<p>A container (10) provides for soaking medical instruments (12). The container (10) includes a basin (14) for receiving one or more medical instruments (12), a fill level sensor (24) for detecting presence of a soaking substance (18) at a minimum fill level (20), a lid closure sensor (26) which detects closure of a lid (16) onto the basin (14), and a timer adapted to begin a timing sequence when both the fill lever (24) sensor detects presence of the soaking substance (18) at the minimum fill level (20) and the lid closure sensor (26) detects closure of the lid (16). Proper soaking of the instruments (12) prior to a full cleaning procedure improves the reliability of the cleaning procedure.</p> |
