Cleaning
The pump, garment, and tubing can be wiped down using a damp (not wet) soft cloth
while unplugged – if more thorough pump cleaning or garment disinfection is desired,
use the following directions.
Pump and tubing cleaning
• Unplug and wipe down using a damp (not wet) soft cloth with mild antibacterial soap
as needed
• Do not use bleach
Garment Disinfection
• Disconnect from pump and open to expose all sides
• Prepare a solution of 1/3 cup of laundry detergent per 1 gallon of warm water (20 mL
laundry detergent per 1 L water) in a sink or container large enough to hold the garment
• Place garment in solution but do not submerge or place connectors in water as this will
damage the device
• Soak for 30 minutes with mild agitation every 5-10 minutes - hard to remove soil may
require hand washing using a soft clean cloth while garment is in solution
• Rinse with warm water and allow to air dry
• Repeat previous steps using a solution of 1 cup of bleach per 1 gallon of warm water
(60 mL bleach per 1 L warm water)
