Cleaning Inspection
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
•
Inspect all instruments before sterilization or storage to ensure the complete removal of soil from
surfaces, lumens, holes, and 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 for
a minimum of 1 minute with warm, 85°F – 104°F (30°C – 40°C), tap water after using hydrogen
peroxide solution.
•
If soil is still present, re-clean the instrument.
Disinfection
Instruments must be terminally sterilized prior to surgical use. See Sterilization instructions.
Maintenance
Carefully inspect instruments between uses to verify proper functioning. Send damaged instruments
to a supplier of authorized repair or refurbishment services.
Inspection and Functional Testing
•
Visually inspect the instruments for damage and wear.
•
The dilators should be free of bending and distortion.
Packaging

If desired, use instrument trays to contain instruments that are provided in sets.
•
Double wrap instruments in accordance with local procedures, using standard wrapping techniques

Cycle Type

Pre-Vacuum*
•
Post-sterilization drying of the sterilization load within the sterilization vessel is standard practice
in hospitals. ANSI/AAMI ST79:2006, "Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility
assurance in health care facilities" provides guidance to hospitals for selecting appropriate drying
parameters based on the sterilization cycle that is being conducted. Sterilizer manufacturers also
typically provide recommendations for drying parameters for their specific equipment.
