1. Disassembly

lising.

2. Cleaning
Clean components in hot water (60–70 °C) containing a detergent
with a pH range between 6.0 and 8.0 only, in order to avoid dam-
aging the instruments and containment devices. Enzymatic deter-
gents help with the removal of organic matter, such as blood.
Detergents should be used according to their manufacturer’s rec-
ommended concentration levels. Some alkaline detergents have
been formulated to be safe for reprocessing medical devices. The
manufacturers of these detergents should provide information
about specific materials that may be damaged by their detergents.
Soak all parts thoroughly with warm, soapy water or in enzymatic
detergent for 1–5 minutes.
1.
Remove visible dirt with a cleaning tool – general purpose clean-
ing brushes, such as pipe cleaners or non-abrasive lint cloths.
Brushes and pipe cleaners should fit snugly but still be able to be
moved around easily within the area to be cleaned. Rinse thor-
oughly in clear water. Allow to dry.
2.
Check the instruments for visible dirt and repeat these steps if
necessary.

4. Disinfect
Soak at room temperature for 30 minutes in a disinfection/cleaning
solution (A). After the reaction time, use water to rinse the solution
residue from the individual parts and rinse the tubing. Rinse for at
least 2 minutes with the cleaning solution (B).
(A) fluid aldehyde-free disinfection solution with cleaning effect for
use as a soaking bath, bactericide, fungicide, limited virucide, with
good material compatibility for stainless steel, non-ferrous material
and plastics including silicone, slightly alkalic. e.g. 2 % neodisher®
Septo MEDsolution
(B) Fluid, pH-neutral, enzymatic cleaning solution for the treatment
of instruments by machine or manually with very good material
compatibility for stainless steel, non-ferrous material and plastics
including silicone.
or use cleaning / desinfecting machine.

5. Sterilise
Remove any chemical disinfectant residue before autoclaving. Do
not stack during autoclaving. In the autoclave at 134 °C for 10 min-
utes. The sterilisation device must comply to ISO 17665:2003. The
following procedures are acceptable: In the autoclave with saturat-
ed steam at 132 °C, with triple pre-evacuation, sterilisation time of
6 minutes, or at 135–137 °C in an porous load vacuum autoclave
for 3–3.5 minutes

After disinfection/sterilising, store the components in sterile foil until
required for use.
