Visual Inspection; Sterilization - Dräger Primus Infinity Empowered Instructions For Use Manual

Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization
NOTE
If the ventilator diaphragm is reprocessed to-
gether with light-colored, transparent silicone
components, discoloration of these silicone com-
ponents may occur.
Do not reprocess the specified components to-
gether.

Visual inspection

Check all items for damage and external signs of
wear, such as cracking, embrittlement, or pro-
nounced hardening, and residual dirt.
CAUTION
Risk of faulty components
Even accessories designed to be reused and re-
movable device parts have a limited service life.
Handling and reprocessing can increase wear
and markedly shorten service life (e.g., disinfect-
ant residues can attack the material more in-
tensely during autoclaving).
If signs of wear become visible, such as cracks,
deformation, discoloration, peeling, etc., affected
accessories must be replaced.

Sterilization

Sterilization frees semicritical medical devices from
living microorganisms and dries residual water in
the items' interior spaces.
Only sterilize cleaned and disinfected items.
For sterilization, use a vacuum steam sterilizer (in
accordance with DIN EN 285), preferably with frac-
tionated vacuum.
