Cleaning and disinfection of Dräger X-plore 8000 with chlorine
solution
General
This document describes a cleaning and disinfection process for the Dräger X-plore 8000 system with
a chlorine solution. Please note that Dräger only assessed the compatibility of the equipment based
on the process described below, but did not evaluate the effectiveness of any agents with regard to
inactivating viruses or bacteria on our products.
The processes below were tested on X-plore 8000 components by running through 25 cleaning and
disinfection cycles. The equipment was fully functional afterwards. However, please note that
intensive cleaning and disinfection of X-plore 8000 components may result in color change or even
reduced service life of components. All components have to be checked carefully after each cleaning
and disinfection process and have to be exchanged if needed.
Please note that this document does not replace or in any way amend the Instructions for Use
(IfU)for the X-plore 8000. The Instructions for Use must always be fully read and understood prior
to any use, cleaning or disinfection of the device.
Other cleaning and disinfection detergents than the ones mentioned in this document or in the
associated IfU(s) have not been tested by Dräger. Therefore, Dräger cannot assess if other detergents
may cause any damage to the Dräger X-plore 8000 components or may reduce lifetime of the
product.
Please observe and follow the following steps additionally:
Read and follow the IfUs for all X-plore 8000 components.
Read and follow the IfUs from the manufacturer of the cleaning and disinfection agents used.
Carefully follow recommended concentration and time for the cleaning and disinfection
agents used.
Thoroughly rinse all components (battery attached to the PAPR unit) with clean, warm water
and thoroughly dry them before use or storage.
Always practice good hand hygiene.
Follow local regulations for proper disposal of cleaning equipment and solutions.
Initial steps
1. Detach the headpiece from the hose.
2. Detach the hose from the PAPR unit.
3. Detach the Decon belt from the PAPR unit.
4. Discard the disposable hose cover if one is used. (Note: Dräger recommends using a
disposable hose cover to make cleaning and disinfection of the corrugated hose easier.)
