Rinsing
As soon as possible, rinse and clean as follows.
1. Remove organic materials by rinsing, instruments under warm (not hot) running water. Rinse should remove most blood, fluids, and
tissue. Do not process dissimilar metals (stainless, copper, chrome plated, anodized aluminum, etc.) together.
2. Assure residue is rinsed fully off of device to prevent the potential for stain and rust formation.
Cleaning
Cleaning should occur as soon as possible after instrumentation is pre-cleaned.
Process cannulated devices in Manual or Ultrasonic Cleaning.
For disinfection, use the thermal disinfection cycle on the Automated Washer/Disinfector.
All dried blood, dried body fluids and tissue should be completely removed from the instrument prior to sterilization. All Instruments
should be cleaned in an open and unlocked position.
1. To aid in removing organic material from instruments, prepare an enzymatic cleaner bath (soak) using solutions such as
Integra Miltex EZ-Zyme* or Integra Miltex Surgical Instrument Cleaner*.
2. Prepare solution at concentration of 1:68 (1.875oz/gal; 15mL/L) in lukewarm water.
3. Instruments should be fully submerged for at least 10 minutes.
NOTE 1: Do not let retractors touch each other. Ensure that dissimilar metals instruments are separated.
4. Rinse instruments under running water to remove solutions and change cleaning solutions frequently.
Manual Cleaning Procedure: If ultrasonic cleaning is not available, observe the following steps:
1. Use only neutral pH (7) detergents such as Integra Miltex Surgical Instrument Cleaner*.
2. Disassemble any components that are supposed to be loosened so that the soaking solution can have exposure to effectively work.
3. Use only soft bristled brushes to gently clean the device paying particular attention to crevices, serrated surfaces, tubes, cannulas,
mated surfaces, and other hard-to-clean areas.
Note 2: Never use steel wool, wire brushes, scalpel blades or highly abrasive detergent/cleaners to remove soil as these will damage
the instruments surface and lead to corrosion.
4. Brush delicate instruments carefully, and if possible, separate them from general instruments. Hinged areas, mechanical locks, and
cannulas should be cleaned with a long narrow soft bristled lint free brush (i.e. pipe cleaner brushes).
5. Remove the device from the enzyme solution and rinse, while doing so, thoroughly flush and rinse hinged areas, mechanical locks,
cannulas, holes and other difficult to reach areas with tap water for at least 3 minutes. Lumens and tubes should be clean on
the inside.
6. Rinse the instrument with tap water thoroughly, until there is no sign of blood or soil in the rinse stream and/or on the device.
7. Ensure the instrument surfaces are visibly clean and are free from stains and tissue.
8. Dry internal areas with filtered compressed air and/or dry the instrument with a clean, absorbent non-shedding wipe.
9. Place instruments in an instrument tray/container for sterilization.
Ultrasonic Cleaner:
1. Immerse instrument in an open, unlocked position using deionized (de-mineralized) water.
2. Process instruments for the full recommended ultrasonic cleaning cycle.
3. Rinse instruments with water to remove the cleaning solution.
4. Dry internal areas with filtered compressed air and/or dry the instrument with a clean, absorbent non-shedding wipe.
5. Place instruments in an instrument tray/container for sterilization.
