The Microwash Q-Rinse System is designed to interface with a variety of surgical instruments
by using standard luer adaptors. A storage tray is provided on the top of the unit to keep these
adaptors available. A smaller diameter cleaning brush is included to assist in clearing blockages
in metallic lumens.
CAUTION #1
Follow your facility’s Standards of Practice for personnel working in the decontamination,
preparation and sterilization area.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, apron, sleeves and visor or protective
eyewear must be worn when cleaning contaminated medical instruments to reduce the risk
of cross contamination.
Users of the Microwash Q-Rinse System must still adhere to the facility’s Standards of Practice
for sterilization and sterility assurance for cleaning medical devices. In the UK this includes
compliance with recommended practices covering the preparation and decontamination
of instruments, see “Choice Framework for Local Policy and Procedures” issued by the
Department of Health.
