Disassembling
Equipment
Completely remove the
swivel adaptor from any
components. The swivel
adaptor itself cannot be
disassembled any further.
Cleaning – Manual Equipment: Water, Neutral pH
Detergent, Soft Bristle Brush, Towels
Method
1. Prepare neutral pH enzymatic detergent solution (e.g.
Endozime® AW Triple Plus with APA (Ruhof), 1:128 ratio)
according to detergent manufacturer's instructions
using lukewarm tap water.
2. Prepare equipment for soaking by disassembling
removable parts and loosening connections.
3. Rinse equipment in warm water before placing into
bath.
4. Completely soak equipment in water/detergent
solution for 30 minutes maximum.
5. Clean thoroughly with a soft nylon bristle brush. NOTE
– If possible, use a disposable brush.
6. Rinse in warm purified water until all visible substances
and residual detergent are removed. NOTE – Make sure
to give special attention to hard-to-reach areas.
7. Thoroughly dry equipment with soft clean towels
and use medically compressed air if needed, to dry
channels, crevices and lumens.
8. Inspect the equipment to make sure there is no visible
organic debris or residue from cleaning agent.
Repeat process if any soil is detected.
Drying
• Products should be dry at this point. If wetness or
excess liquid is detected, dry with a soft clean towel.
• Medically compressed air can be used if needed.
Optional Automatic Wash / Disinfect
CAUTIONS
• Alkaline and highly acidic detergents and solutions
cause damage to the devices.
• Channels and crevices found on these devices require
particular attention during cleaning.
• Pay special attention to the water quality used
throughout reprocessing. Hard water can damage
the surface of the equipment. Avoid using hard water.
Instead use purified water unless otherwise specified.
Limitations on Reprocessing
• Repeated processing has negative effects on these
devices and is not recommended for routine use.
Inspecting for
Cleanliness
Inspect the teeth of
the starbursts, the area
around the locking screw,
and the base of the swivel
adaptor for organic debris.
• It is important to have Integra NeuroSpecialists
perform routine inspections (twice yearly is
recommended).
