PREPARATION FOR CLEANING
• Clean instruments as soon as possible after use. If
cleaning must be delayed, wet the instruments in
a compatible liquid solution to prevent drying and
encrustation of surgical soil.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to saline to minimize the
chance of corrosion.
• Remove excessive soil with a disposable wipe. Prior
to sterilization, instruments should be cleaned by
either automated or manual means described below.
AUTOMATED CLEANING
Instrument types with such complex design features
as cannulations, lumens, (i.e. tubes), holes, hinged
joints, box locks, spring-loaded retractable features,
or flexible shafts; must be manually pre-cleaned prior
to automated cleaning to improve the removal of
adherent soil.
Pre-Cleaning Instructions
• Flush internal areas with a warm detergent solution.
Pay close attention to lumens, cannulations,
holes, threads, crevices, seams, and any hard to
reach areas. While flushing, actuate any moveable
mechanisms, (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 flushing the area.
