b. Immerse the Dorma 99 respirator and its components in the 30% hydrogen peroxide solution for
30 seconds, ensuring the device is completely submerged;
c. Remove the respirator and its components from the hydrogen peroxide solution;
d. Rinse the Dorma 99 respirator and its components with purified water for 30 seconds;
e. Wipe the Dorma 99 respirator and its components with a clean, dry towel;
