Cleaning Monitors

The first step to proper instrument reprocessing

Proper cleaning is the first and most important step to effective Instrument Reprocessing. Visibly clean instruments might not be enough to ensure quality of your cleaning protocol. Wouldn’t you want to know if your instruments have passed the first step?
Have you tried the Hu-Friedy’s Cleaning Monitors? Hu-Friedy Cleaning Monitors are designed to monitor the efficacy of the cleaning process when using washer-disinfectors and ultrasonic cleaners. The monitors contain a non-toxic test soil that mimics the presence of blood and tissue on an instrument surface. Full removal the test soil indicates an effective cleaning process.

• Insert single use Cleaning Monitor strip into the holder
• Place holder with strip face up in equipment:
  • For ULTRASONIC CLEANERS: on top of instruments fully covered in solution
  • For WASHER-DISINFECTORS: in a basket on a shelf of the washer
• Run cleaning cycle
• Review results of Cleaning Monitor to determine if adjustments to process are needed

IMS-1200U - Cleaning Monitor for Ultrasonic, 50 pieces
IMS-1200W - Cleaning Monitor for Washer Disinfector, 50 pieces

Why would my process fail?

There are many things that can affect the quality of your cleaning protocol. Rather than assuming that your instruments are clean just by looking at them, let’s consider some of the common process failures for your Washer-Disinfector or Ultrasonic Cleaner.

Points of performance

• Colored test soil on strip is designed to parallell the removal of blood and bioburden from an instrument surface
• Cleaning Monitor Holder acts as a hinged instrument measuring implingement in washer-disinfectors
• Reusable stainless steel holder secures monitor in place in order to provide accurate results
