Reprocessing Instruction

Recommendation by RKI
Medical devices that are contaminated with pathogens can be a source of infection for humans.
Thus, the use of such medical devices requires previous reprocessing, for which defined requirements
have been defined by Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
Before reprocessing, it is necessary:
• to verify the product compatibility with the reprocessing method to be used
• to check how often the reprocessing has to be performed
• to perform a biological risk assessment in order to determine the classification of the medical device
Once performed, reprocessing shall comprise the following individual steps to be performed according
to the classification of the instruments:
• Proper preparation
• Inspection
• Cleaning
• Disinfection
• Maintenance and repair
• Functional testing
• Identification
• Packaging
• Sterilization
This document will only address Preparation, Cleaning and Disinfection with regards to intended use
