Supplement to Section 3 Use
The working ends of the instruments including the joint should be cleaned intraoperatively
after each instrument exchange between the operating personnel and the surgeon using a
physiological saline solution (Ringer's solution).
Following use, the instruments should be placed back, in open condition, into the storage tray
intended for this purpose, and returned to the CSSD for reprocessing.
