Cleaning after Use

WARNING Reproc-w3
Immediately after use, you must pre-clean the device until visually clean (including
device lumens if existing). Conduct the thorough cleaning process as soon as
possible after use in order to prevent bioburden drying on the surface. Dried
bioburden can lead to inefficient cleaning, disinfection and sterilization, causing a
risk of cross-contamination.
If pre- and thorough cleaning cannot be done immediately, keep the device moist until
cleaning.
Use a suitable brush to make sure that biological material and gel are removed from
all channels and grooves. See Care and Cleaning for cleaning instructions.
