Remove the Gel Pads from the Horseshoe Faceplates. For
each Gel Pad, pull tab C over the top edge of the Faceplate

Pads to heat via steam sterilization or any other means.
Cleaning and Sterilization of Headrest
After each use, thoroughly clean and wipe Headrest with
an antiseptic solution.
The MAYFIELD Horseshoe Headrest should be thoroughly
cleaned after each use. Clean all components, including
the Gel Pads, with a neutral pH detergent. A soft
brush can be used if necessary. Clean all components
thoroughly to prevent traces of blood or debris from
interfering with proper function of the device.
Rinse thoroughly with de-ionized or sterile water to
remove any residual detergent.
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.
