Visual Inspection; Sterilization; Reprocessing And Disinfection - Dräger Fabius plus Instructions For Use Manual

Cleaning
Disinfecting components or accessories
Disinfect parts by immersing.
Sufficiently rinse parts under running water until
no disinfectant residues can be recognized.
Inspect parts for visible soiling and damage.
Repeat manual disinfection if necessary.
Shake out remaining water thoroughly. Allow
parts to dry thoroughly.

Visual inspection

Inspect all parts for damage and wear, e.g., cra-
cking, embrittlement or pronounced hardening
and residual soiling.
CAUTION
Even accessories designed to be reused (e.g.
after reprocessing) have a limited service life. Due
to a number of factors connected with handling
and reprocessing (e.g.disinfectant residues can
attack the material more intensely during
auto-claving), increased wear can occur and the
service life can be markedly shortened. These
parts must be replaced if signs of wear become
visible, such as cracks, deformation, discolora-
tion, peeling, etc.

Sterilization

Use a vacuum steam sterilizer (in accordance with
DIN EN 285), preferably with fractional vacuum, for
sterilization.
CAUTION
Do not sterilize parts in ethylene oxide! Ethylene
oxide may diffuse into the parts and cause
damage to health.
CAUTION
The Spirolog Flow Sensor and the Infinity ID Flow
Sensor must not be sterilized in hot steam. The
flow sensors are not resistant to high temperatu-
res and may be damaged.
Hot steam sterilization can be carried out at
134 ° C (273.2 ° F). Observe Instructions for
Use of medical device.
