Cleaning
4. After you clean the controller or stand, make sure it is dry before you
use it.
CLEANING THE CIRCUIT
To help prevent cross-contamination and/or equipment damage, obey
these warnings and cleaning instructions:
• 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.
If the system is shared by multiple users, replace the circuit when used
between patients.
Replace the circuit if it is damaged or visibly soiled. Do not disinfect or
sterilize the circuit for reuse by more than one patient.
The circuit is intended for a maximum of 30 treatments or 7 days of use,
subjected to use by the same patient.
These cleaning instructions are for multiple usage of the circuit by a single
patient. The circuit has been tested for compatibility with warm soapy
water for cleaning. The facility should follow their internal infection
control policies on cleaning the nebulizer and circuit. If a policy is not in
place, the following is a guideline for proper cleaning of the circuit:
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.
