Stage I
Clean the product under running tap water, using a suitable cleaning
brush if necessary, until all visible residues have been removed from
the surfaces.
Mobilize non-rigid components, such as set screws, links, etc. during
cleaning.
Make certain the product is positioned in such a way that water will
not enter the product e.g. through coupling interfaces. (Immediately
remove any fluid that entered inadvertently.)
Do not use metal cleaning brushes or other abrasives that would
damage the product surfaces and could cause corrosion.
Stage II
Dry the product with lint-free tissue or medical-quality filtered
compressed air.
Stage III
Wipe all surfaces of the product with a single-use disinfecting wipe.
Stage IV
After the specified exposure time (of at least 1 minute), rinse the
disinfected surfaces under running FD water.
Hold the product in such a way that water cannot enter it e.g. through
couplings or adapters.
Allow water to drip off for a sufficient length of time.
Stage V
Dry the product with lint-free tissue or medical-quality filtered
compressed air.
