accordance to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Soak soiled instruments for a minimum of 10
minutes. Do not exceed 30°C.
• When cleaning, fully immerse the instrument in
the cleaning solution to avoid aerosol generation.
Use a soft bristle brush to remove all traces of
blood and debris; pay close attention to any hard
to reach areas, textured surfaces, or crevices.
When cleaning Instruments with cannulations or
lumens (i.e. tubes), or holes, use a tight-fitting, soft,
non-metallic cleaning brush or pipe cleaner to scrub
the cannula, lumen, or hole. Push in and out, using
a twisting motion to remove debris. Use a syringe
filled with enzymatic cleaning solution to flush hard
to reach internal areas. When cleaning articulating
instruments, (those with moveable parts), brush with
a soft non-metallic bristle brush to remove all traces
of blood and debris.
• Pay close attention to threads, crevices, seams,
and any hard to reach 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.
