areas. Actuate any moveable mechanisms, such as 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 cleaning the area. For
instruments with flexible shafts, flex the instrument under the
cleaning solution.
Rinsing Instructions
Rinse the instrument thoroughly with filtered water at 38–49ºC,
agitate for a minimum of 1 minute; repeat rinse at least two
additional times. When rinsing, pay particular attention to flush
the cannulations, lumens, or holes with warm tap water. Also pay
particular attention to internal areas and moveable parts. Actuate
moveable parts while rinsing. If the components of the instrument
can be retracted, retract or open the part while rinsing the area.
For instruments with flexible shafts, flex the instrument under the
rinse solution.
Drying Instructions
Dry the instrument immediately after final rinse. Use filtered
compressed air to dry internal areas. After drying proceed to
Inspection instructions.
INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING
• Inspect all instruments before sterilization or storage to ensure
the complete removal of soil from surfaces, tubes and holes,
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 thoroughly after using hydrogen peroxide solution.
• If soil is still present, reclean the instrument.
MAINTENANCE
Between uses, lubricate moving parts with a water-soluble lubricant
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL TESTING
• Visually inspect the instrument and check for damage and wear.
• Cutting edges should be free of nicks and have a
continuous edge.
• Jaws and teeth should align properly.
• Moveable parts should have smooth movement without
excessive play.
• Locking mechanisms should fasten securely and close easily.
• Long, thin instruments should be free of bending and distortion.
PACKAGING
• For instruments that are provided in sets, instrument trays may
be used for containment during sterilization.
• Package trays/instruments with a barrier wrap material in
accordance with local procedures, using standardized wrapping
techniques such as those described in ANSI/AAMI ST46-1993.
STERILIZATION
• Use a validated, properly maintained and calibrated
steam sterilizer.
