Materials

Enzymatic detergent such as ENZOL
®
enzymatic detergent (US) or
Cidezyme
®
enzymatic detergent (UK)

Distilled water

10% solution of household bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite) in distilled
water

Spray bottles
Procedure
1. Prepare the enzymatic detergent according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and the 10% bleach solution, in separate spray bottles.
2. Spray the detergent liberally on the cuff. If the material is dried on, allow the
detergent to set for 1 minute. For soil on the soft part of the closure or the
cuff itself, wipe the material off with a soft cloth. For persistent
contamination on the soft part of the closure, use a soft-bristled brush to
loosen particles. Rinse with copious amounts of distilled water. Repeat until
no visible contamination remains. For soil on the hook part of the closure,
use a soft-bristled brush to remove the material, and rinse with copious
amounts of distilled water. Repeat until no visible contamination remains.
3. Spray the 10% bleach solution on the affected area until the area is
saturated. Allow the solution to set for 5 minutes.
4. Wipe away any excess solution and rinse the cuff again with distilled water.
Allow 2 hours for drying.
The user has the responsibility to validate any deviations from the
recommended method of cleaning and disinfection.
