Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 9   MAS 203 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Friction and Fluid

Captions available

The idea

Manual cleaning relies on two things: friction and fluid.

In practice

Friction means scrubbing soiled areas with a brush; fluid under pressure flushes soil from channels a brush cannot reach; ultrasonic cleaners loosen soil with sound waves in water.

Where people slip

Open hinged instruments fully, so cleaning reaches every surface.
