Lid Clamp

Attention! Users must exercise caution and adhere to critical usage guidelines to optimize safety and efficacy. A crucial warning emphasizes the incompatibility of the Lid Clamp with systems featuring integrated radio-frequency (RF), as the metal may conduct and retain heat, leading to potential skin burns. Additionally, users are advised against exposing the clamp to direct laser beams, as the heat transfer could result in burns and reflective impacts, posing risks to both the patient and medical personnel.

Maintaining the Lid Clamp’s integrity is paramount; users are urged to avoid use if the instrument is scratched or damaged. Rigorous decontamination and cleaning protocols are outlined, including immersion in a suitable decontaminating solution and cautious cleaning with a non-metallic brush. The product’s stainless steel composition ensures resistance to corrosion, but users are cautioned against chlorine-based solutions.

For sterilization, meticulous cleaning is a prerequisite before utilizing a steam autoclave at 132 degrees Celsius for four minutes, followed by a 30-minute drying period. Cold sterilization is explicitly discouraged. It’s important to note that the Lid Clamp is sold non-sterile, underlining the significance of proper sterilization procedures before use.
