After eye surgery, very little tissue is left on instruments, and you can remove what's there with adequate manual cleaning and thorough flushing. We found that eye specialty centers are generally more attuned to potential TASS risk factors than multispecialty surgical facilities, which tend to treat all instruments the same — reprocessing with enzymes, ultrasound and detergents — instead of managing eye instrument trays sep- arately. Q How should we perform the final rinse? A It's recommended that you flush irrigation/aspiration and phaco handpieces with distilled or deionized water for the final rinse. Q What about using enzymatic detergents during instrument reprocessing? A Enzymes and detergents aren't needed to decrease bioburden buildup, but some oph- thalmic manufacturers still recommend the practice. Q Do you recommend disposable cannulas? A Yes. More facilities are opting to use dispos- able cannulas. This eliminates the possibility REPAIR PHACO HANDPIECE Call AOI for Information 800.576.1266 or 949.580.1266 6ISTA 4ERRACE s ,AKE &OREST #!
