Use only brands that are compatible with the resuscitator materials to avoid
reduction in the lifetime of the materials. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer
of the detergent or chemical disinfectant for dilution and exposure time.
CAUTION
Avoid using substances containing phenol to clean the product. Phenol will cause
premature wear and degradation of the materials or reduced product life span.
Promptly remove all residue of cleaning materials from the resuscitator. Residues
may cause premature wear or reduced product life span.
The following steps are generally recommended. Select proper methods for the
resuscitator parts in question according to the table above.
