Cleaning And Disinfecting; Visual Inspection - Dräger X-plore 5500 Instrucciones De Uso

Use instructions for NIOSH-approved full facepieces

Cleaning and Disinfecting

The facepiece must be cleaned after every use so that it is clean
before it is used by a different individual or, if individually assigned, as
often as necessary to keep in a sanitary condition. Facepieces that
are issued to more than one user must be cleaned before being worn
by different individuals.
The facepiece must be disinfected after every use to keep it in a san-
itary condition. It is fully in the user's responsibility to make sure that
the facepiece is totally free of contaminants after this treatment.
Never use a facepiece again, that has not been properly disinfected.
In case of doubts dispose of the facepiece in accordance with the
local regulations and use a new one.
The facepiece body must be cleaned thoroughly so that no residues
from skin care products remain on it.
Otherwise the elasticity in the sealing area can be lost and the
facepiece will no longer fit correctly.
Failure to take note of this warning can result in poisoning or death.
Do not use any solvents (e.g. acetone, alcohol) or cleaning agents
containing abrasive particles for cleaning and disinfecting. Only use
the methods and the approved cleaning and disinfecting agents
described in this section. Other methods or agents can cause dam-
age to the product.
Undiluted agents that come into direct contact with eyes or skin are
hazardous to health. Always wear suitable protective equipment
when working with the cleaning and disinfecting agents described
in this section.
Since the use of certain cleaning and disinfecting agents is not
allowed among all countries, Dräger tested and recommends sev-
eral cleaning and disinfecting agents. However, Dräger makes no
representations that such agents comply with or are approved for
use in your specific country's regulations. Make sure to follow the
procedure that is suitable for your country.For further information
please contact Dräger or your local dealer.
