Stereotactic Mask System

Maintenance and Storage
Store the mask in a cool dry place, out of direct sunlight and away from open flames and
other sources of heat.
Do not heat the hardened mask above 40°C (104°F).
Mask Ring: Cleaning
It is recommended that the mask ring be periodically cleaned using a soft and dry cloth.
Stains may be removed using a slightly moistened cloth.
The mask ring should additionally be cleaned with an enzymatic cleaning agent (e.g., from Dr.
Weigert), followed by rinsing in doubly distilled and, preferably, sterile water following any
procedure or contact with biological substances.
Do not use sharp objects or rough materials to remove residue, especially near threaded
surfaces.
Once cleaned, the mask ring should be thoroughly air-dried, or dried using lint-free materials.
You may only use an enzymatic cleaning agent to clean the mask ring. You may not use an
alkaline cleaning agent or an ultrasonic cleaner to clean the mask ring.
Mask Ring: Disinfection and Sterilization
No sterilization or disinfection is ordinarily required.
Mask Set
The Stereotactic Mask Set is delivered non-sterile and is for single patient use only.
Do not use warm water (temperature 30°C (86°F) or higher), cleaning solutions, solvents or
ultrasonic cleaners to clean the Brainlab Mask Set.
The device must not be sterilized under any circumstances. Sterilization will destroy the
device.
