Regarding cleaning/disinfection, rinsing and drying, it is to distinguish between
manual and automated reprocessing methods. Preference is to be given to
automated reprocessing methods, especially due to the better standardizing
potential and industrial safety.
Automated Cleaning:
Carefully put the components into the washer-disinfector on a tray and set the
parameters as follows, then start the program:
x 4 min pre-washing with cold water (<40°C);
x
emptying
x 5 min washing with a mild alkaline cleaner at 55°C;
x
emptying
x 3 min neutralising with warm water (>40°C);
x
emptying
x
5 min intermediate rinsing with warm water (>40°C);
x
emptying
The automated cleaning processes have been validated by using 0.5%
neodisher MediClean forte (Dr. Weigert).
Note Acc. to EN ISO 17664 no manual reprocessing methods are required for
these devices. If a manual reprocessing method has to be used, please validate
it prior to use.
1. Use only approved washer-disinfectors according to EN ISO 15883,
maintain and calibrate it regularly.
2. Follow instructions and observe concentrations given by the manufacturer
(see general recommendations).
Disinfection:
Automated Thermal Disinfection in washer/disinfector under consideration of
national requirements in regards to A0 value (see EN ISO 15883).
A disinfection cycle of 5 min disinfection at 93°C has been validated for the
device to achieve an A0 value of 3000.
After manual cleaning, the instruments should be automated disinfected or
