Abstract
The reprocessing of multiple-use medical devices (MD) is an integral part of anti-epidemic (preventive) measures aimed at interrupting the transmission routes of infectious diseases in the sterilization departments of medical organizations. One of the key issues in the treatment of medical devices is their pre-sterilization cleaning, carried out manually or mechanized. A number of factors affect the operation of washer disinfection machines (WD), related both to the WD itself and to the process of placing MD in them for processing. Disinfection of MD in WD in all cases, from the point of view of ISO standards, is preferable to chemical disinfection. Ultrasonic cleaning of simple medical products makes it possible to clean them effectively.
