English term or phrase: washed for cleaning
After intelligent capsule was discharged out of the body, it should be washed for cleaning

neutral  David Sirett: In principle a dirty object can be sterilized without being cleaned. Moreover, if the capsule is ingested orally it wouldn't necessarily need to be sterile.
