8.2 Disinfecting and Cleaning
the KED® Pro
Note: Do NOT immerse the KED
®
Pro in liquid.
To clean:
1. Lay all the pieces of the KED
®
Pro on a clean surface
and rinse off with warm water.
2. Lightly scrub the KED
®
Pro and modular pads with a
mild soap solution and a medium-bristle brush. Wash
the head straps with the soap solution and a clean
sponge.
3. Rinse all the pieces with warm water.
To disinfect:
1. Apply a solution of 2% to 5% chlorine bleach and
water.
2. Rinse all the pieces with warm water.
3. Hang the KED
®
Pro to dry, or dry it with a towel.
Allow all pieces to dry completely before returning
them to the carrying case.
Note: Drying time for the KED
®
Pro can vary from two to 36
hours, depending on temperature, humidity, and on how long
the KED
®
Pro was exposed to water during use or during
disinfecting and cleaning. (Moisture can be absorbed through
the sewing holes, wetting the battens inside the KED
®
Pro).
Important
Storing a damp or wet KED® Pro in its carrying case will
encourage the growth of mold. Do not return the KED®
Pro to its carrying case until it is thoroughly dry.

If inspection shows damage or excessive wear, remove the
KED
®
Pro from service and destroy to prevent accidental use.
