Chapter 5 Reprocessing
5.3 Cleaning
When cleaning, avoid exposure to the
reprocessing chemicals. It may pose an
infection control risk or cause skin
irritation.
• When reprocessing, do not coil the
insertion portion with a diameter of less
than 20 cm. This could damage the
insertion portion.
• Never use excessive force to operate the
instrument. This could damage the
instrument.
Immersion
Immerse the instrument in detergent
solution immediately after use. If the
instrument is not cleaned immediately, it
may be difficult to effectively reprocess,
and this could result in reduced
performance.
Sealing device for
packages
Sealing the packages may require a device
such as a heat sealer. Prepare an
appropriate sealing device according to the
packages to be used.
Autoclave Use an autoclave that will operate at the
conditions specified in Section 5.5,
“Sterilization”.
