In sterile processing, cleaning is the first and most critical step. Enzymatic detergents are widely used in CSSD (Central Sterile Supply Department) to remove blood, tissue, fat, and carbohydrate residues before sterilization.

How Enzymatic Detergents Work

• Protease → breaks down proteins (e.g., blood)
• Lipase → dissolves fats and oils
• Amylase → removes starch residues

Temperature: The Key Factor

• Optimal range: 37–60°C (100–140°F)
• Too cold → enzymes lose activity
• Too hot → enzymes denature

Best Practices for CSSD Teams

• Use RO/DI water for rinsing
• Follow manufacturer’s IFU
• Verify cleaning results with ATP or protein testing kits
• Remember: enzymatic cleaning is not sterilization, only the first step
