Cleaning
WARNING:
To help prevent cross-contamination, replace the SPU circuit between
patients. Failure to do so could cause infection.
WARNING:
Do not use phenolic, alcohol, quaternary ammonium chloride, or bleach
solutions to clean the patient circuit. Use these solutions to clean the
controller only. Injury or equipment damage can occur.
Replace the circuit between patients, when it is damaged, and when it is
visibly soiled. Do not disinfect or sterilize the circuit for reuse with more
than one patient.
The SPU circuit is intended for a maximum of 30 treatments or 7 days of
use.
These cleaning instructions are for single-patient multiple-use.
Clean the circuit as follows:
1. Disconnect the circuit from the controller.
2. Discard any unused medication in accordance with facility protocol.
3. Disconnect the handset from the circuit tubing.
4. Examine the inside of the circuit tubing for dirt or liquid. If you see
either of these, replace the circuit.
5. Remove the mouthpiece, adapters, and nebulizer from the handset.
6. Rinse the nebulizer cup with sterile water.
7. Wash the handset, mouthpiece, and adapters with warm soapy water.
8. Rinse the handset, mouthpiece, and adapters thoroughly.
9. Let the handset, nebulizer cup, mouthpiece, and adapters air dry or
dry with a lint free cloth or paper towel.
10. Wipe down the outside of the circuit tubing with an approved alcohol
based cleaner.
11. After all parts are dry, assemble the circuit, and put it in a breathable
bag with the patient’s name on it for use later.
