cleaning agents are used (pH 9.5 – 11.5) it is possible that
discolouring will take place on the metallic surface. This does not
cause the product to be inoperable. Strong alkaline cleaning agents
(pH > 11.5) are to be avoided.
The suitability of the product for effective cleaning/disinfection was
proven by BOWA with a machine method (90°C, 5 minutes) using an
alkaline cleaning agent with a surface-acting additive (neodisher
mediclean forte). The application of other (or non-equivalent)
cleaning agents or disinfection agents is made outside the area of
responsibility of the manufacturer. Only cleaning agents which have
a proven effectiveness are permitted to be used and which are
comparable with the applied system (disinfector and cleaning agent)
in the available examination.
When selecting the disinfector it is to be observed

that the disinfector has a certified effectiveness (e.g. DGHM or
FDA Approval, resp. CE certification mark according to DIN EN
ISO 15883),

that as far as possible a tested program for thermal disinfection
(at least 5 min at 90 °C or A
chemical disinfection there is a danger of disinfectant residue
on the instruments),

that the program used is suitable for the instruments and
contains sufficient rinsing cycles,

that only sterile or germ-free (max. 10 germs/ml) and
endotoxinfree (max. 0.25 endotoxin units/ml) rinsing water is
used,

that the air used for drying is filtered,

that the disinfector is regularly maintained and inspected.
When selecting the applied cleaning agent system it is to be
observed

that this is basically suitable for cleaning instruments,

that, as long as no thermal disinfection is used, additionally a
suitable disinfection agent with certified effectiveness is used
(e.g. DGHM or FDA Approval, resp. CE certification mark) and
that this is compatible with the applied cleaning agent,

that the chemicals used are compatible with the instruments.
It is imperative that the data given by the manufacturer of the
cleaning agent and disinfection agent concerning the specified
concentrations and effectiveness times be adhered to.
Sequence:
1. Place the instruments into the disinfector. Ensure that the cable is
not bent or squeezed.
2. Connect cavities to rinsing tubes and/or hoses to ensure adequate
flushing of the instrument. A lockable joint mechanism (e.g. Luer
Lock) can be used for reliable connection to the washing machine.
3. Start the program.
