Introduction
In the reprocessing of medical devices, prevention of soil from drying and fixation is very important. Recently, pre-cleaning spray detergents are being used heavily to prevent soil from drying before cleaning operations. On the other hand, it is said that if soiled medical devices are not reprocessed immediately and left drying, corrosion occurs due to the presence of chloride ions contained in blood. With this, the effect of corrosion inhibition of the pre-cleaning spray detergent on stainless steel in the presence of chloride ions and its enhanced detergency were investigated.
