we soak used instruments in a bowl of hibi/fairy (use cold water) which takes of the worse of the blood etc, then 15 min in the u/sonic cleaner with medizyme in it,

We scrub instruments in hibi and then put them in ultrasonic cleaner, used to use medizyme but now use something else (name escapes me), we run it for 6 min.

We use medizyme in ours - 5 minutes at 50 degrees - anymore than 50 degrees and you de-activate the medizyme. Instruments are 'clean' when they go in.

When I worked somewhere that had an ultrasonic cleaner we would clean the instruments with hibiscrub and then put them in the ultrasonic cleaner which has medizyme in it.

we use gleam for 3 minutes. A little off topic but we soak our instruments in medizyme then scrub then put into the ultrasonic cleaner I have always thought that the scrubbing stage could be skipped because the ultrasonic cleaner would do that, however head VN thinks that it is essential?

Have always used Rapidex with ultrasonic cleaners too - 30 minutes seems a bit excessive, may as well clean by hand!!
