Which types of instruments must be cleaned with bristle-brushes on wires, pipe cleaners, or handheld pressure guns?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Suction tip lumens require cleaning with bristle-brushes on wires, pipe cleaners, or handheld pressure guns to ensure complete removal of all debris and prevent blockages. Microsurgical scissors and tissue forceps can be cleaned with other methods such as ultrasonic cleaning, and self-retaining retractors do not typically have lumens that require this type of cleaning.
