• Cleaning
 Instructions: Cleaning: All instruments must be cleaned to remove contaminated substances before sterilization. After each use, perform an initial cleaning within the sterile field by wiping the tool or instrument free of blood and body fluids. Then clean the instrument thoroughly with a mild soapy solution. Do not use alkaline-based cleaners. Complete preparation for sterilization by hospital procedure using an approved cleaning agent. Do not run any type of abrasive materials or steel brushes through the lumen of the tool. The abrasive material can score the inside of the tool, rendering them inefficient. After flushing, the instrument needs to be well-rinsed with warm to hot water. Visually inspect each instrument to ensure all fatty deposits are removed. All instruments should be cleaned and rinsed with mild, non-abrasive, grease-removing cleaners before they are sterilized. Gulmaher Instruments recommends that during the cleaning and rinsing procedures, all instruments should be inspected. Ultrasonic cleaning after manual cleaning is recommended.
