• Ultrasonically clean the instrument for a minimum
of 10 minutes in neutral pH detergent, prepared in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
(ultrasound bath frequency: 50-60Hz).
Rinsing Instructions
Rinse the instrument thoroughly with filtered water at
38–49°C, 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, re-clean the instrument.
MAINTENANCE
Between uses, lubricate moving parts with a
water-soluble lubricant in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL
