GB - USER’S GUIDE FOR REUSABLE NON-SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS
Read safe use instructions carefully before use. These instruments are intended to
be used by medical practitioners who are specially trained on how to use and care of
them. The incorrect use, poor or inappropriate maintenance can rapidly lead to
deterioration of the instruments. The first time, and in general before and after every
use, it is rec-ommended to clean, dry and sterilise, if required, the instruments. The
device must be cleaned with warm water, disinfected and rinsed if possible with
distilled water. For au-tomated cleaning no particular requirement is requested. For
manual cleaning remove visible dust/spots with disposable cloth/paper, use approved
and certified detergents. Always follow instructions on how to use the detergent. Also
make sure that the product

does not come into contact with acids or other aggressive disinfectants that could cor-
rode it. Disinfectants must conform the applicable national regulation for disinfectants
(such as FDA Approval, and CE Mark).
Instruments that are not dried could suffer damage by corrosion. Always dry the instruments with lint-free disposable cloths (do not use recycled cloths). If sterilization is required, European Standard ISO 17665 i.e. Steam Sterilization for Medical Devices is to
be followed. Sterilization is achieved by exposing products to saturated steam at high
temperatures (121°C to 134°C). Product(s) are placed in device called the autoclave
and heated through pressurized steam to kill all microorganisms including spores. The
device’s exposure time to steam would be anywhere between 3 to 15 minutes.
Examples of minimum temperatures and times established for adequate level of microbial lethality in sterilization processes (refer table – 1 of ISO/TS 17665-2).

ilisation cycles, this depends largely on the state of the product. Repeated processing
has minimal effect on the devices; instruments that show signs of corrosion, damage
or crack must be immediately replaced and not to be used. Always perform a visual
inspection for damage or signs of wear; check for smooth functioning of medical device.
It is recommended to store the device in clean and dry condition. Whilst the instruments
are under warranty, repairs and/or replacement of all defective parts, for reasons that
are accepted by the manufacturer, are free, with the exception of costs for labour, travel,
transport, packing, etc. Damage caused by improper use of the product is not covered
by the warranty.
GIMA WARRANTY TERMS
The Gima 12-month standard B2B warranty applies.
All serious accidents concerning the medical device supplied by us must be reported to the manufacturer and competent authority of the member state where
your registered office is located.
In the context of validating the sterilisation process,
check the suitability of the specic measures for
drying. The humidity in the container can cause
the instruments to rust. Often bad, and insufcient
drying, is due to the incorrect positioning of the load
and the use of unsuitable types of cloths for drying.
There is no advice about maximum number of ster-
