Preparing for Sterilization Process

Place clean and dry products (handpieces, attachments, sterilization guides) into designated locations in the sterilization container. Fasten sterilization case lid.

Sterilization Container Dimensions: 425 mm (Length) x 305 mm (Width) x 120 mm (Height)

WARNING: Instruments are manufactured as non-sterile. They need to be sterilized before using.

CAUTION: ACF Medical recommends you to autoclave your tools and accessories in ACF sterilization container. Every instrument should be sterilized independent of each other.

Sterilization Recommendations

1. The most effective and safe sterilization method is steam sterilization for Modular Battery Surgical Power Tool System. The instruments are capable of withstanding the recommended exposure times and temperatures of steam sterilization. Other sterilization methods are not recommended.
2. Sterilization must be carried out through a validated steam sterilization process (according to ISO 17665-1:2006).

In case of any urgent need;

• Instruments can be sterilized with parameters of 134° C program for a minimum holding time of 4 minutes as can be seen below. For normal operation procedures, validated steam sterilization process should be followed.
• Sterilized instruments should be used not long after sterilization. Steam autoclave should be in the most closest location to the operating room and/or sterilized instruments should be transported to the point of use under aseptic conditions.
• Quality controls should be recorded such as all indicator results, emergency reasons and patient information.

Parameters for Sterilizing

WARNING: Instruments are manufactured as non-sterile. They need to be sterilized before using.
CAUTION: The following value must not be exceeded for sterilizing: 134° C. Higher values can damage the sterilized products.
CAUTION: Do not use the handpiece just after autoclave process till temperature of trigger mechanism to cool down and reach to room temperature. If you use it before cooling; handpiece will be damaged.
CAUTION: Products such as coolant should not be used to speed up the cooling of the instruments.
CAUTION: Where there is a concern about TSE/vCJD contamination, the World Health Organization recommends processing through a pre-vacuum steam sterilization cycle for 18 minutes at 134 °C (273 °F). (WHO/CDS/CSR/ APH 2000.3, “WHO Infection Control Guidelines for TSE,” March 1999).
