Sterilization
Reocor S cannot be sterilized. If the device needs to be
used in a sterile environment, it can be packed into a
sterile cover.
Annual checks of the device by manufacturer-authorized
technicians are recommended.
Even though Reocor S is protected from dripping
water, the device should be kept clean and dry.
Reusable Patient Cables
Prior to opening, the package of a sterile cable must
be inspected for damage to determine whether sterility
has been compromised.
The reusable patient cables can be cleaned and disinfected
with hospital cleaning agents following many
different methods. However, aggressive chemicals
(such as acetone) may never be used.
The use of a wiping cloth with regular, alcohol-free
hand soap or the cleaning agent Stabimed by Braun is
the recommended cleaning method for the cables.
Subsequently, the cables must be cleaned from
cleaning agent residue with electrolyte-free water and
then wiped with a clean, dry cloth.
For disinfection in a disinfectant bath, an aldehydebased
(e.g. Lysoformin 3000) or alcohol-based
(e.g. Aerodesin 2000) disinfectant agent must be used
in accordance with the manufacturer information and
in accordance to the respective hospital guidelines.
After disinfection, the cable must be cleaned from
residues of the disinfectant by rinsing it in electrolytefree
water.
A steam sterilization can be carried out at 121°C and
1.1 bar for 20 min.
