PREPARATION AT POINT OF USE Directly after use, remove coarse contamination from the instrument and keep the instrument moist for transit to the processing site. Prior to cleaning and sterilization do not use any fixing agents or hot water (>104°F (40°C)) since this may lead to the fixation of residue and can interfere with the cleaning process. TRANSPORTATION During the transportation of the instrument to the processing site, store contaminated instrument securely in a closed container to avoid damage to the instrument and/or contamination of the environment. PREPARATION FOR REPROCESSING Where applicable, instruments must be disassembled and/or opened for cleaning and sterilization. Ring handled instruments must be open so that ratchets are not engaged. Failure to properly clean and sterilize the instrument could lead to contaminated instruments being placed back into circulation.
