Prior to cleaning, disassemble components. Remove
the Gel Pads from the Horseshoe Faceplates. For
each Gel Pad, pull tab C over the top edge of the
Faceplate arm (refer to Figure 5) and then slide the
Gel Pad toward the end of the Faceplate arm until
tabs A and B have cleared the end of the arm.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to pull the Gel Pads away
from the Faceplate arms. Damage to the Gel Pads
may occur.
The MAYFIELD Pediatric 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.
CAUTION:
Do not use an alcohol solution on the Gel
Pads, immerse the Gel Pads in liquid, or expose the
Gel Pads to heat via steam sterilization or any other
means.
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.
