3. Drying:
a. Dry all items thoroughly.
b. Ensure ALL moisture is removed from all internal parts (including lumens). If not, residual H2O2 may
remain at cycle completion and/or a cycle Abort occurs.
c. Only dry items are to be placed in Sterilization Unit.
NOTE: One acceptable lumen drying method is to blow compressed air through the lumen until no
moisture exits at the lumen distal end. Refer to device manufacturer drying instructions or contact
manufacturer for specific guidance and instructions.
4. Inspecting:
a. Visually inspect all items for cleanliness after this cleaning process.
b. If visual soil or moisture is discovered, clean again and dry prior to sterilization.
c. Also inspect for flaws or damage. All damaged devices or instruments should be replaced or repaired
before using.
NOTE: As with any disinfectant/cleaning/sterilization process, a periodic careful inspection of the devices
after repeated exposure to the disinfectant/cleaner/sterilant is necessary to observe for potential
damaging effects of the chemical agent on the devices.
