Cleaning the Pump
To clean the pump:
1. Turn the pump off and unplug the AC power adaptor from the power source.
2. Place the pump in an upright position.
3. Apply the compatible cleaning agent with a dampened cloth per the manufacturers’ instruc-
tions using appropriate dilution ratio.
Disinfectants should remain on the pump’s surface in an even, but not dripping, film for the
recommended contact time for the compatible cleaning agents.
4. Open the pump’s door using a standard IV set’s slide clamp.
5. Clean the speaker vent, power adaptor connector, door release, keyhole and pumping
channel areas with soft swabs.
6. Apply solutions sparingly to the swabs and wipe down the necessary areas.
Do not use rigid cleaning instruments or spray solutions directly on the pump and its acces-
sories.
NOTE: For severe solution spills it is recommended that the Standard Battery/
Wireless Battery Module be removed. The Battery Pack cavity area of the
pump may be cleaned by wiping down those regions with a dampened
cloth as described previously.
7. Dispose of all cleaning materials (including the slide clamp) as required per facility proto-
col/biohazard policy.
