Product care / Surgical instrument cleaning guide
Immediate cleaning after use: Begin cleaning immediately after procedure to avoid drying of blood/tissue. Use sterile damp cloth or sponge and, when appropriate, moisture-retaining enzymatic sprays, gels or foams to prevent organic material from drying.
Safe handling and transportation: Transfer used instruments in sealed, puncture-resistant containers designed to prevent leakage and accidental exposure. Identify containers as biohazardous to reduce contamination risks.
Thorough manual cleaning: Scrub with soft cleaning brushes, approved detergents and lint-free cloths. Pay special attention to hinges, grooves, lumens, locking mechanisms and joints. Rinse thoroughly with purified water (distilled or deionized) to remove detergent residue.
Advanced mechanical cleaning: Use ultrasonic cleaners and automated washer-disinfectors as appropriate. Arrange instruments correctly within equipment and follow manufacturer instructions. Inspect mechanical cleaning equipment routinely.
Sterilization methods: Select sterilization method according to instrument type and manufacturer guidance. Common methods include steam sterilization, ethylene oxide gas, hydrogen peroxide plasma and dry heat sterilization.
Residue removal following sterilization: For gas sterilization, rinse instruments afterward with purified water to remove potential chemical residues.
Proper drying procedures: Allow instruments to cool/aerate after steam or gas sterilization. Ensure complete drying to prevent rust, corrosion or staining (use lint-free cloths or compressed air if needed).
Instrument lubrication: Apply medical-grade, water-soluble lubricants to hinges, joints and movable parts per manufacturer recommendations to maintain functionality and reduce wear.
Inspection and functional assessment: Inspect each instrument before packaging/storage for cleanliness, structural condition, operational performance and signs of wear, cracks, chips or damage. Use magnification when necessary. Remove and reprocess or repair defective instruments.
Sterile packaging: Use appropriate sterilization pouches, wraps or rigid containment systems. Seal packages securely and label with sterilization date, contents and tracking information.
Storage and shelf management: Store sterile instruments in a clean, dry, controlled environment; keep off the floor, avoid moisture and direct sunlight; use first-in, first-out inventory management.
Documentation and quality compliance: Maintain records of sterilization dates and cycle information, processing methods, equipment performance, operator details, biological monitoring/testing results and maintenance logs to ensure traceability and regulatory compliance.
