1. Disassembly
Separate all individual parts before cleaning, disinfecting and steri-
lising�
2. Cleaning
Clean components in hot water (60–70 °C) containing a detergent
with a pH range between 6�0 and 8�0 only, in order to avoid dam-
aging the instruments and containment devices� Enzymatic deter-
gents help with the removal of organic matter, such as blood�
Detergents should be used according to their manufacturer's rec-
ommended concentration levels� Some alkaline detergents have
been formulated to be safe for reprocessing medical devices� The
manufacturers of these detergents should provide information
about specific materials that may be damaged by their detergents�
Soak all parts thoroughly with warm, soapy water or in enzymatic
detergent for 1–5 minutes�
1. Remove visible dirt with a cleaning tool – general purpose clean-
ing brushes, such as pipe cleaners or non-abrasive lint cloths�
Brushes and pipe cleaners should fit snugly but still be able to be
moved around easily within the area to be cleaned� Rinse thor-
oughly in clear water� Allow to dry
