ABSTRACT:
An improved cleaning and sterilizing apparatus adapted for cleaning and sterilizing medical instruments in which a wash cycle and rinse cycle are repeated if proper cleaning of the instrument has not been obtained. Using a turbidity monitor or comparable instrument, an indicia representative of the particles in the rinse water is obtained. If the indicia does not meet some pre-defined standard, such as those set by the Food and Drug Administration, then the wash/rinse cycles are repeated. This is done either until the standards are met or for a certain number of times. If the standards are met, then the medical instrument is sterilized for later use. In the preferred embodiment, proper sterilization is monitored by the turbidity monitor.
