Reprocessing
These reprocessing instructions are provided in accordance
with ISO 17664, AAMI TIR12, AAMI ST79, and AAMI ST81.
While they have been validated by Stryker as being capable
of preparing the device for re-use, it remains the responsibility
of the processor to ensure that the reprocessing as actually
performed, using equipment, materials, and personnel
in the reprocessing facility, achieves the desired result.
This normally requires validation and routine monitoring
of the process. Stryker recommends users observe these
standards when reprocessing medical devices.
Warnings
• This device must be cleaned and sterilized prior to the
first use and after every subsequent use.
• Use only the sterilization cycles outlined in this
document. Using unspecified sterilization cycles may
damage the device or result in incomplete sterilization.
• Separate the camera head, coupler, and scope prior
to cleaning, disinfection, or sterilization. If the coupler
and camera head are cleaned, disinfected, or sterilized
as a single unit, disconnecting the coupler during
use will compromise the sterility of the two products.
(Refer to the camera head and scope product manuals
for reprocessing instructions.)
• Wear appropriate protective equipment:
gloves, eye protection, etc.
Cautions
• Do not use brushes or pads with metal or abrasive
tips during manual cleaning, as permanent scoring
or damage could result.
• The Zoom Coupler is not autoclavable. Steam sterilizing
couplers that are not marked
product damage.
• To minimize galvanic corrosion, avoid soaking dissimilar
metals in close proximity.
Limitations on Reprocessing
• Do not cross-sterilize the device. Using multiple
sterilization methods may significantly reduce the
performance of the device.
• Prolonged sterilization via Ethylene Oxide or
Sterrad® 100NX™ may degrade the product appearance.
• Do not leave the device in solutions longer than
necessary. This may accelerate normal product aging.
• Damage incurred by improper processing will not be
covered by the warranty.
