English version

Application date : 2015-12-09 Reference document: CI_01EN

b. Manual Pre-Cleaning
The pre-cleaning step can be ommitted in case of direct subsequent manual cleaning and disinfection. In case of
highly contaminated medical devices to be subjected to an automatic cleaning process, pre-cleaning in an ultrasonic
bath is recommended.
 Remove gross soil using wipes and solution of cleaning agent.
 Immerse re-usable instruments in solution of cleaning agent.
 Ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly wet.
 Use a syringe to ensure that the cleaning solution reaches all cannulated parts.

 Ensure that air is not trapped within cannulas or voids of the device when immersed in the solution.
 Soak for minimum recommended time by the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.
 Using suitable soft bristle brush, clean the instrument thoroughly, paying particular attention to rough surfaces
as threads, cannulated parts, joints and difficult access areas where soil may be impacted or shielded from the
cleaning process.
 Use a bottle brush of appropriate diameter and length for cannulation. Ensure that the brush passes the whole
length of each cannulation. Otherwise, the instrument is not conform and not re-usable; please contact your
SpineVision representative for an exchange.
 Rinse in running water / tap water for at least 2 minutes, and until all traces of cleaning solution are removed.
 Visually inspect for any remaining soil and repeat the steps above if necessary.
 Allow to drain on absorbent paper or transfer immediately to cleaning step.

c. Automated Cleaning

 Load the re-usable instruments into the automatic washer.
 Avoid contact between devices as it could diminish the efficacy of cleaning process.
 Arrange re-usable instruments so that cannulations are not horizontal and blind holes inclined downwards to
help drainage.

 Articulating devices should be opened.
 Operate the washer-disinfector cycle, using a neutral pH cleanser. See the following table “Automatic Washing
Cycle Steps and Parameters”

 Visually inspect each device for remaining soil and dryness. If soil remains, repeat the cleaning process.
Remaining wetness may be removed with filtered, compressed air or clean, lint-free wipes.
