2a. Lay units in a clean pan. Prepare an enzymatic detergent
solution as recommended by the manufacturer. Add a
sufficient amount of prepared solution to the pan to
completely cover the instruments.
2b. Let the instruments soak for the recommended amount of
time. This will reduce blood, protein, and mucus from the
instruments.
3.
Rinse the hardware in lukewarm tap water. Use a mild
enzymatic detergent and a soft brush to remove resistant
debris and bioburden from all surfaces.
4.
Clean out interior spaces and guidance channels with an
appropriate brush or cleaning pistol.
5.
Rinse off all soap residue with water. I I f f c c l l e e a a n n i i n n g g f f l l e e x x i i b b l l e e

5a. Immerse the instruments in a combination "milking" and
mild detergent solution. This will prevent premature wear or
instrument failure by lubricating the internal components.
Follow the solution manufacturer's recommended
concentrations, temperatures, and exposure times.
C C a a u u t t i i o o n n : : Do not use strong acidic or alkaline pH
solutions, as instrument damage could result.
5b. Brush all instrument surfaces in both open and closed
positions with a clean, soft-bristled, hand-held brush, keeping
the instrument immersed in the cleaning solution while you
brush. Brush any instrument channels or lumens thoroughly.
