¾Check visible surfaces for residues after mechanical cleaning/ disinfecting.

¾Repeat the cleaning process if necessary.

Note

Ultrasonic treatment can be applied in manual processing as well as in mechanical processing. Temperatures of up to 120 °C are permissible for mechanical drying with hot air.

5.5 Inspection, maintenance and checks

Note

The sterile containers may be tested and repaired only by persons with the appropriate training, expertise or experience.

The seals in the container lids were tested according to DIN EN 868-8, Annex G, for a minimum service life of 5 000 sterilization cycles.

¾In case of visible damage, change the seal immediately.

¾Have the lid sent to Aesculap, see Technical Service.

¾If necessary, lightly lubricate moving metal parts, e.g. latch hinges, with sterilizable and steam-permeable maintenance oil (e.g. STERILIT® oil spray JG600 or STERILIT® I drip feed oiler JG598).
