Pre-Cleaning
Do a manual pre-cleaning, until the components
are visually clean. Submerge the components in a
cleaning solution and flush the lumens with a
water jet pistol with cold tap water for at least 10
seconds. Clean the surfaces with a soft bristol
brush.
Cleaning
Regarding cleaning/disinfection, rinsing and
drying, it is to distinguish between manual and
automated reprocessing methods. Preference is
to be given to automated reprocessing methods,
especially due to the better standardizing
potential and industrial safety.
Automated Cleaning:
Carefully put the components into the
washer-disinfector on a tray and set the
parameters as follows, then start the program:
·
4 min pre-washing with cold water (<40°C);
·
emptying
·
5 min washing with a mild alkaline cleaner
at 55°C;
·
emptying
·
3 min neutralising with warm water (>40°C);
·
emptying
