
After cleaning, careful rinsing and manual drying is necessary.

Do not use metal brushes or scouring agents.

5.4.2 Mechanical cleaning


Mechanical cleaning of the containers is only recommended if the washer/desinfector
has a special programme for aluminum containers. When mechanically cleaning the
containers, it is absolutely essential to observe the specifications of the
washer/desinfector manufacturers and their instructions for the cleaning of containers.

Only use neutral cleaners or neutral cleaners and disinfectants for cleaning. Do not
use any cleaning solutions containing soda or caustic soda

No additional use of acidic neutralizers

Use neutral cleaners only with aluminum containers, which have been expressly
approved by the manufacturer for the cleaning of aluminum containers. The exact
dose of the cleaner is to be used as specified by the manufacturing company. With an
optimisation of the program these products are also suitable for cleaning surgical
instruments

Fully demineralised water has to be used for final rinsing, as the salts in the water
during the subsequent sterilisation can also lead to spotting

The container lid and bottom need to be cleaned separated from each other.

The container bottom needs to be placed upside down in the washer/desinfector to
avoid the collection of water.

The inside of the container lid should face the machine-bottom with the latching
mechanism folded into the inner part of the lid.

All component parts of the container (bottom, lid, filterholders...) should be
disassembled and placed in the washer/desinfector baskets that are specially
designed for containers and accessories.

After the washing/desinfection program is finished, the container and accessories
need to be dried with a soft dry cloth or by air.

Contaminations that cannot be removed in a normal cleaning cycle independent of the
process (sticky labels, indicator strips, writing), can be removed with anodic cleaners.
After this special treatment, the containers should be cleaned as usual

5.4.3 Recommended cleaning method

We recommend the following cleaning method wich was validated by HEBUmedical in a
suitable cleaning and disinfection unit (Miele PG 8528) with the following settings:

1 min pre-wash with cold water

3 minutes Mediclean clean with 0.5% (Dr. Weigert) at 45 ° C

neutralization with demineralized water

5.5 Testing

The sterilisation containers have to be checked every time before use to ensure their correct
functionality.
If any damage of closing device, seals, filter holders, filters or any bent and dented parts
occur, these container parts need to be taken out of circulation and must be returned for
repair. Do not use any damaged sterilisation containers.
