If manual cleaning is not performed immediately, instruments should be placed into a container and soaked with a detergent, a disinfectant/detergent, or an enzymatic cleaner to prevent drying of patient material and make manual cleaning easier and less time consuming.
1 Instruments should be processed in the ultrasonic cleaner for the full-recommended cycle time, which is normally about 5-10 minutes. 2  A lid should cover the ultrasonic cleaner during the operation to avoid splashing. 3  Never place different metals in the same cleaning cycle. 4  For example, stainless steel and copper; etc.nstruments should be submerged in a solution of water and neutral pH (7) detergent. 1  To avoid blood and other proteins from sticking to instruments surfaces, an enzymatic cleaner bath (soaking) should be used on all instruments. 2  After soaking for a minimum of 10 minutes, rinse all instruments in running tap water.
