Ophthalmology

 Ophthalmic instruments should only by reprocessed in a
washer-disinfector specifically dedicated for this application.
This way there is no risk of residues from other disciplines being
deposited in narrow lumened hollow instruments.
Synthetic cover nets, e.g. Miele A2 or A3 cover nets, must not be
used in this washer-disinfector.
 When reprocessing ophthalmic instruments do not dispense
rinsing agent.
Ophthalmological instruments should only be reprocessed in mobile
injector units designed for them.
Mobile units are supplied with their own operating instructions.
For ophthalmic instruments, the demineralised water must also be
low in endotoxins and pyrogens.
 Risk of skin irritation due to pyrogens in the final rinse water.
Pyrogens in the final rinse water can cause irritation to the eyes,
e.g. TASS.
Use demineralised water which is low in pyrogens for the final
rinse. Check the water quality for pyrogens regularly if the
demineralised water is generated with an ion exchanger.
