▢ Instrument cleaning solution is diluted and changed according to manufacturer’s instructions.

▢ All surgical instruments are inspected after each cleaning for cleanliness, proper functionality, corrosion and staining.

▢ Instruments that do not pass inspection are removed and replaced immediately.

Bi-annual check list
