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 trays must be thoroughly cleaned, rinsed, and dried
before loading into the sterilizer.
♦
Carefully inspect all instruments and devices 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 and devices for flaws or damage prior to
packaging. Devices and instruments with flaws or damage should be replaced
or repaired before using.
Note : Periodic careful inspection of the items after repeated
exposure to disinfectant/cleaner/sterilant is necessary, due
to the potential damaging effects of the chemical agents on
the items.
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.
