Section 8 — Cleaning
Caution: The pump, WCH, WiFi module and power adapters are not designed
to be immersed underwater. Do not immerse the pump, WCH, WiFi module
or power adapters in water or other cleaning solutions. Failure to follow the
cleaning procedures described herein could result in hazards to users, patients,
and clinicians. As with any A/C powered electrical device, care must be taken to
prevent liquid from entering the pump, WCH and WiFi module to avoid electrical
shock hazard, fire hazard, or damage to electrical components.
Caution: Disconnect pump, WCH and WiFi module from A/C power source
before cleaning. After cleaning, do not connect to an A/C power source until
thoroughly dry.
If any of the following events occur, do not use the pump, WCH and WiFi
module until it has been properly cleaned and dried. For assistance, please
contact Customer Service:
• Wetting of the power adapter
• Leakage into the pump interior
• Leakage into the WCH Interior
• Leakage into the WiFi module interior
General cleaning directions
Cleaning Chemicals:
A mild, common dish washing liquid detergent should be used for
general cleaning. This detergent should be used with a 20:1 ratio water to
detergent mixture.
Wipe down the pump with a paper towel moistened with the cleaning solution,
removing all visible soil. Use a brush to remove soil from hard to reach crevices.
Caution: The use of cleaners and disinfectants other than the ones
described in the instructions for use may cause significant damage to the
pump, WCH or WiFi module and may void warranty.
Cleaning Frequency:
It is recommended that the pump and WCH be cleaned after each feeding set
use for a minimum duration of 30 seconds, to prevent bacterial contamination
of the pump. Further, failure to clean the pump can interfere with the function of
the pump rotor, which can increase the occurrence of errors and warning alarms.
See below for methods for cleaning each component.
Directions for Cleaning the WCH:
• Refer to General Cleaning Directions before starting.
• Clean the outside surface with a damp cloth or sponge using a
mild detergent.
• Caution: Washing the WCH under running water or through
submersion will result in damage to the unit! The WCH is designed to a
water resistance of IP21 per the IEC 60529 standard, which does not allow for
submersion in water or under a running faucet.
Directions for Cleaning pump Housing
• Refer to General Cleaning Directions before starting.
• Clean outside surface with a damp cloth or sponge using a mild detergent.
• For difficult to clean areas, it is permissible to wash the pump under running
water. Avoid submerging the pump or washing with high pressure nozzles,
which exceeds the water proof rating of the pump. The pump casing has
a water proof rating of “water jet resistant”. This allows for washing under
running water or wiping with a damp cloth.
Directions for Cleaning Power Adapter and
WiFi Module
• Refer to General Cleaning Directions before starting.
• Unless soiling is observed, the power adapter and WiFi
Module should not be cleaned.
• If cleaning of the power adapter or WiFi Module is
necessary, unplug and wipe the exterior surfaces with a
cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
• Allow excess moisture to evaporate prior to use.
• Caution: Washing the power adapter or WiFi
module with a wet cloth, under running water, or
through submersion will result in damage to the
unit! The power adapter and WiFi module are rated
IPX0, which means they are not water resistant.
Caution: Avoid exposing the power adapter or WiFi
module to excess moisture, as this can lead to an
electrical shock or fire hazard.
Preventative maintenance
This pump may be periodically tested to assure proper
functioning and safety. Testing may be done at the user’s
Biomedical Engineering Department, an outside service, or
by Covidien Factory Service.
To arrange for Covidien Factory Service in the US, call
1-800-448-0190. In Canada, call 1-877-664-8926. Outside
of the US and Canada, please contact your local Customer
Service for more information.
If a pump malfunctions, please contact your Covidien
Representative or call Customer Service for instruction.
General disinfection directions
Disinfection chemicals:
The pump and the WCH can be disinfected by wetting their
surfaces with a 10:1 water and chlorine bleach mixture. To
wet the devices, use at least two bleach wetted lint-free
wipes and wipe as necessary to maintain visual wetness.
Visual wetness should be maintained for a minimum
duration of 10 minutes for the pump, and a minimum
duration of 1 minute for the WCH.
Repeated disinfection with this solution can damage the
plastic housings.
Disinfection frequency:
It is necessary to clean and disinfect the pump and WCH
after each use when these devices are used for multiple
patients. This is to prevent spreading bacteria, viruses, and
other germs between patients that interact with the same
pump and WCH.
