Preparatory Steps
The following fluids are acceptable for cleaning/sterilization:
! Isopropyl alcohol.
! A 5.25% water solution (by weight) of sodium hypochlorite
(bleach).
! A locally approved sterilant.
In addition, you need the following items:
! A 60 cc catheter-tip syringe.
! A 2-foot section of 1/8- or 3/16-inch tubing to drain off fluid
after it passes through the etCO
2
pump.
! A receptacle to receive the fluid after it drains from the etCO
2
pod.
CAUTION: Always use a syringe to flush cleaning and sterilizing
solutions through the pump as described in the instructions below.
Do not attempt to use the sidestream sampling pump itself to move
cleaning or sterilizing solutions through the system. This may cause
accelerated wear on the pump bearings.
