Sterility: Page 3 of 10
Biomet 3i’s Kits and Instruments are sold sterile or non-sterile. Refer to the specific packaging for verification of sterility. Sterilize non-sterile product prior to use in patients. Some Biomet 3i products that are sold sterile are for single use only; refer to specific packaging for single use only designation.
Single Use: Do not reuse single use or single patient devices. Reuse of a single use device that has come in contact with blood, bone, tissue or other body fluids may lead to patient or user injury. Possible risks associated with reuse of a single use device include, but are not limited to, mechanical failure and transmission of infectious agents.
Warnings and Precautions: • • • •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Universal Precautions should be observed by all clinic/hospital personnel that work with contaminated or potentially contaminated medical devices. Caution should be exercised when handling devices with sharp points or cutting edges. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn when handling or working with contaminated or potentially contaminated materials, devices and equipment. PPE includes gown, mask, goggles or face shield, gloves and shoe covers. Metal brushes or scouring pads must not be used during manual cleaning procedures. These materials will damage the surface and finish of the instruments. Soft-bristled, nylon brushes and pipe cleaners should be used. Cleaning agents with low foaming surfactants should be used during manual cleaning procedures to ensure that instruments are visible in the cleaning solution. Manual scrubbing with brushes should always be performed with the instruments below the surface of the cleaning solution to prevent generation of aerosols and splashing which may spread contaminants. Cleaning agents must be completely rinsed from device surfaces to prevent accumulation of detergent residue. DO NOT stack instruments or place heavy instruments on top of delicate devices. Dry, soiled surgical instruments are more difficult to clean. DO NOT allow contaminated devices to dry prior to reprocessing. All subsequent cleaning and sterilization steps are facilitated by not allowing blood, body fluids, bone and tissue debris, saline, or disinfectants to dry on used instruments. DO NOT place used instruments back into the tray prior to proper cleaning per the following cleaning procedure. Not following the cleaning procedure for used instruments carries the risk of cross contamination, infection and permanent nerve damage. Saline and cleaning/disinfection agents containing aldehyde, mercury, active chlorine, chloride, bromine, bromide, iodine or iodide are corrosive and should not be used. Instruments must not be placed or soaked in Ringers Solution. The performance of a drill’s internal irrigation system may be adversely affected after passing multiple sterilization cycles. Only devices manufactured and/or distributed by Biomet 3i should be included in Biomet 3i instrument trays and cases. These validated reprocessing instructions are not applicable to Biomet 3i trays and cases that include devices that are not manufactured and/or distributed by Biomet 3i. Unless otherwise indicated, instruments and kits are NOT sterile and must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized prior to use. Instruments should NOT be flash-autoclaved inside the instrument case or individually. Unwrapped instrument cases DO NOT maintain sterility. The procedures DO NOT apply to powered instrumentation. Instruments that are able to be disassembled should be disassembled prior to cleaning and sterilization. Care must be taken to avoid losing small parts. The user/processor should comply with local laws and ordinances in countries where reprocessing requirements are more stringent than those detailed in these instructions l. User and processing personnel are directed to visually inspect the surgical instruments prior to use and before and after processing to ensure no visible damage, deterioration or excessive wear and to verify fitness for use. Surgical instruments and instrument cases are susceptible to damage for a variety of reasons, including prolonged use, misuse, and rough or improper handling. Care must be taken to avoid compromising their performance. To maintain the quality of surgical instruments and trays, a standardized cleaning and sterilization protocol should be adopted. Twist Lock Impression Copings should not be used when an impression is made of multiple divergent implants. There is a risk of not being able to remove the impression tray from the copings once the impression material has set. One or more components of this devices contain the following substance defined as CMR 1B substances in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight, when identified on the product label with the below symbol:
Cobalt; CAS No.:7440-48-4; EC No.:231-158-0 There are a few case studies in which patients were diagnosed with cancer while having a device manufactured from cobaltcontaining alloys in place that hypothesized at a casual nexus between the device and the diagnosis. However, current overwhelming peer-reviewed scientific evidence and a ZimVie risk assessment support that the incidence of developing cancer or suffering from adverse reproductive effects for patients with a device manufactured from cobalt-containing alloys or stainless steel alloys containing cobalt is negligible and comparable to the respective incidence for the general population.

Recommended Procedures for Cleaning and Sterilization of Surgical Instruments and Kits
The recommended cleaning and sterilization procedures in this document apply to all Biomet 3i kits and the instruments listed above. Additionally, as indicated in Section G, Combination Cleaning and Disinfection Instructions for Instruments apply to Biomet 3i and Zimmer Dental instruments. To maintain the quality of Biomet 3i Instrumentation, the following procedures on the Biomet 3i validated process for cleaning and the validated sterilization cycles must be followed.
A. Materials Required for Procedures: Solutions • • • •
Neutral-pH detergent, or specialized cleaning solution Proteolytic enzyme detergent Tap water Purified water
Tools • • • • •
PPE: Personal Protective Equipment (gloves, goggles, apron, etc.) Glass beakers Soft bristled brushes of various sizes Thin nylon-wire brush (pipe cleaner brush) Autoclave-approved wraps or pouches
Equipment • • •
Ultrasonic cleaning unit Steam autoclave Automated Thermo-disinfector (for automated cleaning and disinfection)
B. Limitations and Restrictions: •
• •
• •
• •
Neutral pH, enzymatic, and alkaline (pH ≤ 12) cleaning agents are recommended and preferred for cleaning Biomet 3i reusable devices. Alkaline agents with pH ≤ 12 may be used to clean stainless steel and polymer instruments in countries where required by law or local ordinance; or where prion diseases such as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) are a concern. It is critical that alkaline cleaning agents are thoroughly neutralized and completely rinsed from devices. NOTE: Cutting devices should be carefully inspected after processing with alkaline detergents to ensure that cutting edges are fit for use. NOTE: It is important to select enzymatic solutions intended for breakdown of blood, body fluids and tissues. Some enzymatic solutions are specifically for breakdown of fecal matter or other organic contaminants and may not be suitable for use with Biomet 3i instruments. Where applicable, multi-component instruments should be disassembled for cleaning. Disassembly, where necessary, is generally self-evident. Care must be taken to avoid losing small parts. At point of use, soiled instruments must be removed from metal or polymer trays and moistened to prevent debris from drying before transportation to the reprocessing area for manual and/or automated cleaning procedures. Do not clean soiled instruments while in polymer or metal trays. NOTE: Any unused, single-use device that has been exposed to blood, bone, tissue, or body fluids must not be reprocessed and must be discarded. Use of hard water should be avoided. Softened tap water may be used for initial rinsing. Purified water should be used for final rinsing to eliminate mineral deposits on instruments (e.g. ultra-filter (UF), reverse-osmosis (RO), deionized (DI) distilled water (DW), or equivalent). Do not allow saline, blood, body fluids, tissue, bone fragments or other organic debris to dry on instruments prior to cleaning. Place used instruments in a container (e.g. glass beaker) filled with purified water if immediate cleaning is not possible. NOTE: Soaking in proteolytic enzyme solutions or other pre-cleaning solutions facilitates cleaning, especially in instruments with complex features and hard-to-reach areas (e.g. cannulated and tubular designs, etc.). These enzymatic solutions as well as enzymatic foam sprays break down protein matter and prevent blood and protein based materials from drying on instruments. Manufacturer’s instructions for preparation and use of these solutions should be explicitly followed. Prior to first use, the empty Dental Wash Tray (ZBDWT01) must be processed following the steps provided in section F or section G of this document. Reusable instruments may be cleaned and disinfected using an automated thermodisinfector when housed within Dental Wash Tray (ZBDWT01). An appropriate mesh basket can be used for the instruments that cannot be housed in Dental Wash Tray due to their size.
Page 5 of 10
• • •
Do not sterilize instruments in the Dental Wash Tray. Instruments should be wrapped individually or in a surgical tray as stated in section I or section J, respectively. Instruments must be sterilized following the parameters stated in section K of this document. For optimal results, instruments should be cleaned within 30 minutes of use or after removal from solution to minimize the potential for drying prior to cleaning. Repeated processing, according to the instructions in this manual has minimal effect on the reusable instruments unless otherwise noted. End of life for stainless steel or other metal surgical instruments is normally determined by wear and damage due to the intended surgical use and not to reprocessing.
C. Preparation of Cleaning Agents: • • • • •
•
Neutral pH, enzymatic, and alkaline cleaning agents with low foaming surfactants are recommended. Alkaline agents with pH ≤ 12 may be used in countries where required by law or local ordinance. Alkaline agents should be followed with a neutralizer and/or thorough rinsing. Only agents with proven efficacy (FDA approved, VAH listed, or CE mark) should be used. As a large variety of cleaning agents and disinfectants exists around the globe, Biomet 3i does not recommend any specific brand. All cleaning agents should be prepared at the use-dilution and temperature recommended by the manufacturer. Softened tap water may be used to prepare cleaning agents. Use of recommended temperatures is important for optimal performance of cleaning agents. Dry powdered cleaning agents should be completely dissolved prior to use to avoid staining or corrosion of instruments and to ensure correct concentration. Fresh cleaning solutions should be prepared when existing solutions become grossly contaminated (bloody and/or turbid).

NOTE: The autoclave manufacturer’s instructions should be strictly adhered to for the pressure selection during the aforementioned sterilization cycles. The pressure requirements during the sterilization are the responsibility of the autoclave manufacturers to determine and validate. NOTE: Chamber size and chamber load differences may exist between industrial and health care facility sterilizer models. The sterilization parameters above can be achieved in both health care facility and larger, industrial sterilizer models. Because of the many variables involved in sterilization, each health care facility should calibrate and verify the sterilization process (e.g. temperatures, times) used for their equipment, and use caution to avoid over-loading or stacking of trays. NOTE: The cleaning and sterilization information provided in this document have been validated as being capable of preparing instruments and kits for reuse. The sterilization validations demonstrated a sterility assurance level of 10-6. The sterilization parameters were validated with representative double wrapped worst case kits of the above catalog numbers containing all of the instruments included within the kits. Biomet 3i cannot guarantee the sterility when processing more than one kit at a time. NOTE: It remains the responsibility of the processor to ensure the processing is performed using validated equipment and that personnel in the processing facility have been trained to achieve the desired results. This normally requires validation and routine monitoring of the process. Any deviation by the processor from the instructions should be properly evaluated for

effectiveness and potential adverse consequences. Some devices have specific disassembly/re-assembly instructions. In this case, refer to the instructions provided with the devices for additional instructions. Users must establish appropriate cleaning protocols for reusable medical devices used at their sites using the recommendations of the device manufacturer and cleaning agent manufacture.
L. Storage Instructions: •
Instruments should be dried completely prior to storage. Sterile, wrapped instruments should be stored in a designated, limited access area that is well ventilated and provides protection from dust, moisture, insects, vermin, and temperature/humidity extremes. Failure to do so may result in stainless steel corrosion or staining.
•
Sterile instrument wraps should be carefully examined prior to opening to ensure that package integrity has not been compromised.
NOTE: Maintenance of sterile package integrity is generally event related. If a sterile wrap is torn, perforated, shows any evidence of tampering or has been exposed to moisture, the instrument set must be cleaned, repackaged and sterilized. NOTE: If there is any evidence that the lid seal or filters on a sterilization container have been opened or compromised, the sterile filters must be replaced and the instrument set re-sterilized.
