External Cleaning
To clean the external case of the HYFRECATOR PLUS and the up/down switching
handle and cord:
• Moisten a lint-free cloth with a mixture of mild soap and water.
• Clean all external surfaces with this solution.
• Dry all surfaces thoroughly using a clean, lint-free cloth.
Soap-based solutions - rather than harsh chemicals - are recommended cleaning
agents for the HYFRECATOR PLUS. Evaporative solutions are preferred so as to
limit exposure of internal electrical components. Material characteristics of the unit
do not allow for gas, steam or cold sterilization techniques.
Steam Sterilization of Accessories
18
NOTE: Do not autoclave the power up/down switching handle and cord. If procedures require sterility, use Ethylene Oxide at <140°F.
[If a footswitch is utilized, a sterile disposable non-switching pencil and a reusable
adapter can be utilized (product number 137657 for the pencil and 670-3 for the
adapter). An autoclavable reusable non-switching pencil is also available (product
number 7-796-6), which also requires a footswitch (product number 7-796-4).]
To steam sterilize accessories and electrodes:
• Place accessories in autoclavable packaging or wrap with a cloth.
• Autoclave at 121 ·c (250°F) ± 3·c for 15 minutes minimum/20 minutes maximum.
• Remove accessories from the autoclave and allow to cool for 30 minutes
minimum.
NOTE: It is not advisable to cold sterilize surgical electrodes due to potential
corrosion.
