The plastic bracket can be sterilized using MINNCARE LIQUID DISINFECTANT at least 245
times (11 hours per time) before its safety and performance is affected.
High-pressure steam sterilization
High-pressure steam sterilization is preferred for the metal guided brackets.
1. Wear a pair of gloves to prevent infection.
2. Clean the needle-guided bracket thoroughly in accordance with the cleaning procedure
before sterilization.
3. Package the needle-guided bracket in accordance with the sterilization requirements of
surgical instruments
using the sterilization wrap or pouch cleared by FDA.
4. Place the packaged needle-guided bracket inside a high-temperature steam sterilizer and
perform sterilization. The sterilization parameters are 121°C and 30 minutes for a gravity
displacement steam sterilizer.
5. Take out the sterilization package after sterilization and dry it in an oven at 60°C for 20–
30 minutes.
6. Keep the sterilization package together with other sterilized surgical instruments in a
sterile item storage area.
7. Check whether the needle-guided bracket has defects such as deformation and rusting
before use. If such defects exist, the bracket has reached the end of its service life. In this
case, stop using it and contact the Mindray service department.
1.
Repeated sterilization may degrade the safety and performance of the needle-
guided bracket. Please check the needle-guided bracket’s performance
periodically.
2.
Needle guided brackets are required to verified before each biopsy. If the
verification fails, it indicates that the needle-guided brackets are out of service
life. For details about needle guided bracket verification, please refer to "13.2.5
Verify Biopsy Guide Line".
