6. Decontamination
The following guidelines have been established in accordance with good infection
control practice.
Should you have any questions regarding cleaning or if you require further
information please contact your Huntleigh Healthcare service centre.
During Use It is recommended that, where practicable, all parts of
the system (including mattress, mattress top cover,
pump and tubeset) should be cleaned weekly whilst in
use.
To Clean All parts should be cleaned in between each patient use,
using a disposable cloth soaked in neutral detergent and
warm water.
Dry all parts thoroughly using a disposable cloth.
To Disinfect After cleaning, wipe over all parts with a solution of
sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) to a dilution of
1,000 ppm of available chlorine.
If any part is visibly contaminated in liquid blood,
increase the concentration of sodium dichloroiso-
cyanurate (NaDCC) solution to a dilution of 10,000 ppm
of available chlorine.
WARNING
Remove the electrical supply to the pump by disconnecting the
mains power cord from the mains power supply before cleaning.
Protective clothing should always be worn when carrying out
decontamination procedures.
Caution
Do not use Phenol-based solutions or abrasive compounds or pads
during the decontamination process as these will damage the
surface coating.
Avoid immersing electrical parts in water during the cleaning
process.
