MANUAL CLEANING
Cleaning Instructions
• Prepare an enzymatic cleaning solution in accordance to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Soak soiled instruments for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Do not exceed 30°C.
• When cleaning, fully immerse the instrument in the
cleaning solution to avoid aerosol generation. Use a soft
bristle brush to remove all traces of blood and debris;
pay close attention to any hard to reach areas, textured
surfaces, or crevices. When cleaning Instruments with
cannulations or lumens (i.e. tubes), or holes, use a
tight-fitting, soft, non-metallic cleaning brush or pipe
cleaner to scrub the cannula, lumen, or hole. Push in
and out, using a twisting motion to remove debris.
Use a syringe filled with enzymatic cleaning solution
to flush hard to reach internal areas. When cleaning
articulating instruments, (those with moveable parts),
brush with a soft non-metallic bristle brush to remove all
traces of blood and debris. Pay close attention to threads,
crevices, seams, and any hard to reach areas. Actuate
any moveable mechanisms, such as hinged joints,
box locks, or spring-loaded features, to free trapped
blood and debris. If the components of the instrument
can be retracted, retract or open the part while cleaning
the area. For instruments with flexible shafts, flex the
instrument under the cleaning solution.
Rinsing Instructions
Rinse the instrument thoroughly with filtered water at
38–49°C, agitate for a minimum of 1 minute; repeat rinse
at least two additional times. When rinsing, pay particular
attention to flush the cannulations, lumens, or holes with
warm tap water. Also pay particular attention to internal areas
and moveable parts. Actuate moveable parts while rinsing.
If the components of the instrument can be retracted, retract
or open the part while rinsing the area. For instruments with
flexible shafts, flex the instrument under the rinse solution.
