Explanation:
I think you are probably being confused that the same word "treatment" is being used in 2 different ways here. First there is the "treatment" of the patient with the device and then the treatment or cleaning of the device itself after using it.

initial treatment= first (primary) cleaning immediately after using the device at the point of use =where (and when) using it

The cleaning is listed in the order it is to be done:

Clean the medical device immediately after every treatment, ....
> Operate the medical device for at least 10 seconds at idle speed.
> Ensure that all coolant outlets are rinsed out.
