Reprocessing - Non-sterilisable Equipment These reprocessing instructions are suitable for the non-sterilisable equipment described in this user manual. • Extractor • NS3 Control Box
Limitations on reprocessing Repeated processing as specified in these instructions has minimal effect on this equipment. Equipment end-of-life is normally determined by wear or damage during use.
Safety Instructions WARNING: ensure the equipment is disconnected from all power sources before cleaning WARNING: inspect all equipment before use and do not use suspect, damaged or worn equipment CAUTION: do not immerse any part of this equipment in fluids CAUTION: do not clean this equipment in an automatic washer-disinfector CAUTION: do not clean any part of this equipment in an ultrasonic cleaner CAUTION: do not sterilise this equipment CAUTION: do not spray wash the extractor
Detergents and Rinse Aids WARNING: the choice of detergent or rinse aid, and the manner in which they are used, is critical
to sustaining the reliability of the equipment. Failure to follow the instructions given in this user manual may cause premature failure of the equipment and may compromise patient safety. CAUTION: ensure the detergent or rinse aid used is suitable for use on anodised aluminium and
the following plastics: PEEK and PPSU CAUTION: ensure the detergent or rinse aid manufacturer’s guidelines and process parameters
(such as, dilution and temperature) are followed CAUTION: never use detergents with a pH value greater than 11.0 or less than 7.0 NOTE: the use of pH-neutral enzymatic detergents is highly recommended
Point of Use (before reprocessing) WARNING: do not allow the soil to dry on the equipment WARNING: ensure the equipment is reprocessed as soon as practically possible after use CAUTION: do not use saline water to rinse the equipment CAUTION: only use pH neutral substances prior to reprocessing
Excess soil may be removed with a suitable wipe, or rinsed away with deionised or distilled running water after use (maximum 35°C). CAUTION: do not immerse any part of the equipment
Containment and Transportation It is important that this equipment is reprocessed as soon as practically possible after use. In order to minimise contamination risks, the handling, collection and transportation of soiled equipment should be strictly controlled.

Manual Cleaning NOTE: cannulations, blind holes, recesses, and other surfaces which are hard to reach, require
particular attention during reprocessing 1. Remove any attachments and accessories. 2. Where present, clean the fan grill and air vents with a soft brush to remove any dust or debris. 3. Wipe the surfaces of the equipment with a clean, soft cloth, slightly dampened with a mild pH balanced detergent or alcohol. NOTE: avoid fluid ingress 4. Wipe the surfaces of the equipment with a clean, soft cloth, slightly dampened with distilled or sterilised water. NOTE: avoid fluid ingress 5. Dry the equipment with a clean, soft, dry cloth.

Reprocessing - Immersible Equipment These reprocessing instructions are suitable for the immersible equipment described in this user manual. • Extractor hose • Autopsy saw • Primary permanent filter • Secondary permanent filter • Outer debris bag NOTE: the outer debris bag, primary permanent filter and secondary permanent filter only require reprocessing after prolonged use or in the event of a split paper bag
Limitations on reprocessing Repeated processing as specified in these instructions has minimal effect on this equipment. Equipment end-of-life is normally determined by wear or damage during use.
Safety Instructions WARNING: ensure the equipment is disconnected from all power sources before cleaning WARNING: inspect all equipment before use and do not use suspect, damaged or worn equipment WARNING: do not use corrosive cleaning fluids or hypochlorite based solutions (bleach) CAUTION: do not clean this equipment in an automatic washer-disinfector CAUTION: do not clean any part of this equipment in an ultrasonic cleaner CAUTION: do not sterilise this equipment CAUTION: following a wet cleaning process, ensure that this equipment is dried immediately
Detergents and Rinse Aids WARNING: the choice of detergent or rinse aid, and the manner in which they are used, is critical
to sustaining the reliability of the equipment. Failure to follow the instructions given in this user manual may cause premature failure of the equipment and may compromise patient safety. CAUTION: ensure the detergent or rinse aid used is suitable for use on anodised aluminium and
the following plastics: PEEK and PPSU CAUTION: ensure the detergent or rinse aid manufacturer’s guidelines and process parameters
(such as, dilution and temperature) are followed CAUTION: never use detergents with a pH value greater than 11.0 or less than 7.0 NOTE: the use of pH-neutral enzymatic detergents is highly recommended
Point of Use (before reprocessing) WARNING: do not allow the soil to dry on the equipment WARNING: ensure the equipment is reprocessed as soon as practically possible after use CAUTION: do not use saline water to rinse the equipment CAUTION: only use pH neutral substances prior to reprocessing

Containment and Transportation It is important that this equipment is reprocessed as soon as practically possible after use. In order to minimise contamination risks, the handling, collection and transportation of soiled equipment should be strictly controlled.
Cleaning and Disinfection Manual Cleaning Manual cleaning should be conducted in a dedicated area, by trained personnel who are wearing protective clothing, for example: gloves, a waterproof apron, and goggles or a visor. NOTE: the use of dedicated sinks with temperature controlled water, ideally deionised or distilled, is recommended NOTE: cannulations, blind holes, recesses, and other surfaces which are hard to reach, require
particular attention during reprocessing 1. Remove any attachments, accessories and the spindle guard, as required and wash them separately. 2. Wash off excess soil with running water (maximum 35°C). 3. Prepare a solution of detergent according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions. 4. Remove all visible traces of contaminant, using suitable nylon brushes to scrub the equipment thoroughly. i) Ensure any trapped contaminants are removed by flushing through cannulations and other surfaces which are hard to reach. 5. Rinse off all traces of the detergent with deionised or distilled running water (45 - 65°C). 6. Shake off any excess water and dry the surfaces with a lint-free cloth. 7. Visually inspect each item. Verify that all contaminants have been removed in accordance with local reprocessing guidelines. Disinfection 1. Immerse the parts in disinfectant fluid according to the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions. 2. Rinse off all traces of the disinfectant with deionised or distilled running water (45 - 65°C). 3. Shake off any excess water and dry the surfaces with a lint-free cloth. 4. Visually inspect each item. Verify that all contaminants have been removed in accordance with local reprocessing guidelines.
Inspection and Function Testing WARNING: inspect all equipment before use and do not use suspect, damaged or worn equipment
1. Ensure the equipment is in good working order. i) Note any unusual sounds, vibrations or operating speeds. NOTE: if operating difficulties are experienced, refer to the troubleshooting section of this
user manual 2. Inspect reusable cutting accessories for damage and wear. NOTE: dispose of worn or damaged cutting accessories appropriately

Point of Use (after reprocessing) CAUTION: do not operate this equipment while it is still warm from reprocessing CAUTION: this equipment should not be placed in a refrigerator or similar
Additional Information Manual cleaning has been validated in accordance with AAMI TIR30. The reprocessing instructions provided in this user manual are compatible with the requirements of HTM 01-01. The reprocessing instructions provided in this user manual have been validated by De Soutter Medical as being capable of preparing a device for reuse. It remains the responsibility of the reprocessor 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. Likewise, any deviation by the reprocessor from the instructions provided in this user manual, should be properly evaluated for effectiveness and potential adverse consequences.
