedure.
3. Blade assembly should be properly disposed of in appropriate container. DO NOT re-sterilize the Blade Assembly – it is
