High-level disinfection
• Completely remove air bubbles from all equipment.
Disinfection effects cannot be obtained if air bubbles remain
on the equipment.
• All disinfection steps should be performed with all equipment
completely immersed. If any part of the equipment is not
immersed completely, disinfectant solution may not
adequately contact all surfaces.
1.
Fill a basin with disinfectant solution at the temperature and concentration
recommended by the disinfectant manufacturer. Use a basin which is deep
enough to allow all equipment to be completely immersed.
2.
Immerse all equipment in the disinfectant solution.
3.
Using a lint-free cloth and/or 30 cm
3
(30 ml) syringe, wipe and/or flush all
surfaces with the disinfectant solution to remove all air bubbles.
4.
Using the 30 cm
3
(30 ml) syringe, flush the interiors and recessed parts of
them while they are immersed. Ensure that all air bubbles are expelled.
5.
While immersed, depress and release the pistons of the valves and AW
channel cleaning adapter. Ensure that all air bubbles are expelled.
6.
Using the 30 cm
3
(30 ml) syringe, flush the recessed parts of the biopsy
valve with disinfectant solution while the valve is immersed. Ensure that all
air bubbles are expelled.
7.
Rub the bristles of the channel cleaning brush and channel-opening
cleaning brush to remove all air bubbles.
8.
Using the 30 cm
3
(30 ml) syringe, flush the inside of the suction cleaning
adapter thoroughly with disinfectant solution while it is immersed in the
disinfectant solution. Ensure that all air bubbles are expelled.
9.
Cover the basin with a tight fitting lid to minimize the diffusion of disinfectant
vapor. Soak all equipment at the temperature and concentration
recommended by the disinfectant manufacturer.
10.
Remove the suction cleaning adapter from the disinfectant solution. Hold
the adapter and tilt it to expel the disinfectant solution remaining in the
adapter.
11.
Remove all equipment from the disinfectant solution.
