14.0 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

950-0036-02r0_fmt_en-US

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. Suitability of the cleaning agent for ultrasonic cleaning (no foam development). 2. 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,

950-0036-02r0_fmt_en-US

brush the devices for 2 minutes using a softbristled brush. Special attention should be given to lumens, joints, crevices, and other hard-toreach areas. Lumens should be brushed with appropriate diameter and length bristle sizes for the particular lumen. Actuate movable parts at least (5) times during soaking, as applicable. • After brushing, turn on ultrasonic power and soak and sonicate for 10 minutes at a minimum of 40±5 kHz. Ensure devices are in the open position and that lumens have complete contact with cleaning solution during soaking. • Remove the devices from the cleaning solution and rinse at least 1 minute with utility water. Thoroughly and aggressively rinse lumens, joints, crevices, and other hard-to-reach areas. • After the completion of preliminary cleaning, the end user has the option to perform either Manual Cleaning and Disinfection or Machine (Automated) Cleaning and Thermal Disinfection (preferred). 14.5 Manual Cleaning and Disinfection

950-0036-02r0_fmt_en-US

21 of 36

14.5.1 Following preliminary cleaning, the instructions for Manual Cleaning and Disinfection may be followed as an alternative cleaning method to Machine (Automatic) Cleaning and Thermal Disinfection. 14.5.2 After preliminary cleaning is complete, repeat steps 1-5 provided in the Preliminary Cleaning section of this DFU, including rinsing, immersion and sonication, and post-rinsing. Final rinsing should be completed with purified (critical, e.g. RO or DI) water. 14.5.3 Check devices for visible soil. Repeat cleaning if soil is visible and re-inspect. 14.5.4 Soak the devices for the given soaking time (provided by the disinfectant manufacturer) in disinfectant solution so that the devices are sufficiently covered. Make sure that there is no contact between the devices. Ensure that the device is in the open position during soaking. Actuate movable parts at least five times during disinfection, as applicable.

14.5.5 Remove the devices from the disinfectant solution and rinse per disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions. 14.5.6 Dry devices thoroughly utilizing filtered medical grade air or a soft, clean, and low-linting cloth. Proceed to Sterilization section. 14.6 Machine (Automatic) Cleaning and Thermal Disinfection Considerations for the selection of the washerdisinfector:

• Capable of providing an approved program for thermal disinfection (appropriate exposure time and temperature according to A0 concept) • Final rinse completed with purified (critical, e.g. RO or DI) water and utilizes only filtered air for drying

14.6.1 Load the Starfish in the washer-disinfector such that all design features are accessible to cleaning and such that design features that might retain liquid can drain (hinges should be open and cannulations/holes positioned to drain).

950-0036-02r0_fmt_en-US

16.0 Storage & Transport 16.1 Non-sterile devices should be stored in a clean, dry environment. The shelf life of non-sterile devices is not limited; the devices are manufactured from nondegradable material, which does not raise any question of device stability when stored under recommended conditions. It is the responsibility of the end-user to ensure devices, once sterilized, are stored in such a way as to maintain the sterility of the device until use. Sterile, packaged devices should be stored in a designated, limited access area that is well ventilated and provides protection from dust, moisture, insects, and temperature/humidity extremes. Sterile device packages should be carefully examined prior to opening to ensure that package integrity has not been compromised. Maintenance of sterile package integrity is generally event related. If a sterile wrap is torn, shows any evidence of tampering, or has been exposed to moisture, the device or set must be cleaned, repackaged, and sterilized.

950-0036-02r0_fmt_en-US

18.0 Special Precaution: Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Agents It is outside the scope of this document to describe in detail the precautions that should be taken for Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Agents. The agents for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) are believed to be resistant to normal processes of disinfection and sterilization and therefore the normal processing methods of decontamination and sterilization as described above may not be appropriate where CJD transmission is a risk. In general, the tissues that come into contact with orthopedic surgical instruments are those of low TSE infectivity. However, particular precautions should be taken when handling instruments that have been used on known, suspected, or atrisk patients.
