Manual cleaning and disinfection
Pay attention to following points during selection of
the cleaning and disinfection detergents:
- fundamental suitability for the cleaning and disin-
fection of instruments made of metallic or plastic
material
- in case of application of an ultrasonic bath: suitabil-
ity of the cleaning detergent for ultrasonic cleaning
(no foam development)
- application of a disinfectant with approved efficien-
cy (for example VAH/DGHM or FDA/EPA approval/
clearance/registration or CE marking) compatible
with the used cleaning detergent
- compatibility of the used detergents with the com-
ponents (see chapter „material resistance„)
Combined cleaning/disinfection detergents should not
be used.
Only in case of extremely low contamination (no vis-
ible impurities) combined cleaning/disinfection could
be used.
- Pay attention to the instructions of the detergent
manufacturers regarding concentration, temper-
ature and soaking time as well as post-rinsing.
Please use only freshly prepared solutions as well
as only sterile or low contaminated water (max. 10
germs/ml) as well as low endotoxin contaminated
water (max. 0.25 endotoxin units/ml), for example
purified/highly purified water, and a soft, clean, and
lint-free cloth and/or filtered air for drying, respec-
tively.

Procedure:
Cleaning
1. Soak the disassembled components for the given
soaking time in the cleaning solution so that the
components are sufficiently covered. Pay attention
that there is no contact between the components
and no remaining air in the cavities. Assist cleaning
by careful brushing with a soft brush and ultrasonic
treatment (duration at least once the required
soaking time in addition to brushing).
If applicable (see chapter Specific aspects):
Rinse all lumens of the components at least five
times at the beginning and at the end of the soak-
ing time by application of a single-use syringe (min-
imum volume 5 ml). Brush holes by use of a conical
interdental brush.
2. Then, remove the components of the cleaning
solution and post-rinse them at least three times
intensively (at least 1 min) with water.
If applicable (see chapter Specific aspects): Rinse
all lumens of the components at least five times at
the beginning and at the end of the soaking time
by application of a single-use syringe (minimum
volume 5 ml).
3. Check the components (see chapters „check„ and
„maintenance„).
Disinfection
4. Soak the disassembled components for the given
soaking time in the disinfectant solution so that the
components are sufficiently covered. Pay attention
that there is no contact between the components
and no remaining air in the cavities.
If applicable (see chapter Specific aspects):
Rinse all lumens of the components at least five
times at the beginning and at the end of the soak-
ing time by application of a single-use syringe (mini-
mum volume 5 ml).
