LENJEX Project Record

Instrument Cleaning for an Indian Medical Device Maker

A medical device manufacturer cleaned stainless instruments in a heated bath with enzymatic chemistry before sterilization.

LocationGujarat, India
IndustryMedical Device Manufacturing
EquipmentLJ-H600 heated ultrasonic cleaner
Commissioned2025

Project Context

Cleaning before sterilization

The manufacturer assembled reusable stainless instruments with hinges and serrations, and manual brushing was inconsistent and exposed staff to sharps.

Before LENJEX

Hinges and organic residue

Hinges, box locks and serrations held organic residue that brushing did not reach consistently.

  • Residue in hinges and box locks
  • Sharps handling during brushing
  • Inconsistent cycle times
  • Need for a clean pre-sterilization surface

Cleaning Solution

Heated bath with enzymatic chemistry

The LJ-H600 used a heated bath with enzymatic or instrument chemistry, separated baskets and a rinse before the existing sterilization process.

Loading and cycle parameters were validated for the instrument set.

Project Outcomes

Cleaning results and process improvements

Performance depends on the workpiece, contamination, chemistry, loading method and acceptance criteria.

  1. Result 01Hinges and serrations cleaned before sterilization
  2. Result 02Reduced manual brushing and sharps handling
  3. Result 03Consistent, repeatable cycles
  4. Result 04Accepted within the facility reprocessing workflow
