OR Instruments (OP)
It is important to process OP
instruments as soon as possible after
use.
Surgical instruments, even those for
minimally invasive procedures, should
be thermally disinfected for best
results.
Whenever possible, demineralized
water should be used for rinsing, for a
spotless result and to avoid corrosion.
The use of tap water with more than
100 mg chloride/l entails the risk of
corrosion.
Hinged instruments should be open
when loaded into the mesh trays and
staggered to avoid covering other
instruments.
The mobile units for OP instruments
come with their own instructions for
use.
When processing
instruments for
minimally invasive procedures, e.g.,
endosurgery
, it is essential that the
insides be thoroughly cleaned before
washing. Only the
vario-TD
program is
suitable for thorough cleaning. Always
comply with the specific loading
instructions and all applicable
requirements, including the use of
appropriate detergents, for these
sensitive instruments.
For rinsing, use demineralized water
with a conductivity of ~15
Z
S/cm
(microSiemens per centimetre).
Instruments that are especially
narrow may have to be manually
pre-cleaned. Observe the
instructions of the instrument
manufacturer!
