Maintenance and Storage 260
Reprocessing the pump when used by a single patient multiple times
When the Sapphire pump is used by a single patient for multiple times, the pump and
all of its components need to be cleaned first, and then disinfected using 70%
Isopropyl alcohol.
The user is required to clean and disinfect the pump in the following conditions (the
earlier of the three):
• Every time there is visibly soiled.
• Once a week.
• After storage at the patient’s home; even if not used.
Cleaning and disinfection instructions are identical to Cleaning and Disinfection
Procedure on page 258.

This part should be kept free from foreign materials and dirt. If
necessary, use foam swab moistened with the detergent solution
to clean the connector, particularly around the 4 fingers roots by
applying normal finger force, assuring that the swab reaches all
areas, at least twice.
Note: Swabbing should be applied in vertical or horizontal
movement, where possible, while less accessible areas should
be swabbed in a circular motion (at least 3 bi-directional
rotations clockwise-counterclockwise).
