INTRODUCTION
EMS recommends compliance with cleaning, disinfection,
packaging for sterilization and sterilization procedures according
to ISO 17664.
Always report adverse events related to device reprocessing
directly to EMS.
Products must be cleaned, disinfected and, if applicable,
sterilized prior to first use. Do not reprocess the products over
the authorized number of sterilization cycles. To replace, refer
to the "Service life" section of these Instructions.
Users shall also observe any legal requirements applicable in their country as well as the hygiene regulations in effect
at the hospital or clinic.
This applies especially with regard to additional requirements for the inactivation of prions.
SERVICE LIFE
The products have been designed for a large number of
sterilization cycles. The materials used in their manufacture
were selected accordingly. However, with every renewed
preparation for use, thermal and chemical stresses will result
in ageing of the products.
