Basic Cleaning Procedure for Standard and Fiberoptic Blades
Prepare a Klenzyme®, Manu-klenz™, or equivalent cleaning solution as per manufacturer’s
instructions and soak for ten minutes. Rinse devices with lukewarm running tap water for
one minute to remove any residual detergent after cleaning. Dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Note: Always allow blades to completely dry before disinfection or use.
Basic Cleaning Procedures for Standard and Fiberoptic Handles
Prepare a Klenzyme®, Manu-klenz™, or equivalent cleaning solution as per manufacturer’s in-
structions. Remove both end caps from device and rinse with lukewarm tap water until all visible
contamination has been removed. Soak handle and end caps in the prepared solution for a mini-
mum of ten minutes, ensuring that all components are fully submerged. After the soak, the compo-
nents should be scrubbed with a soft bristled brush paying particular attention to hard to reach
areas. Rinse with cool running tap water to remove all residual detergent. Dry with a clean, lint free
cloth. Note: Always allow handles to completely dry before disinfection or use.
High Level Disinfection for Standard and Fiberoptic Blades
To achieve high level disinfection, a 2.4% glutaraldehyde solution (Cidex® or equivalent) must be
prepared at 77°F (25°C) to the manufacturer’s instructions. The blades should be fully immersed
in the disinfectant for a minimum of 45 minutes. No air bubbles should be visible on the immersed
blades during this soak time. The blades should then be removed from the disinfectant and im-
mersed in purified water to rinse off all disinfectant. Immersion should be for a minimum of one
minute and the process should be repeated two additional times using fresh purified water each
time. Once rinsing is complete, the blades should be thoroughly dried using a sterile, lint-free
cloth. Note: Always allow blades to completely dry before use.
High Level Disinfection for Disposable Fiberoptic Blades
Disposable fiberoptic laryngoscope blades are supplied non-sterile. They are designed for
single patient use only and are not disinfected after use. Gas sterilization by Ethylene oxide
following these guidelines. Temperature 55°C (±5°C) EO pressure - 180 mmHg (± 20
mmHg) Chamber pressure 210mmHg (±20mmHg).
High Level Disinfection for Standard and Fiberoptic Handles
To achieve high level disinfection, a 2.4% glutaraldehyde solution (Cidex® or equivalent) must be
prepared at 77°F (25°C) to the manufacturer’s instructions. The end caps of the handles must be
removed and both the end caps and handles should be fully immersed in the disinfectant for a
minimum of 45 minutes. No air bubbles should be visible on the immersed components during
this soak time. The components should then be removed from the disinfectant and immersed in
purified water to rinse off all disinfectant. Immersion should be for a minimum of one minute and
the process should be repeated two additional times using fresh purified water each time. Once
rinsing is complete, the components should be thoroughly dried using a sterile, lint-free cloth.
Note: Always allow components to completely dry before reassembling the handles, inserting bat-
teries, or using the devices.
