Prior to use, inspect device to ensure proper function, insulation
and condition. Do not use devices if they do not satisfactorily
perform their intended function or have physical damage.
Only the cleaning and sterilization processes which are defined
within these instructions for use have been validated.
Use only neutral pH (6-8) detergent solutions.
Pre-processing Instructions
Initiate cleaning of device within 2 hours of use.
Transport devices via the institution's established transport
procedure.
Remove excess gross soil as soon as possible after use by
rinsing or wiping the device.
All devices must be processed in the completely open position
(i.e. flushports, jaws, etc.) to allow solution contact of all surfaces.
Manual Cleaning
1. Ensure all pre-processing instructions are followed prior to
cleaning.
2. Prepare the enzymatic / neutral pH detergent solution,
utilizing tap water with a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C
(81°F to 111°F), per manufacturer's instructions.
3. Place device in the open/relaxed position, with flush port
open, and completely immerse in the detergent solution and
allow device to soak for a minimum of 5 minutes. Actuate
all movable parts during the initiation of the soak time.
4. Using a soft bristled brush and cleaning stylet, remove all
visible soil from the device. Actuate device while brushing,
paying particular attention to hinges, crevices and other
difficult to clean areas. Note: It is recommended that the
detergent solution is changed when it becomes grossly
contaminated (bloody and/or turbid).
5. For lumen devices, use a soft bristled brush and cleaning
stylet with a brush diameter and length that is equivalent to
lumen diameter and length. Scrub the lumen (i.e.
angulated/nonangulated positions) until no visible soil is
detected in the lumen rinsing step below.
6. For lumen devices, place the device into the open/relaxed
position with the distal tip pointed down. Flush the device
with a minimum of 50 ml of detergent solution utilizing a
temperature range of 27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F), by
using the flushing port located on the handle/shaft. Repeat
the flush process a minimum of 2 times (i.e. total of 3
times), ensuring all fluid exiting the lumen is clear of soil.
7. For lumen devices, if visible soil is detected during the final
lumen flush, re-perform brushing and flushing of the lumen.
8. Rinse the device by completely immersing in tap water with
a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C (81°F to 111°F), for a
minimum of 30 seconds to remove any residual detergent
or debris.
9. For lumen devices, following the rinsing step, place the
device into the open/relaxed position with the distal tip
pointed down. Flush the device with a minimum of 50 ml of
tap water utilizing a temperature range of 27°C to 44°C
(81°F to 111°F), by using the flushing port located on the
handle/shaft. Repeat the flush process a minimum of 2
times (i.e. total of 3 times).
10. Dry the device with a clean, lint-free towel.
11. For lumen devices, manipulate the device to allow rinse
water to drain from the lumen.
12. Visually examine each device for cleanliness.
13. If visible soil remains, repeat cleaning procedure.
