Medical - Medical: Instruments
English term or phrase: lumens
Basically, all outer and inner surfaces to be treated must be accessible for the decontamination, disinfection and sterilization liquids (open valves / faucets, linkage instruments!). Special attention is required for the lumens. Complex medical products may require disassembly. Prior to processing, MIC instruments must be disassembled according to manufacturers’ instructions. Baked on remnants are extremely critical for instruments used in operative endoscopies, as removal of grime remnants found in narrow lumens are hard to remove by machine mechanical processes. Advice by manufacturers of medical devices must be heeded (DIN EN ISO 17664, requirements information to be made available by the manufacturer referring to the formation of medical products, designed for sterilization).
