Dry internal areas with fi ltered
compressed air.
Follow the steps in the section Manual
Cleaning – A. ALL INSTRUMENTS.
When cleaning, fully immerse the
instrument in the cleaning solution
to avoid aerosol generation. Brush
with a soft non-metallic bristle brush to
remove all traces of blood and debris.
Pay close attention to threads, crevices,
seams, and any hard to reach areas.
Actuate any moveable mechanisms, such
as hinged joints, box locks, or spring-
loaded features, to free trapped blood
and debris. If the components of the
instrument can be retracted, retract or
open the part while cleaning the area. For
instruments with fl exible shafts, fl ex the
instrument under the cleaning solution.
When rinsing; pay particular attention
to internal areas and moveable parts.
Actuate moveable parts while rinsing.
If the components of the instrument can
be retracted, retract or open the part
while rinsing the area. For instruments
with fl exible shafts, fl ex the instrument
under the rinse solution.
Dry internal areas with fi ltered
compressed air.
For instrument types with complex
design features, such as those described
in Manual Cleaning sections B. and C.
above, it is important to manually clean
prior to automated processing to improve
the removal of adherent soil. Brush the
instrument, actuate mechanisms, agitate
and/or irrigate under the surface of the
cleaning solution to prevent the creation
of aerosols.
Clean, using the "INSTRUMENTS" cycle
in a validated washer disinfector and a pH
neutral cleaning agent intended for use
in automated cleaning. The cleaning cycle
should incorporate enzyme pre-wash,
wash, rinse, thermal rinse, and drying steps.
