Surgical instruments (OP)
Surgical instruments should be stored
for as short a time as possible before
machine processing.
The OXIVARIO programme is
recommended for instruments where
there is a long delay between the time
they are used and the time they can be
reprocessed. See "Special features" at
the end of this booklet.
Disinfection of surgical instruments and
of those used for minimal invasive
surgery should preferably take place
thermally.
De-ionised water should be used for
the final rinse whenever possible to
ensure no marks are left on the load
and to avoid corrosion. If the water
used contains more than 100 mg
chloride/litre there is danger of
corrosion.
Open up hinged instruments and place
them in mesh trays so that they are not
touching each other.
Mobile units for surgical instruments
are supplied with their own
operating instructions.
When processing
narrow lumen
instruments e.g. those used for
minimally invasive surgery
, an
intensive internal cleaning result is
imperative. The
Vario-TD
and
OXIVARIO
(special kit required)
programmes are the only ones which
offer a thorough enough level of
cleaning for this. It is essential that
instruments are loaded as directed and
that the cleaning agent used is suitable
for the programme and for the sensitive
instruments being processed.
The final rinse must be carried out
using fully demineralised water with a
conductivity level of ~15
Z
S/cm
(microsiemens per centimeter).
