Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilization
Notes for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization process:
•
For cleaning, disinfection and sterilization process, the resuscitator must be disassembled as
shown in the figures. See the assembly View and table for disassembling the resuscitator set. Do
not disassemble the parts further as shown.
•
When and parts for cleaning-disinfection-sterilization: For parts exposed to expiratory gases (non-
rebreathing valve) do cleaning-disinfection-sterilization after each patient. For parts not exposed
to patient expiratory gases (resuscitator body, oxygen valve, oxygen reservoir, mask) do cleaning-
disinfection-sterilization regularly as needed to remove dust etc. If the resuscitator was used for
patients/environments with infectious diseases do the cleaning-disinfection-sterilization for the
whole set of the resuscitator.
The cleaning-disinfection-sterilization process
The following steps are generally recommended. Select proper methods for the resuscitator parts in
question according to the table.
Cleaning methods
•
Disassemble the resuscitator following the assembly view and order. Do not disassemble the pressure
relief valve spring, just rinse it directly.
•
Wash the components thoroughly by a soft brush in warm clean tap water containing a mild detergent
(Follow manufacturer's instruction for concentration and exposure time). Ensure that the detergent
is suitable for the component materials to avoid causing damage. See the material specifications
at the end of the instructions. After washing, rinse the parts thoroughly in clean water to remove
any residues of detergent.
•
An automatic washing machine with a programme designed for washing anaesthesia accessories
can be used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Disinfection methods
•
Washing machines-heat disinfecting program: Automatic washing machines designed for medical
accessories usually also offer cycles for disinfection by heating, which you can use for the resuscitator set.
•
Boiling: Immerse the parts in clean tap water, heat to boiling and keep for eg. 10 minutes for
disinfection.
•
Aldehyde or other chemical liquid (Ex.: Cidex, chemical with sodium hypochloride,..etc.): Can be
used on all parts of the resuscitator.
•
Follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the chemical disinfectant for dilution and exposure time.
After exposing the resuscitator parts to the chemical disinfectant. rinse all parts of the resuscitator
set thoroughly in clean water to remove the residues.
Notes
•
Numerous brands of detergents and chemical disinfectants are available. Use only brands that are
compatible with the resuscitator materials to avoid reduction in the lifetime of the materials. See list
of materials. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the detergent or chemical disinfectant
for dilution and exposure time.
•
Substances containing phenol should be avoided. Phenol will cause premature wear and degradation
of the materials or reduce the time use of the product.
•
Promptly remove all residue of cleaning materials from the resuscitator. Residues may cause
premature wear or reduce the time use of the product.
•
Because it is very difficult to thoroughly rinse it afterwards it is not recommended to immerse the
oxygen reservoir in chemical disinfectants.
