Cleaning
Any part can be cleaned manually or automatically by washer or disinfector. EMS recommends the
use of an ISO 15883 compliant automatic washer-disinfector (WD) for an optimal effectiveness and
part service life.
DO NOT use any Ultrasound Bath cleaning procedure with the PIEZON

handpieces: it may destroy the products.
Manual Cleaning (without ultrasound bath)
Automated Cleaning
The following validated process can be used
with any EMS part:
• Remove away any surface soiling (gross
contamination) on the product with a
wetted cloth and tap water.
• Brush the devices in a cleaning solution
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
care that all lumens are filled with
cleaning solution (use a syringe if
needed). All surfaces must be
moistened.
• Rinse all lumens flushing with a spray
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).
The washer-disinfector
shall comply with
ISO 15883 standard,
must have suitable
baskets to hold small fragile products and must
have rinsing connections
with diameter of
approximately 16mm
for the attachment to
product lumen.
Correctly place the instrument into a suitable
rack
, connect all lumens to the rinsing
connectors and start the automated cleaning
.

Professional G 7836 CD having Miele Rack
E429) automated cleaning process
can be
used:
• 2 minutes pre-washing with cold water.
