CLEANING AND CARE:

Initial Recommendations:

• Perform a visual and mechanical inspection of new surgical instruments.
• Visible dirt should be removed as soon as possible to prevent residue from drying.
• Avoid long waiting times for cleaning and disinfection of the instruments.

Manual Pre-Cleaning:

• Initially, wash by hand with neutral soap.
• In the operating room, remove the most visible dirt as soon as possible to prevent incrustations that can cause corrosion.
• Avoid long waiting times for reprocessing (<1h).
• Dry cleaning is preferable since medical devices can corrode if submerged for long periods in solutions.
• If dry cleaning is insufficient, wash with cold water (<40ºC), including cavities, grooves, and hard-to-reach holes, which should be cleaned with pressurized water. Avoid leaving uncleaned areas. Use a soft-bristle plastic brush.
• Thoroughly dry with an absorbent cloth that leaves no residue or with compressed air.

Cleaning and Disinfection:

• Immerse the products in a solution of distilled water with an appropriate disinfectant in an ultrasonic bath or tank.
• Follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions for selecting the washing program, temperature, and time.
• Clean instruments with movable joints in the open position or move the joints to avoid "shadow areas." Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for disassembling removable instruments.
• Place the instruments with minimal separation in the cleaning container and avoid overlapping to prevent damage caused by impacts.
• At the end of the disinfection program, rinse thoroughly with cold distilled water, paying special attention to cavities, grooves, and hard-to-reach holes, if possible using pressurized water.
• Thoroughly dry with an absorbent cloth that leaves no residue or with compressed air.

Lubrication:

• Use Sterilit Instrument Protector (ref. 13.859.1 and 13.859.2) to protect the instrument.
• Attach the white plastic tube provided with the spray and apply the aerosol oil directly to the joint area or hard-to-reach spots.
• Open and close the instrument several times to evenly distribute the oil and remove excess oil with a lint-free cloth. Then proceed to sterilize the instruments as the oil film is steam-permeable. It acts as a lubricant and anticorrosive without leaving stains on the instruments.

Sterilization:

• Sterilize the products following the relevant national requirements.
• Sterilization should be carried out in an appropriate sterilization container.
