and disinfected as separate components along with the main portion of the handle. Lenses must be
removed from otoscope heads during high level disinfection and drying. The accessories should be
fully immersed in the disinfectant for a minimum of 45 minutes. No air bubbles should be visible on
the immersed accessories during this soak time. The accessories should then be removed from the
disinfectant and immersed in purified water to rinse off all disinfectant. Immersion should be for a
minimum of one minute and the process should be repeated two additional times using fresh puri-
fied water each time. Once rinsing is complete, the accessories should be thoroughly dried using a
sterile, lint-free cloth.
Note: Always allow accessories to completely dry before use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before using a Cidex® Activated Dialdehyde Solution® for high level disin-
fection, a Cidex® test strip should be used to ensure that the solution concentration is minimally ef-
fective. Consult with the Cidex® Activated Dialdehyde Solution® user instructions, as well as the
original equipment manufacturer’s instructions for the Cidex® test strips, for guidance prior to use.
