8.2. Rinsing
• Always use potable water for rinsing. If the water
is heated, its temperature should be between 30ºC
and 40ºC (86ºF and 104ºF).
• Rinse abundantly the external surface of the case
with drinking water. With the help of a brush (soft
brittle), scrub the case under running water to
complete the removal of residue.
• In case there is a lumen, rinse the internal surface of
the lumens injecting potable water at least 5 times.
• Never use saline, especially sodium hypochlorite
(bleach)
and
saline
solution,
oxygenated water or alcohol for cleaning or rinsing
surgical instruments.
8.3. Drying
• Never let the case dry naturally.
• Always use a clean, soft, absorbing and disposable
cloth that is lint and residue free on the instrument.
8.4. Inspection
• Verify the presence of dirt on the cloth used for
drying.
• Verify the presence of dirt visible to the naked eye,
analyzing the case from proximal to distal.
• In case any dirt is detected on the cloth or in the
instruments in the inspection step, repeat the
cleaning procedure.
8.5. Sterilization
• The physical sterilization of pieces must be carried
out through humid heat (autoclave), according
to the orientations of the manufacturer, whose
equipment must have the certification from the
Government Health Authority.
• Use distilled water in the autoclave so that the
resulting vapor is free of impurities.
• Surgical instruments, when necessary, must be
disposed in perforated "container type" boxes,
and those boxes must be inserted in disposable
packages such as "surgical grade paper", and
sealed in sealers that allow for a sealing width of at
least 6mm.
• Do not open the autoclave prematurely to avoid
fast condensation.
• Carry out the sterilization in the vapor autoclave,
selecting one sterilization cycle:
• Cycle temperature of 134°C/273,2°F;
• Sterilization cycle duration: 10 minutes;
disinfectants,
• Pressure: 2,0 kgf/cm
• Drying time: 25 minutes.
• Clean the autoclave rigorously and periodically,
removing dirt and the possible excess iron oxide
(rust).
• For stainless steel instruments, one should NOT:
• Use disinfectants or cleaning products with a
high concentration of chloride;
• Use disinfectants or cleaning products with oxalic
acid.
• What is not recommended:
• Excessively high concentrations of solvents,
disinfectants and cleaning products with high
concentrations of the above mentioned chemical
products;
• Excessively high temperatures when doing
mechanical cleaning. Never above 140°C/284°F.
