6. When the cycle is complete, remove the instruments from the machine and dry them.
(The RKI recommends the use of pressurized air). When drying instrument stands, take
special care to dry the hard to reach areas.
7. Visually inspect the instruments with a magnifying glass to check for damaged parts
and cleanliness. (In our experience, a magnifier with 8-times magnification is the
optimal tool for performing such visual inspections.) If residual contaminants are still
visible after completion of the mechanical preparation procedure, repeat the cleaning
and disinfection procedure until no contaminants are evident on the instruments.
If only mechanical preparation methods are to be used (without provable
disinfection), a final thermal disinfection procedure in a steam sterilizer
using suitable instrument stands or baskets is required.
Single-use blades and handles are only intended to be used one single time and
may therefore not be cleaned or prepared for reuse!
