LIFETIME WARRANTY
We guarantee every “Hi-Tech” surgical instrument to be free of functional defects in workmanship and materials. “Hi-Tech” promises to repair or replace, free of charge, any surgical instrument that does not meet these requirements when used for their intended surgical purpose. “Hi-Tech” promises to repair instruments that have been abused or subjected to abnormal use for a small surcharge.
CARE AND HANDLING
With proper care and handling, “Hi-Tech” instruments will last for years. Please use these guidelines for all “Hi-Tech” Stainless Steel Instruments.
- Brand new instruments should be cleaned prior to first sterilization.
- Contaminated instruments should be processed as soon as possible.
- Stubborn protein particles can be removed with a scrub brush. Never use steel wool, abrasives or an acid rinse.
- Open joints on instruments prior to preparation
- Do not use multipurpose detergents to wash or soak instruments. Instead, use a low-suds detergent specifically designed for instruments. The pH of the product should never be higher than 8.
- When using ultrasonics, a detergent with a pH of 6, 7 or 8 must be used.
- Lubrication is vital to a long instrument life. We recommend water soluble instrument milk.
- Avoid silicone lubricants because they tend to build up and mix with debris to clog moving parts, which becomes almost impossible to remove. Debris buildup can have a “rust-like” appearance.
- Rinse your cleaned instruments in de-mineralized water. Be sure to remove all residual cleaning compounds before sterilization, as they can cause stains.
- Dry the instrument thoroughly after rinsing.
