There are facilities that does it differently. Where I worked at we didnt do it this way. First since we pre rinse and used water gun to flush out and visualize the blood coming out. And check the tips etc. Then take it to where it gets flush primed enzymatic detergent soak etc
I used to do it that way too until one day blood splashed right onto my facesheild. I then decided to not flush the ports u til I was under the surface of the water.
