12. Dry the light post adapters and the Light Seeker using a sterile towel or cloth.

Sterilization

The Light Seeker can be steam sterilized with the Autoclave pre-vacuum process. Use of any other sterilization process (including flash sterilization) will not ensure sterility, and may damage the Light Seeker.

Ensure the Light Seeker and light post adapters have been cleaned prior to conducting sterilization.

The following cycle parameters have been validated for the Light Seeker and should be used, Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the autoclave sterilizer, to ensure sterility of the Light Seeker:

 

   Autoclave Cycle Tvpe    Pre-vacuum   
   Device Configuration1    Wrapped   
   Sterilization Temperature    270°F / 132°C   
   Exposure Time    4 minutes   
   Dry Time    20 minutes   

 

1  STERIKING See-through Self-sealable Pouches (double pouched) were included in the sterilization validation for the Light Seeker. The light post adapters were double peel pouched separately from the Light Seeker in the sterilization validation and thus this is recommended.

HOW SUPPLIED

The Light Seeker is supplied non-sterile and must be cleaned and high level disinfected or cleaned and sterilized before its first and every subsequent use. The items packaged with the Light Seeker include the Instructions for Use and 2 light post adaptors. Retain the light post adapters with the Light Seeker for use with various configurations of light cables (i.e. ACMI, RICHARD WOLF, KARL STORZ).

STORAGE BETWEEN USE

If high level disinfection is the method chosen, this step should be performed immediately prior to use on the patient. Storage in a tray does not maintain the level of disinfection, Thus, a high level disinfected Light Seeker placed into a clean tray must be reprocessed again before use on a patient. If sterilization is chosen, follow the steam sterilization instructions to maintain sterility of the Light Seeker and light post adapters between uses. Use separate reprocessing double peel packs for storing and sterilizing the Light Seeker and adapters that comply with the steam sterilization process and instructions and maintain sterility between uses.

Instructions for

Cleaning, Sterilization, and Care

Cleaning

Do not allow contaminants to dry on instruments as this makes cleaning more difficult. Immediately after use, place instrument under cold, running water to remove contaminants then pre-soak in enzymatic cleaning solution. Follow enzymatic cleaner instructions for concentration, water temperature, and timeframe. Thoroughly rinse instrument to remove harmful residue from soaking solutions.

Caution; Instruments must not be soaked in caustic or physlological saline solutions as this could cause pitting or rust.

Use a soft brush to help remove remaining contaminants.

Caution: Do not use metal brushes as this could scratch or deposit metal particles on the Instrument which could lead to rusting.

A pressurized water spray can also be used to remove contaminants. Rinse thoroughly under cold, running water followed by a distilled water rinse to remove tap water residue.

Visually inspect instrument to insure it is clean.

Place instrument in an ultrasonic cleaner and follow the ultrasonic cleaner instructions for detergent, temperature, and time. Rinse thoroughly under cold, running water to remove any residue of the detergent once again followed by a distilled water rinse.

Caring for Stainless Steel Surgical Instruments

For stainless steel to be used for surgical instruments, it must contain a specific amount of carbon. Carbon is required in order to allow the steel to become “hardened.” Hardening strengthens the steel and allows it to retain sharpness. Carbon also allows steel to be more susceptible to tarnishing arid rusting. The effect of the carbon is minimized by processing the surface finish of the instrument. As the name implies, the material stainless steel—STAINS LESS, but is not stain-free.

Improper cleaning, disinfection, and sterilizing will contribute more to rusting or staining than the carbon content of the stainless steel.

Common Problems

1. Improper drying of the instrument after cleaning, disinfection, or sterilizing especially in joints and lock boxes.

2. Using corrosive or caustic cleaning agents. (Do not use any chemical over 10_5 pH)

3. Improper rinsing to remove the cleaning or disinfecting solutions; Using tap water without following with a distilled water rinse (tap water may contain chemicals and minerals such as iron which can leave deposits on the surface).

4. Faulty autoclave which may leave deposits on the instrument and attack the instrument’s surface finish.

5. Use of stiff metal brushes that roughen the surface of the instrument and leaves it susceptible to rust and stains.
