2. Cleaning for Biosecurity
2.1 PREPARATION FOR CLEANING
i. Obtain Lysol concentrate and mix into solution per label for virus decontamination.
(Lysol/Dettol kills 99.9% viruses and bacteria.)
ii. Use the Lysol/Dettol solution at a tepid temperature to facilitate removal of bio-solid material
remaining on the Zephyr.
iii. Obtain Lysol/Dettol spray product.
iv. Obtain sufficient cotton “t-shirt” cloth wipers.
v. Obtain ½” diameter bristle-type bottle brushes.
vi. Obtain beaker approximately 4” diameter and 5” tall to soak wash nose piece.
vii. Perform steps below in a temperature-controlled room if possible.
2.2 CLEANING THE ANIMAL CONTACT AREA OF THE ZEPHYR
Cleaning to maintain smooth and free movement of the bolt is essential to maintain design bolt velocity.
Contaminated bolts will adhere to the guide bushing and cause a reduction in bolt velocity. Bolt
velocity is a key parameter in producing a quality stun.
•Proceed as follows:
i. Remove pneumatic connection from Zephyr so that the Zephyr is not accidentally fired. (It is
impossible to fire the Zephyr without a pneumatic connection.)
ii. Remove Safety Pin from Subject Adapter and store Safety Pin where shown near pneumatic hose
connection.
iii. For heavy contamination, first soak Adapter and Guide assembled on Zephyr frame. Initially
loosen biomaterials by immersing the animal contacting “nose section” of the Zephyr in a suitable
beaker filled four inches (4”) deep with tepid Lysol/Dettol solution for a period of 5 minutes, to aid
in separation of the Guide from the Subject Adapter.
iv. Remove Adapter completely from Guide by turning anti-clockwise; approximately 1 inch travel
until separation.
v. Fully descend and expose the bolt by grasping the bolt end.
vi. Inspect Bolt Head for wear or cracking. Replace the Bolt Head if any cracks are visible.
vii. Clean around and behind the descended bolt with a small round/pointed bristle bottle brush to
further loosen bio-solids.
viii. Repeat steps “vii” until all visible material is removed, and the interior and exterior of the Guide,
Adapter and Bolt are visibly free of contamination. Use scouring pads (Scotch Brite®) as needed.
ix. Reattach the Adapter to the Guide by turning fully clock-wise, hand tight only.
x. Wipe dry the exterior of the Zephyr, including the nose section with spray Lysol/Dettol until all
visible bio-solid materials are removed.
xi. Add two (2) drops of pneumatic tool oil into pneumatic connection on the Zephyr.
xii. Dry fire Zephyr 5 times to force pneumatic tool oil into the Zephyr to displace any internal water
or cleaning fluids.
