Cleaning, Environmental Conditions, and
Maintenance
Following the guidelines for care listed below will assure the best appearance and longest life of the Moog
Curlin Infusion pump.
Cleaning
The Moog Curlin Infusion pumps are designed to be resistant to fluid spillage from any direction
but are not to be immersed in solutions. Keep the pump and the pumping surfaces clean, dry, and
free of fluid spillage at all times. Do not use the pump in the shower, sauna, or steam bath and
do not position the pump where it could accidentally be dropped into a container of fluid, (e.g.
basin, tub, or toilet). The pumping surfaces can be cleaned with a cloth dampened with any of the
following solutions, and dried with a soft cloth without harming the pump.
Clean the pump, remote bolus cord, AC adaptor, safety shells, holster and battery pack with a soft
cloth dampened in any of the following:
• Warm soapy water (do not submerse)
• Isopropyl alcohol
• Household bleach, diluted 9:1 with water
• Commercial disinfectant
(Do NOT spray the cleaning solution directly on the pump.)
The following cleaning/disinfecting methods are specifically
prohibited:
• Do not use full strength bleach
• Do not autoclave or use steam sterilization
• Do not clean in a dishwasher
• Do not use acetone, lacquer thinner, or any other solvents or
abrasive cleansers to clean the pump
With proper care, the pump will retain its finish for many years of
service.
