CLEANING AND STERILIZATION
4.2.2 Pre-Cleaning
The "pre-cleaning" cycle is optional and preparatory to the chosen cleaning method (manual or
automatic) and is recommended in the following cases:
• if the accessories to be cleaned are
particularly contaminated and/or dirty;
• if a considerable time has passed since
last use and pre-cleaning.
The person in charge of reprocessing activities
will assess the need for a possible pre-cleaning
cycle according to the conditions of the
accessories, tools and specic requirements.
4.2.2.1 Materials Required
• Enzymatic detergent (Mectron
ENZYMEC, 0.8% v/v);
• Water;
• Container for immersion in the
enzymatic liquid;
• Clean, soft cloths with low ber-release;
• Brush with soft nylon bristles;
• Syringe;
• Demineralised water.
CAUTION: If you wish to disinfect, we
recommend that you use water-based
disinfectant solutions with a neutral pH

and hydrogen peroxide are contra-indicated,
because they can fade the color and/or
damage the plastic materials. This also holds
true for chemical products such as acetone
and alcohol. Always rinse with sterile water to
preserve the disinfection.
CAUTION: Do not use hydrogen
peroxide. If you wish to disinfect the
accessories, do not use hydrogen peroxide,
but only disinfectants with neutral pH (pH7);
always rinse with sterile water to preserve the
disinfection.
