present an infection control risk.

Cleaning the insufflation tube (MAJ-590) and
suction tube (MAJ-591) prior to sterilization
• After each use, perform the following cleaning procedure
immediately. If cleaning is delayed, residual organic debris
will begin to solidify and it may be difficult to effectively
reprocess the equipment.
• Always wear personal protective equipment to assist in
reducing infection control risks and tissue irritation.
• Rinse thoroughly; residual detergent solution may cause
staining or corrosion.
