of 0.5% neodisher MediClean (Dr.
Weigert Hamburg) in deionized water at
40°C with a suitable soft bristled brush
(Medisafe MED100.33) until all visible
residues have been removed.
• For parts having lumens, flush all lumens
with a spray gun (water jet gun, with a
static water pressure of 2 bar) with cold
tap water for 15 seconds.
• Immerse the part in 0.5% solution of
neodisher MediClean with deionized
water for 15 minutes at 40°C. Taken

gun (water jet gun, with a static water
pressure of 2 bar) with cold deionized
water for 15 seconds, and further rinse
the whole part under cold running
deionized water for 10 seconds.
• Using an air pistol (compressed air) fully
dry the lumen and the whole part until no
more residues of water are present
(visible or detectable).
