Indications for Use Thora-Port Cannulas include a blunt obturator for insertion and maneuverability of instruments and endoscopes.

How Supplied Snowden-Pencer devices are packaged as non-sterile. Cleaning and sterilization must occur prior to use.

Limitations on Reprocessing Repeated reprocessing has minimal effect on these devices. End of life is normally determined by wear and damage due to use.

Warnings Devices shall be used in accordance with these instructions for use. Read all sections of this insert prior to use. Improper use of this device may cause serious injury. In addition, improper care and maintenance of the device may render the device non-sterile prior to patient use and cause a serious injury to the patient or health care provider.

Cautions If there are any variations between these instructions and either your facility’s policies and/or your cleaning/ sterilization equipment manufacturer’s instructions, those variations should be brought to the attention of the appropriate responsible hospital personnel for resolution before proceeding with cleaning and sterilizing your devices. Use of device for a task other than that for which it is intended will usually result in a damaged or broken device. Prior to use, inspect device to ensure proper function and condition. Do not use devices if they do not satisfactorily perform their intended function or have physical damage. Only the cleaning and sterilization processes which are defined within these instructions for use have been validated. Use only neutral pH (6-8) detergent solutions.

Pre-processing Instructions Initiate cleaning of device within 2 hours of use. Transport devices via the institution’s established transport procedure. Remove excess gross soil as soon as possible after use by rinsing or wiping the device. All devices must be processed in the completely open position (i.e. flushports, jaws, etc.) to allow solution contact of all surfaces.

2. Prepare the enzymatic/neutral pH detergent solution, utilizing tap water with a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F), per manufacturer’s instructions. 3. Place device in the open/relaxed position, and completely immerse in the detergent solution and allow device to soak for a minimum of 5 minutes. Actuate all movable parts during the initiation of the soak time. 4. Using a soft bristled brush, remove all visible soil from the device. Actuate device while brushing, paying particular attention to hinges, crevices and other difficult to clean areas. Note: It is recommended that the detergent solution is changed when it becomes grossly contaminated (bloody and/or turbid). 5. For lumen devices, use a soft bristled brush with a brush diameter and length that is equivalent to lumen diameter and length. Scrub the lumen (i.e. angulated / nonangulated positions) until no visible soil is detected in the lumen rinsing step below. 6. For lumen devices, place the device into the open/relaxed position with the distal tip pointed down. Flush the device with a minimum of 50 ml of detergent solution utilizing a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F). Repeat the flush process a minimum of 2 times (i.e. total of 3 times), ensuring all fluid exiting the lumen is clear of soil. 7. For lumen devices, if visible soil is detected during the final lumen flush, re-perform brushing and flushing of the lumen. Note: The final rinse steps (8 and 9) should be performed with treated water: deionized, distilled, or reverse osmosis. 8. Rinse the device by completely immersing in treated water with a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F), for a minimum of 30 seconds to remove any residual detergent or debris. 9. For lumen devices, following the rinsing step, place the device into the open/relaxed position with the distal tip pointed down. Flush the device with a minimum of 50 ml of treated water utilizing a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F). Repeat the flush process a minimum of 2 times (i.e. total of 3 times). 10. Dry the device with a clean, lint-free towel. 11. For lumen devices, manipulate the device to allow rinse water to drain from the lumen. 12. Visually examine each device for cleanliness. 13. If visible soil remains, repeat cleaning procedure until the device is thoroughly clean.

Inspection/Maintenance Proper care and handling is essential for satisfactory performance of any surgical device. The previous cautions should be taken to ensure long and trouble-free service from all your surgical devices. Inspect devices before each use for broken, cracked, tarnished surfaces, movement of hinges, and chipped or worn parts. If any of these conditions appear, do not use the device. Return devices to an authorized repair service center for repair or replacement. Before sterilizing, lubricate the device with instrument milk or a steam permeable/water soluble lubricant, following the lubricant manufacturer’s instructions. Let devices drip dry for three (3) minutes before packaging for sterilization.
