Typically, hand washing surgical instruments is performed when surgical instruments exhibit dried encrustation, excessive debris, cannulated surgical instruments, surgical instruments with working channels and or surgical instruments with lumens. Healthcare Facilities also manually clean surgical instruments when an automated instrument washer is not available. Hand washing surgical instruments places the reprocessing personnel at risk. In the decontamination area, surgical instruments are received that are contaminated with variable amounts of debris and unidentified microorganisms. Within the 'Clean Side' reprocessing area, surgical instruments requiring further reprocessing are handled by unprotected reprocessing personnel.
The easy FOAM-it Enzyme Detergent pre wash Cleaner lays down a thick, long lasting layer, of Surgical Instrument Cleaner Conditioners for Cleaning Surgical Instruments fast and cost effectively.
The easy FOAM-it is a Neutral pH, long lasting, highly effective, “high level”, and “multi-tiered” formulation of 4 enzyme detergents to rapidly break-down bioburden, while the surfactant chemical complex cleans the surface of Surgical Instruments, conditions the “passive layer” of surgical stainless steel to prevent corrosion, removes Surgical Instrument STAINS, lubricates the moving parts of Surgical Instruments, and then rinses clean. The easy FOAM-it Surgical Instrument Cleaners Conditioners, deliver all of the cleaning conditioning power you need in ONE application. The highly concentrated easy FOAM-it is aggressive against your most difficult cleaning challenge, and is guaranteed to be safe for all types of metal, rigid and flexible scopes, lenses, microsurgical instrumentation and reprocessing equipment. The easy FOAM-it will: remove Surgical Instrument stains, protect the surface of Surgical Instruments, and lubricate Surgical Instruments. The 4 Enzyme Formulation (Protease, Amylase, Lipase, and Carbohydrase enzymes) quickly removes the most stubborn organic encrustation and bio-burden including: blood, fat, carbohydrates, starches, and protein. The easy FOAM-it surfactant Chemical Complex breaks down and removes bioburden from Surgical Instruments, cleans the surface of Surgical Instruments, remove Surgical Instrument stains, and condition the surface of Surgical Instruments prevent Surgical Instrument staining, corrosion and pitting. The free rinsing all-in-ONE Chemical Complex will condition the source water and counter the effects of hard water for optimal spotless cleaning, rendering a residue free surface on your Surgical Instruments.

CLEANING SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS BY HAND CAN LEAD TO INJURY AND INCREAESED EXPOSURE TO HERPATITIS. THE CDC BELIEVES THAT AS MANY AS 18,000 HEALTH CARE WORKERS PER YEAR MAY BE INFECTED BY THE HBV,” AND “AS MANY AS 300 DEATHS MAY RESULT ANNUALLY.”
Workers at Risk Reprocessing Hand washing surgical instruments
Disinfecting Surgical Instruments
Hand washing surgical instruments
Inherent in the manual cleaning decontamination washing of surgical instruments is power spraying, inadvertent splashing, and the creation of contaminated aerosols. The manual cleaning-decontamination-washing of surgical instruments presents the risk of infectious puncture wounds. The handling of each individual surgical instrument device is time consuming, labor intensive, renders limited through-put and has high overhead costs.
Disinfecting Surgical Instruments
The Exposure is Contained by Automated Surgical Instrument Washers
In the United States manufacturers of Surgical Instrument Washers are not approved by the FDA to market their products as Washer Disinfectors. However, many of the Surgical Instrument Washers are manufactured to produce the times and temperatures that can effectively deliver disinfected surgical instruments. If it is your preference to have the results of a "washer disinfector", refer to the Surgical Instrument Washer Specifications for assurance that the times and temperatures available are those you consider to be appropriate for disinfecting surgical instruments.
Automated Surgical Instrument Cleaning can safely contain within their chambers the: surgical Instrument cleaning, surgical Instrument washing and surgical instrument disinfecting functions, removal of debris, and contaminated aerosols.
The batch treatment of washing surgical instruments using automated Surgical Instrument Washer Decontaminators Disinfectors saves time, increases material through-put, improves surgical instrument turnaround times, provides for FTE reduction, and lowers cost for surgical instrument cleaners. It has been demonstrated that a properly designed Surgical Instrument Washer Decontaminator Disinfector, that is used to manufacturer’s specifications, will consistently and repeatedly remove all microorganisms from surgical instruments.
Surgical Instrument Cleaning Conditioning
Automated Surgical Instrument Cleaning should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s direction for use, to secure the most consistent and efficacious results. Worker safety and reprocessing efficacy can be compromised by violating the manufacturer’s recommendations. Examples of such recommendations are: Keeping the cannulated surgical instrument working chambers and lumens exposed during cleaning-reprocessing and the use of purified water final rinses.
A Clean Surgical Instrument Device is Safe to Handle
It is critical that devices are cleaned properly to secure the safety of reprocessing workers in the Clean Area. During the steps of inspection, sorting and packaging of devices, the unprotected reprocessing personnel are repeatedly at risk from a surgical instrument that has remained contaminated with microorganisms. Within the implementation of the Universal Surgical Instrument Washing Decontamination Precautions, it is our goal to eliminate the exposure and reduce the risk to Reprocessing personnel whenever possible.
Disinfecting Surgical Instruments
Conclusion:
The use of proper hand washing surgical instruments can render surgical instruments that are clean, but requires the continual exposure of the Reprocessing Staff to contaminated surgical instruments. The Reprocessing Staff performance is influenced by skill level, knowledge and work load. This may impact the efficacy of the process. The use of a properly designed surgical instrument washer, surgical instrument decontaminator, or surgical instrument disinfector reduces the: overhead cost of reprocessing, risks to the reprocessing staff and provides the consistence removal of all microorganisms from soiled surgical instruments. Once a surgical instrument is clean, it is then safe for further reprocessing and handling. Proper cleaning is the prerequisite for disinfecting or sterilizing surgical instruments. Optimal cleaning can render surgical instruments that, at the end of surgical instrument washing, surgical instrument decontamination, surgical instrument cleaning process are sterile.

Surgical Instrument Enzymes Cleaners Do Not Clean
Enzymes alone do not “clean” surgical instruments. Surgical Instrument Detergents are necessary. Surgical Instrument Detergents are necessary to clean the surface of surgical instruments once enzymes have broken down bioburden. It is commonly stated that enzymes “clean rapidly”. Enzymes alone do not “clean”. The primary function of an enzyme surgical instrument detergent cleaner is to break down soil, usually proteinaceous bioburden. For a surgical instrument detergent cleaning product to “clean”, surfactant detergents are necessary that will remove the soil from the surface of the surgical instruments. A combination of enzymes and detergents are necessary for optimal cleaning. Enzyme Detergent surgical instrument cleaners are often referred to as "all-in-one surgical instrument detergent enzyme cleaners". The use of enzymes of various compositions and concentrations, in enzyme surgical instrument detergent cleaners is becoming common. Over half of all surgical instrument detergents presently available contain some level of enzyme detergent. If designed properly, surgical instrument detergent enzyme cleaners can: remove proteinaceous bioburden from surgical instruments, dissolve mineral encrustation from surgical instruments, remove stains from surgical instruments, and enhance the “passive layer” of the surgical instrument stainless steel and lubricate surgical instruments
