Automated Cleaning
Caution: If the coupler is cleaned with the automated cleaning
method, steam sterilization is recommended.
1. Soak
• Prepare a solution of enzymatic detergent and tap water at
35°C. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for detergent
concentration and any other recommendations.
• Fully immerse the device and use an appropriately-sized
syringe to inject any mated surfaces and crevices with at least
50 mL of the prepared detergent.
• Soak the device for a minimum of 15 minutes.
2. Brush
• Thoroughly brush the exterior of the device with a soft-
bristled brush for 1 minute, focusing on any crevices and
mated surfaces.
• Inject any mated surfaces and crevices a minimum of 5 times
with 50 mL of the prepared detergent.
• While pushing down on the endobody clamp, brush between
all gaps and crevices. Continue brushing all gaps and crevices
while releasing the clamp to the initial position. (Refer to the
"Operating the Endobody Clamp" section for more detail
about moving the clamp.)
3. Rinse
• Remove the device from the prepared detergent. Rinse the
device with reverse osmosis/deionized water at ambient
temperature for 1 minute or until all visible detergent residue
has been removed.
• After all visible detergent residue has been removed, continue
to rinse for 30 seconds.
4. Automated Wash
• Place the device in the washer on an incline to facilitate
drainage.
• Program the washer using the following parameters:
