Chapter 11 - Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning and Disinfection Guidelines
174 Apollo Operator’s Manual
Part Number: 90 38 237, 6th edition
• Mechanical cleaning with high-temperature
disinfection (≥93
o
C (199
o
F) , ≥10 min). This is
the preferred method for many Apollo
components; a suitable cleaning agent must be
added.
• Manual disinfection in a bath. Extensive
personal protection is required due to
inhalation of vapors.
Equipment parts should be cleaned and disinfected
by machine for hygienic conditioning purposes (EN
ISO 15883, in preparation).
Complex, thermally stable functional components,
such as the breathing system, can be easily cleaned
and disinfected by machine, but are not always dried
sufficiently. Subsequent vacuum disinfection in hot
steam or steam sterilization is recommended to dry
off the remaining water.
• Vacuum disinfection in hot steam at 75
o
C
(167
o
F) for 20 minutes or 105
o
C (221
o
F) for 1
minute, for example.
• Steam sterilization, for example at 121
o
C
(250
o
F) for max. 20 minutes or 134
o
C (273
o
F)
for max. 8 minutes. Higher temperatures may
impair the service life of the functional
components.
High-temperature disinfection does not have any
cleaning effect. Such methods should therefore only
be used on functional components which have
already been cleaned by hand or by machine.
Machines, associated components, and equipment
parts must be inspected visually and packaged for
storage or transport. Simple packaging with
corresponding labelling is sufficient for this purpose.
This is not necessary if the components and
equipment parts are not to be stored and/or
transported.
WARNING !
Remove any monitoring equipment mounted on
the machine before transport. The writing table
should also be free of all objects and folded
down completely. If these precautions are not
followed, the device may tip over and pose a
risk to safety.
CAUTION !
When moving or folding down the writing table,
keep hands clear of edges to avoid pinching.
