6.4 Containment (ST79:2010 / A2:2011) Immediately after use, items should be kept moist. Rationale: Containment minimizes the possibility of airborne or contact spread of microorganisms. Keeping items moist prevents soil from drying on device surfaces and facilitates the decontamination process.

7.3 Presoaking Presoaking with a specialized product (e.g., an enzymatic solution) is generally recommended. Presoaking should begin as soon as possible after an instrument is used. Rationale: Presoaking instruments moistens and loosens the soil, thus making the cleaning step more efficient.

HTM 01-01, Part A & D “Reducing the time from close of procedure to reprocessing. Prions are easier to remove if they have not dried on the surface of an instrument. To enable efficient prion removal, theatre and SSD staff should ensure that instruments are transported to the SSD immediately after the close of the procedure, for cleaning and reprocessing as soon as practically possible. This will make the cleaning process more effective, hence reducing the risks to the patients and staff handling the devices. If devices cannot be returned in a timely manner, it is important that the instruments are kept moist using appropriate methods approved and verified by the SSD”

EN ISO 15883-2: 2009 “The efficacy of disinfection can be impaired if soil removal is incomplete before the start of the disinfection process. Users should be aware that some medical devices might require pre-treatment”
