the detergent.
•
Brush any lumens a minimum of 5 times from each end, using an appropriate bottle
brush.
•
Brush any movable parts in all extreme positions.
2. Rinse
•
Rinse the device with reverse osmosis/de-ionized (RO/DI) water at ambient temperature
until all detergent residue is removed. Flush any lumens or mated surfaces a minimum
of 5 times. Once all detergent residue is removed, continue to rinse for a minimum of 30
seconds.
•
Drain excess water from the device and dry it using a clean cloth or pressurized air.

•
Fully immerse the device and use a syringe to inject any lumens and mated surfaces with
50mL of the detergent.
•
Soak the device for a minimum of 15 minutes.
4. Brush
•
Thoroughly brush the exterior of the device using a soft-bristled brush.
