Reprocessing
Cleaning procedure
Perform the following cleaning procedure after use. If necessary, let the product cool down.
If cleaning is delayed, debris will solidify and it may be difficult to effectively clean the
surfaces.
1. Take a soft, lint-free cloth that is soaked with a suitable reprocessing agent.
2. Thoroughly wipe the surfaces of the electrosurgical generator until visibly clean.
3. In case of heavy soiling, use additional cloths.
4. Before disinfection, let the surfaces dry or wipe them dry using a lint-free cloth.
10.4 Disinfection
Suitable disinfectants
Low‑level disinfection efficacy has been validated with an alkaline disinfectant based on low
alcohol (<20%) and quaternary ammonium compounds (Sani-Cloth® Plus manufactured by
PDI Professional at 3 minutes contact time).
Inspecting before disinfection
1. Visually inspect the electrosurgical generator thoroughly after cleaning. The
electrosurgical generator must be visually clean.
2. If there are any signs of debris, repeat the cleaning process.
Disinfection procedure
1. Take a soft, lint-free cloth that is soaked with a suitable disinfectant.
2. Thoroughly wet the surfaces of the electrosurgical generator.
3. The surfaces must remain visibly wet for the contact time that is designated by the
disinfectant's manufacturer.
4. Use additional cloths to assure the designated continuous wet contact time.
5. Let the surfaces dry or wipe them dry using a lint-free cloth.
