For instruments with flexible shafts, flex the instrument
under the rinse solution.
Drying Instructions
Dry the instrument immediately after final rinse. Use
filtered compressed air to dry internal areas. After drying
proceed to Inspection instructions.
INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING
• Inspect all instruments before sterilization or storage
to ensure the complete removal of soil from surfaces,
tubes and holes, moveable parts.
• If areas are difficult to inspect visually, check for blood
by immersing or flushing the instrument in a 3%
hydrogen peroxide solution. If bubbling is observed,
blood is present. Rinse instruments thoroughly after
using hydrogen peroxide solution.
• If soil is still present, reclean the instrument.
MAINTENANCE
Between uses, lubricate moving parts with a water-soluble
lubricant in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL TESTING
• Visually inspect the instrument and check for damage
and wear.
• Cutting edges should be free of nicks and have a
continuous edge.
• Jaws and teeth should align properly.
• Moveable parts should have smooth movement
without excessive play.
• Locking mechanisms should fasten securely and
close easily.
• Long, thin instruments should be free of bending and
distortion.
PACKAGING
• For instruments that are provided in sets, instrument
trays may be used for containment during sterilization.
• Package trays/instruments with a barrier wrap
material in accordance with local procedures, using
standardized wrapping techniques such as those
described in ANSI/AAMI ST46-1993.

may be placed in the general purpose area (pin-mat)
ensuring that the sterilant has adequate access to all
surfaces including difficult to reach areas, lumens, etc.
• Use a validated, properly maintained and calibrated
steam sterilizer.
