The following instructions apply to the manual cleaning of medical devices by
Tyromotion GmbH.
Thorough cleaning and wiping is essential for the first time and reuse of reusable medical
devices. Effective cleaning must be performed to achieve adequate decontamination.
The goal of cleaning is to remove any visibly sticky soil and reduce the number of particles
and microorganisms.
Cleaning must be carried out in a manner that minimizes the risks posed by pathogens.
The devices of the Tyromotion GmbH must be cleaned and disinfected after delivery
before the first and any further use on the patient.
4.5.2.1 Detergents and disinfectants
When selecting cleaning agents and disinfectants, it is essential to ensure that it is
suitable for cleaning and disinfecting medical devices and for acrylic glass. For this
purpose, cleaning agents and disinfectants based on ethanol, propanol, H2O2, chlorine
are suitable (for example Bacillol®, Bacillol® plus, INCIDIN extra, INCIDIN pro). Detergents
should be used at the concentration and duration recommended on the label and
product information. Each disinfectant has a specific exposure time (pay attention to the
label and product information before use) until the micro-organisms are rendered
harmless as far as possible. This interval is to wait before wiping.
4.5.2.2 water
The quality of the water should be carefully selected for use with cleaning agents and for
wiping during the cleaning process. The hardness of the water is crucial because deposits
left on the medical devices could result in ineffective cleaning and decontamination.
4.5.2.3 instruments
Clean, lint-free and non-abrasive cloths.
Do not use scouring agents, metal brushes or scouring pads.
