Care and Cleaning Care Before initial use, make sure to reprocess the product according to the instructions given in the following pages. Manual Cleaning Clean, inspect and test the device carefully. A good cleaning and main- tenance procedure will extend the useful life of the device. Cleaning and rinsing must take place immediately after each use for best effect.
Care and Cleaning and any hard to reach areas. If the device has sliding mechanisms or hinged joints, actuate the area to free any trapped blood and debris. Brush delicate features of the instruments with care to avoid bending or breaking of such features. Using a syringe filled with cold tap water, flush internal areas that cannot be accessed with a brush for at least 20 seconds with a static water pressure of at least 4.2 bar.
Page 33
Care and Cleaning Dry immediately after final rinse. Use the drying cycle of the washer/ disinfector and – if required – a clean lint-free cloth for drying. Dry internal areas with filtered compressed air, if available. Inspect each component for remaining debris; if any are present, repeat the cleaning procedure using fresh detergent.
Care and Cleaning Lubrication Lubrication according to the subsequent lubrication drawing should be done after every wash. Failure to lubricate the Headrest System and Re- tractor System as recommended will result in a greatly reduced lifetime of the equipment. You can lubricate with any medical grade lubricant. Warning: Failure to proper lubricate as instructed will increase friction between the moving parts of the device, which may damage them.
