Warning
When choosing cleaning agents
and disinfectants, make sure
that:
- they are suitable for cleaning or
disinfecting instruments;
- you use a disinfectant with
proven efficacy (e.g. with VAH/
DGHM or FDA certification or
CE mark) and that the
disinfectant is compatible with
the cleaning agent;
- the chemicals used are
compatible with the accessories.
Combined cleaning/disinfection
products should only be used if
the instruments are only slightly
contaminated (no visible
contamination/remnants).
Comply with the concentrations
and contact times specified by
the manufacturers of the
cleaning agents and
disinfectants, as well as their
instructions regarding the
intensity of subsequent rinsing.
Use only freshly prepared
solutions, water that is sterile or
has a low microbe content (<
10 cfu/ml) and a low endotoxin
content (< 0.25 EU/ml, e.g.
purified water (PW/HPW)), and
filtered, oil-free air for drying.
Make sure that the accessories
are not in direct contact with one
another.
The hook mechanism has to be
activated during the cleaning
process, the rinsing process and
the ultrasonic bath cleaning
(press several times the push
button) to allow the inner parts to
be cleaned more effectively.
Make sure that the products are
fully immersed (if necessary, use
a soft brush to carefully brush
them down).
No visible impurities should be
observed on the accessories
