E expiry date date up to which the medical device can be used. After this date, the medical device will need to be resterilised
A Active implantable device Active implantable medical devices are devices which are designed to be wholly or partially implanted in the human body or located in a natural orifice, and that require the supply of electricity or another energy source to operate correctly other than energy that is directly generated by the human body or gravity. (Public Health Code L.5211-1)
I Implantable device Any device designed to be completely implanted in the human body or to replace an epithelial surface or the surface of the eye, during a surgical procedure and to remain in place after surgery. An implantable device also incorporates any device designed to be partially implanted in the human body during surgery and that is intended to remain in place after the surgical procedure for a period of at least thirty days. (directive 93/42/EEC)
alcohol wipe disposable wipe soaked in an alcoholic solution designed to disinfect medical devices
autoclave container with thick walls and hermetic seal designed to steam sterilise under a pressure of several bar. For an item to be considered sterile, the theoretical probability of isolating a germ must be less than 1 in a million. This is the sterility assurance level (SAL) stipulated in standard EN 556.
M Medical device A medical device is any instrument, device, item of equipment, material or product, excluding products of human origin, or any other item used alone or with another item, including accessories and software required to ensure correct operation of the medical device, designed by the manufacturer to be used on humans for medical purposes and of which the main desired action is not obtained using pharmacological or immunological means or metabolism, but whose function may be aided by such means. Software designed by the manufacturer to be specifically used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes also constitutes a medical device. (Public Health Code L.5211-1)
C cleaning essential pre-conditioning step to remove contamination through the physical-chemical action of a suitable product such as a detergent, combined with a mechanical action to ensure that the medical device is fully operational and clean. After cleaning, the cleanliness of the medical device components should be checked in addition to the cleanliness of the reassembled medical device. It is also important to make sure there is no damage likely to impact the safety, integrity or correct operation of the device

Glossary: pre-disinfection – washer-disinfector
pre-disinfection initial treatment to be performed on contaminated objects and equipment in order to reduce the number of micro-organisms and to facilitate subsequent cleaning. It is important to prevent residue from drying on the equipment. The other purpose of pre-disinfection is to protect personnel during the handling of instruments and to protect the environment. It is performed as soon as possible after use of the medical device within the vicinity of the place of use, prior to cleaning and in accordance with a procedure validated by the quality assurance system manager. The bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal activities of the products used are determined in accordance with standards in force. These products are compatible with the medical devices to be handled and do not contain any substance known to be able to bind proteins
pre-vacuum forced extraction of air from inside the autoclave sterilisation chamber
S sterilisation process used to kill potentially infectious viable or revivable germs in medicines or on medical devices. By definition, the sterility of a medical device is determined by a 1 in 1,000,000 probability of finding a viable or revivable germ on (or in) a product
U ultrasonic tank or ultrasonic cleaning. Rapid part cleaning or product dissolution procedure using the mechanical effect of ultrasonic waves
user practitioner using the medical device to perform a clinical procedure. Also called operator

4 Warnings Do not clean the medical device with steel wool or abrasive cleaning products. Do not use solutions containing iodine or with a high chlorine content. The pH of the detergents and disinfectants must be between 7 and 11. Contaminated or used devices cannot be placed in sterilisation box or cleaned in a machine. The cleaning method for the Piezotome handpiece-cord assembly recommended by SATELEC, a company of Acteon group is manual or automatic. All devices must be carefully cleaned and then undergo a final sterilisation before use. The sterilization parameters are only valid for correctly cleaned devices. Handpiece parts (depending on model: nosepiece, LED ring, light guide, cord grommet) require special attention during cleaning. If the surface of the devices is damaged, ultrasonic cleaning may compound this damage. Only the handpiece nosepiece can be ultrasonically treated. The handpiece-cord assembly, the LED ring and the optical guide must not be exposed to ultrasonic cleaning. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that all equipment used to recondition SATELEC, a company of Acteon group products is properly installed, validated, maintained and calibrated. When possible, use a washer-disinfector. Prevent the overloading of wash baskets during ultrasonic cleaning or in a washer-disinfector. Throughout the procedure, wipe away blood and debris to prevent it from drying on the surfaces. After the procedure, soiled devices must be covered with a damp cloth to prevent residue from drying. Soiled devices must also be separated from non-contaminated devices to avoid contamination of personnel or surroundings.
4.1 Precautions to be taken At the end of the procedure, rinse, clean and disinfect the irrigation circuit. l remove the perforator from the irrigation solution; l immerse it in a container filled with an enzymatic cleaner; l run the purge cycle on your medical device and allow the liquid to pass through the irrigation line for at least one minute; l stop the purge cycle, then immerse the perforator in distilled or purified water; l run the purge cycle for at least one minute to rinse the irrigation line; l take the perforator out of the liquid and purge the line until all the liquid has been removed; l wipe any blood and debris from the handpiece and cord to prevent them from drying on the surfaces; l cover the handpiece with a soft lint-free cloth dampened with purified water to prevent blood and debris from drying.
4.2 Cleaning cycle limits Repeated packaging cycles involving manual washing and sterilisation have little effect on the handpiece-cord assembly, the LED ring and the Piezotome light guide. Repeated packaging cycles involving ultrasonic cleaning, manual washing and sterilisation have little effect on the nosepiece of the Piezotome handpiece. End of service life is normally determined by wear and damage due to use.
4.3 Containment and transportation Soiled devices must be transported separately from non-contaminated devices to avoid any contamination.
