Sterilizer. Loads containing moisture may cause
cycle cancellations.
Cleaning, Rinsing, and Drying
Cleaning and sterilization are two separate processes. Proper cleaning of
instruments and devices is a critical and necessary step prior to sterilization.
All items including accessories must be thoroughly cleaned, rinsed, and
dried before loading into the sterilizer.
Carefully inspect all instruments, devices, and accessories for cleanliness
and dryness prior to packaging. If visible soil is present, the item must be
re-cleaned and dried prior to sterilization. If moisture is present, dry the
item thoroughly prior to sterilization.
Carefully inspect all instruments, devices, and accessories for flaws or
damage prior to packaging. Items with flaws or damage should be
replaced or repaired before using.
Note: Periodic careful inspection of items after repeated
exposure to disinfectant/cleaner/sterilant is necessary,
due to the potential damaging effects of the chemical
agents.
Cleaning is necessary to remove organic and inorganic soil and debris from
equipment. This process also removes many microorganisms from the surface
of the items. Sterilization then inactivates all remaining spores and live
microorganisms.
Clean
your devices according to the medical device manufacturers'
instructions. You must remove all blood, tissue, and soil from items using
appropriate detergents, cleansers and/or methods.
Rinse
items thoroughly to remove detergent or cleanser residue. Use
treated water that is of a quality that ensures hard water stains do not
occur. Failure to remove all organic materials or detergents may result in
the formation of light-colored residue on the devices. If residue is visible,
you should clean, rinse, dry, and resterilize the device prior to use.
