Validation study on minimum water volume in cleaning reusable phacoemulsification tips
The present study aims to validate the minimum water volume and cleaning effect on the cleaning of reusable phacoemulsification (phaco) tips by a standard operating procedure (SOP).
Methods
2
A total of six groups
each with 15 tips
were set depending on the water volume in the cleaning tip lumen of the tips
i.e.
60 ml
30 ml
15 ml
10 ml
5 ml
and 0 ml. The cleaning procedure complies with the industry SOP. The cleaning effect was detected by visual inspection with a high-pressure air gun and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) detection with an ATP fluorescence detector.
Results
2
All phaco tips cleaned were qualified by visual inspection and ATP detection when the water volume of tip lumen cleaning was not less than 5 ml.
Conclusion
2
The cleaning SOP was applied to clean the reusable phaco tips and the minimum water volume for cleaning tip lumen was 5 ml.
