2, the instrument is soaked and taken out and rinsed clean with water, the tube cavity is rinsed repeatedly with a high-pressure rinse gun, the teeth groove at the clamp end is brushed with a soft brush to clean blood stains and then dried with a soft cloth, the water droplets in the tube cavity should be blown dry or sucked dry, and then coated with lubricant. Or use ultrasonic cleaner to clean

 

Points to note.

 

(1) If it is Hbsag positive and other infected patients' instruments after surgery should be disinfected before cleaning to avoid spreading infection.

(2) When cleaning various types of forceps and scissors, care should be taken to clean the blood from the overlapping surfaces of the joints.

(3) Care should be taken to keep the disassembled small parts during the cleaning process to prevent loss.

(4) The wire interface connected to the machine should not be immersed in the cleaning solution to prevent leakage when in use. Such as hysteroscopic electrosurgical instruments operating tip of the junction.

(5) pay attention to the protection of the endoscopic surface, fiber endoscopic surface with cotton balls, and electron microscopic surface with gauze wipe.

(6) Bipolar electrocoagulation forceps should be installed at all times after disassembly and cleaning to prevent breakage of the forceps core. The ceramic mouth of the hysteroscopic electrodes operating tip trocar should be prevented from collision during cleaning to prevent collision cracking.

 

Sterilization

1. Autoclaving: All lumpectomy instruments that can be autoclaved should be sterilized by autoclaving method.

2、Ethylene oxide: Ethylene oxide has strong sterilization power, is widely sterilized, does not damage the items, and has strong penetrating power. Endoscopic lenses, cameras, light source guide beams, electrocoagulation wires, etc. that should not be sterilized by autoclaving can be sterilized by this method.

3. 2% glutaraldehyde immersion: it is used for the immersion sterilization of lumpectomy instruments, which requires 10 hours of immersion. When soaking, the joints of the instruments should be opened and the cavity should be filled with soaking solution, and the residual solution should be repeatedly rinsed with sterile water before use.
