Care & Maintenance
NEW INSTRUMENTS
All new Rocket Instruments are supplied dry without lubrication. It is recommendeded therefore that they should be carefully washed and dried and
moving parts lubricated
Moving parts must be lubricated after drying. Avoid oils that may mask bacteria during autoclaving. Use WD40 for lubrication and protection.
CLEANING
Rinse blood and saline solutions from instruments as soon as possible following use. Saline solutions are major causes of pitting and instruments
should never be soaked in them, nor should a saline solution be permitted to dry on any instrument.
When cleaning by hand, instruments should be cleaned with a hard brush under cool or warm running water. Very hot water will cause coagulation
of proteinous substances and should not be used.
Mechanical washing machines and ultrasonic cleaners, using instrument detergents of a strength recommended by the manufacturer may be used
followed by a clean rinse.
Whenever cleaning, regardless of method, keep ratchets unlocked and box joints open.
Chrome plated carbon steel instruments can stain and discolour stainless steel. Avoid mixing during washing and sterilisation cycles
Never use steel wool or abrasive powders on stainless steel instruments.Their use may seriously damage the corrosive resistant film of the instrument.
The presence of debris on the hard to clean areas such as serrations, box joints and ratchets, can result in corrosion.
Staining and spotting can be caused by condensation of water droplets on the surface, leaving slight mineral deposits. General dullness of the surface
finish may arise from water softening systems.
DRYING
Immediately after washing, instruments should be dried completely either by hand or in a suitable hot air cabinet. Failure to remove water from
trapped areas will cause corrosion in joints and crevices.
INSPECTION
Check all instruments before storage or packing. Look for distortion, misalignment and wrong assembly. Check for ease of movement in pivots.
Finally, please remember that stainless steel steel is only ‘stainless’ under ideal conditions. Appearance and function will only be maintained if care and
kindness is given. In return the user will receive confidence, reliability and great satisfaction.
STERILISATION
All methods described in the report on Central Sterile Supply Departments prepared by the joint Committee of the Central and Scottish Health
Services Councils are suitable. Boiling water “sterilisers “ should not be used.
