HIGH FLOW INSUFFLATION UNIT UHI-4
Cleaning Insufflation Tube (MAJ-590) and Suction Tube
(MAJ-591)
• When residual organic debris attached to this product,
residual organic debris will begin to dry and solidify, hindering
effective removal and reprocessing efficacy.
• Rinse thoroughly; residual detergent solution may cause
staining or corrosion.
• Always wear personal protective equipment to assist in
reducing infection control risks and tissue irritation.
• Do not use a surface reactant or a disinfectant containing
surface reactant. To prevent the equipment from being
damaged, be sure to use the cleaning water.
When feeding air or liquid into the tube using a syringe, apply
the tip of the syringe firmly to the end of the tube. If air
bubbles or residual liquid cannot be removed by single
air/liquid feed, repeat the air/liquid feed from the syringe a
few times.
Figure 6.5
If manual cleaning could not be performed within 1 hour after the patient
procedure or if you are not sure whether manual cleaning could be performed
within 1 hour, dispose of the Insufflation Tube and Suction Tube because the
effectiveness of reprocessing is not guaranteed.
