CLEANING AND STERILIZATION INSTRUCTIONS
These cleaning and sterilization instructions have been validated for
preparing reusable instruments for reuse. It is the responsibility of
the end user to ensure that the cleaning and sterilization is actually
performed using appropriate equipment, materials, and personnel
to achieve the desired result. This normally requires validation
and routine monitoring of the process. Any deviation from these
instructions should be evaluated for effectiveness and potential
adverse consequences.
PREPARATION
• Clean instruments as soon as possible after use. If cleaning
must be delayed, wet the instruments in a compatible liquid
solution to prevent drying and encrustation of surgical soil.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to saline to minimize the chance
of corrosion.
• Remove excessive soil with a disposable wipe.
Prior to sterilization, instruments should be cleaned by either
automated or manual means described below.
