26 DePuy Synthes Instructions for Use Air Pen Drive
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning and Disinfection
Disassembly
Before cleaning, remove all the instruments, cutting
tools, attachments and cables from the power tool.
Important:
•
Clean all movable parts in opened or unlocked
position.
•
Make sure that no cleaning solution enters the air
inlet of the handpiece as well as the inside of the
hose (Figs. 3–5).
•
When cleaning the handpiece, do not insert objects
into the air inlet and outlet holes since this would
damage the micro filter.
•
Make sure that the release sleeve of the handpiece
is free from residues and can move properly
(Fig. 6).
•
Do not automatically clean or sterilize the foot
switch (05.001.081).
Cleaning and Disinfection of the Foot Switch
1. To clean the foot switch, wipe it off with a clean, soft
and lint-free cloth dampened with deionized water and
dry it.
2. To disinfect the foot switch, wipe it off with a clean,
soft and lint-free cloth dampened with a minimum of
70% alcohol-based disinfectant for thirty (30) seconds. A
disinfectant that is VAH listed, EPA registered or locally
recognized is recommended. This step has to be repeated
two (2) additional times using a new, clean, soft and lint-
free cloth dampened with a minimum 70% alcohol-based
disinfectant each time. Follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the disinfectant.
The foot switch may be cleaned under running water if
necessary. Make sure that no water enters the ventilation
hole on the bottom plate and into the 3 plugs in the back.
Do not immerse. Allow to dry after cleaning.
Cleaning and Disinfection of Handpieces, Air Hoses
and Attachments
Handpieces, Air Hoses and Attachments may be pro-
cessed using manual cleaning or automated cleaning
with manual pre-cleaning.
Assembly prior to manual and automated cleaning:
•
Put the Protective Cap (05.001.086) on the handpiece
(05.001.080), (Fig. 1).
•
Connect both sides of the Air Hose (05.001.083,
05.001.084) with the Seal Nipple for Double Air Hose
for Air Pen Drive (05.001.091), (Fig. 2).
•
Seal the Synthes Double Air Hose (519.510, 519.530 or
519.550) air hoses by joining the inlet and outlet.
•
Connect both sides of the Dräger Double Air Hose
(519.610, 519.630 or 519.650) with the Seal Nipple
(519.596) and both sides of the BOC/Schrader Air Hose
(519.511 or 519.531) with the Seal Nipple (519.591 or
519.592).
Make sure that the surfaces, which the Protective Cap,
Seal Nipple and hose couplings will cover, are disin-
fected. To do this, wipe off these surfaces with a clean,
soft and lint-free cloth dampened with a minimum of
70% alcohol-based disinfectant. Make sure that no dis-
infectant enters the hose and the handpiece.
