Operation
12.1
(AR-3370-0006 Starfish only) When using the Starfish attachment in conjunction with a camera head, allow the camera head’s scope mount to spring closed around the scope automatically. Do not manually adjust the tightness of the scope mount.
12.2
During use, press the Thumb Tabs to rotate the scope.
12.3
Prepare the Starfish for reprocessing immediately after use to prevent surface damage.
13.0
Reprocessing Limitations
Repeated processing has minimal effect on the Starfish. End of life is normally determined by wear and damage due to intended use.

Cleaning and Disinfection
Devices must be adequately cleaned and sterilized prior to use or re-use. All devices are to be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized prior to each application; this is required as well for the first use after delivery of the unsterile devices. Effective cleaning is an indispensable requirement for effective sterilization of the devices. CAUTION: If the Starfish is cracked or damaged, properly dispose of the device. 14.1
Point-of-Use Preparation, Containment, and Transportation 14.1.1 It is recommended that devices are reprocessed within a maximum of 2 hours of use. At point of use, soiled devices must be removed from trays and moistened to prevent debris from drying before transportation to the reprocessing area for cleaning procedures. Soaking in enzyme solutions facilitates cleaning, especially in devices with complex features and hard-to-reach areas (lumens, etc.). These enzyme solutions as well as enzymatic foam sprays break down

protein matter and prevent blood and proteinbased materials from drying on devices. Manufacturer’s instructions for preparation and use of these solutions should be explicitly followed. Devices should be contained and transported in a closed, puncture-proof device to ensure safety. 14.2
Detergent Selection Consider the following points during selection of the cleaning detergent: 1. 2.
Suitability of the cleaning agent for ultrasonic cleaning (no foam development). Compatibility of the cleaning agent with the devices. Arthrex recommends the use of neutral pH or enzymatic cleaning agents. Alkaline agents may be used to clean devices in countries where required by law or local ordinance, or where prion diseases such as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) or Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (CJD) are a concern (applies only outside of the US). Arthrex does not recommend the use of a specific brand of cleaning agent.

Enzol® and neodisher® MediClean forte were utilized during the validation of these instructions. Caution: Low acid or alkaline solutions are not recommended, as they corrode metal parts and compromise plastics. 14.3
Follow the instructions of the detergent manufacturer regarding use concentration and temperature for either manual or automated cleaning. Please use only freshly prepared solutions as well as only purified (critical, e.g. RO or DI) water for final rinse.
14.4
Preliminary Cleaning •
•
•
Remove excess soil from devices, especially in areas such as joints and crevices, by cleaning the surfaces with a sponge or brush under cold running water or with a non-shedding disposable wipe for a minimum of 1 minute. Rinse the devices at least 1 minute under running utility water (temperature < 35°C/95°F). Special attention should be given to lumens, joint, crevices, and other hard-to-reach areas. Immerse the devices in cleaning solution inside an ultrasonic bath. While immersed in solution,
