Cleaning / Disinfection Procedure
If the CVi system needs to be cleaned of biohazards such as blood or other
bodily uids, ACIST recommends using DisCide ULTRA as a cleaning
and disinfection agent. Wear protective gloves. Discard all materials used
to decontaminate the system in accordance with all local, state, and federal
regulations, codes, and directives.
CAUTION
To avoid equipment damage:
• Do not apply bleach or other cleaners except as specied. Damage and
degradation of the system and its parts can result if such solutions are
applied.
• Do not apply cleaning solutions to the rubber membrane of the
pressure transducer backplate. Applying cleaning solutions to the
rubber backplate can degrade the transducer, resulting in poor pressure
waveforms.
Perform the following steps to clean and decontaminate the CVi system:
1. Turn o the power switch on the power supply before cleaning.
2. Remove all single-use patient kits from the equipment that was used in
the previous case, if applicable.
3. Remove all excess material such as contrast, blood, or saline from the
surfaces of the CVi injector using the DisCide ULTRA wipes. Use DisCide
ULTRA spray and a so bristle brush, as needed, to help remove any built
up areas.
Notes:
• Do not use non-specied cleaning/disinfection agents or detergents.
• Do not use sharp objects in the cleaning/disinfection.
4. Visually inspect the area that has been cleaned for any remaining soil or
material. If there is visible soil, repeat the cleaning steps until all visible
soil has been fully removed.
