10.3 Manually disinfecting the accessories
• Completely remove all air bubbles from all equipment,
including inner channels. Air bubbles remaining on the
equipment prevent proper disinfection.
• All disinfection steps should be performed with all equipment
completely immersed. If any part of the equipment is not
immersed completely, disinfectant solution may not
adequately contact all surfaces.
Preparation
1.
Fill a clean basin or a container with the disinfectant solution at the
temperature and concentration recommended by the disinfectant
manufacturer.
2. Check the concentration of the disinfectant solution according to the
manufacturer’s instructions to verify that the concentration is above the
recommended minimum.
3. Completely immerse all accessories in the disinfectant solution.
4. While immersing the accessories completely in the disinfectant solution,
wipe the external surfaces of all accessories, using your gloved fingertips or
clean lint-free cloths to dispel any attached air bubbles.
Flush the accessories with disinfectant solution
Flush the Air/water channel cleaning adapter (MAJ-629)
1. While immersing the Air/water channel cleaning adapter completely in the
disinfectant solution, depress and release the piston of the adapter several
times. Confirm that no air bubbles exit from the adapter during these
actions.
2. If air bubbles exit, repeat Step 1 until no air bubbles exit.
