High level chemical disinfection
1. Soak the disassembled components in a commercially available solution of a chemical sterilant. Take care
that no air bubbles are trapped against the components.
2. Thoroughly rinse each component in drinking quality water (five litres per assembly) by immersing it
completely for a minimum of one minute in duration.
3. Repeat the rinse procedure two additional times using new drinking quality water for each rinse, for a
total of three rinses.
4. Air dry out of direct sunlight.
