Cleaning: Manual Method; Cleaning: Automated Method; Disinfection; Drying - On-X ONXI2 Modo De Empleo

Enzymatic Detergent prepared with one (1) ounce to one (1) gallon tap water). Using a soft
bristle brush, clean the instrument thoroughly, removing all visible soil. Enzyme products will
not degrade the instruments. Rinse in warm running tap water until all traces of cleaning
solution are removed. Repeat if necessary to remove all visible soil.

Cleaning: Manual Method

Wash all surfaces of the instrument with a prepared neutral, non enzymatic detergent
solution (for example, Luminox at the manufacturers specified concentration) and a soft
bristled brush until all visible traces of debris are removed.
Rinse instrument with water to remove all visible traces of detergent residue, rinse blind
holes repeatedly.
Visually inspect instrument for any remaining soil or detergent residue. If found repeat
cleaning procedure using fresh solution.

Cleaning: Automated Method

Place instruments in an automated washer (e.g. Steris 444 Washer/Disinfector or equivalent).
Load instruments such that contact is avoided. For reference, a validated set of cleaning
process parameters is given below:

Visually inspect each instrument for remaining soil or moisture. If soil remains, repeat the
cleaning process. If instruments are wet, use filtered compressed air or a lint-free wipe to dry.
WARNING: Do not expose instruments with plastic components to temperatures
at or above 350°F (177°C), otherwise damage to plastic components may occur.
Disinfection - Use of chemical disinfectants is not required, although permissible. If used,
chemical disinfectants such as alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine and gluteraldehyde
will not damage or degrade the instruments. Disinfectants other than alcohol must be
thoroughly rinsed from the surface of the instruments after use.
Disinfectants that contain phenolic, ammonium compounds, acetone, iodophors or
formaldehyde should not be used to disinfect the instruments.
Drying - Do not expose instruments with plastic components to temperatures at or above
350°F (177°C), otherwise damage to plastic components may occur.
Inspection - Visually inspect instruments for damage and excessive wear. Sizers and
instrument handles have bendable stems. Repeated bending of the stems may cause
metal fatigue which can be seen in the form of readily apparent surface cracks on the stem.
