Service Notes; Cleaning And Sterilization; Manual Wash - Integra MAYFIELD A1059 Instruction Manual

CAUTION:
Before fully tightening, always be certain
that the sunburst teeth of the Swivel
Adaptor and the Transitional Member
fittings are the same size and mesh properly. Failure
to do so may damage fittings. (Figure 4 shows typical
sunburst connection and proper meshing of teeth).

Service Notes

1. A routine check made well before each case will
help avoid problems. The check should include
the following:
Check the plunger locking the ratchet arm in place
for movement as follows:
a. Remove the ratchet arm and hold the body with
the release mechanism pointed toward the floor.
b. Apply pressure upward while looking for
movement. If the release mechanism moves
1.6mm or more, the unit should be returned for
service.
2. While rotating the rocker arm 360 degrees lock
and unlock the index knob. To ensure proper
locking engagement, the knob must always turn
a minimum of 60 degrees. If it does not lock,
a slight additional rotation of the rocker arm
should allow the locking mechanism to engage.
If difficulties are encountered, the unit should be
returned for service.
3. With the skull pin removed from the 80 psi
torque screw, apply as much force as possible
over the hole and check for movement of the
index shaft. If rubber protrudes from around the
shaft, the unit should be returned for service.

Cleaning and Sterilization

Manual Wash

CAUTIONS
• Alkaline and highly acidic detergents and
solutions cause damage to the devices.
• Channels and crevices found on this device
require particular attention during cleaning.
• Pay special attention to the water quality used
throughout reprocessing. Hard water can damage
the surface of the equipment. Avoid using
hard water. Instead use purified water unless
otherwise specified.
Limitations on reprocessing
• Repeated processing has minimal effects on these
devices. Product life is normally determined by
wear and damage due to use.
• It is important to have Integra NeuroSpecialists
perform routine inspections (twice yearly is
recommended). See contact information below.
