Cleaning

Routine cleaning of the regulator is recommended as a standard procedure after each use.
Wipe all exterior surfaces with a solution of water and mild detergent
solution.
Should misuse occur resulting in accidental flooding of the regulator, the regulator may be sterilized after
cleaning using ethylene oxide (ETO). See section 5.2 (Sterilization) of the regulator service manual. After
sterilization, follow the service checkout procedures in section 8 (Service Checkout Procedure) of the
regulator service manual.
WARNINGS
⚠ After patient use, regulators may be contaminated. Handle in accordance with your hospital's
infection control policy.
⚠
To reduce service personnel exposure to hazardous contamination, clean and disinfect
all suction equipment before disassembly.
⚠ Following sterilization with ethylene oxide, parts should be quarantined in a well ventilated
area to allow dissipation of residual ethylene oxide gas absorbed by the material. Aerate parts
for 8 hours at 54°C (130°F). Follow your hospital sterilization procedure.
CAUTION
⚠ Do not steam autoclave or liquid sterilize the regulator. Severe impairment to the operation of the
regulator will result. The only acceptable method of sterilization is with gas (ethylene oxide).

Troubleshooting

If the regulator does not operate and you have performed the Pre-use Checkout Procedure, remove the
regulator from service and refer to the Surgical/Free-Flow service manual or refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.
