Cleaning the pump
Routinely clean the pump to prevent buildup of dirt or
dried uids. Try to wipe spills o the pump right away to
avoid a sticky buildup, which will be harder to wipe o
later.
When cleaning the pump, ONLY use a sponge or so
cloth with a solution of warm water and a mild soap,
such as liquid dish or hand soap.
Routinely clean the pump to keep it free of dirt, liquids,
and foreign objects.
Use any of the following solutions to clean the pump and
accessories:
• Soap solution
• Benzalkonium chloride concentrate (0.13%)
• Glutaral concentrate, USP (2%)
• 10 percent solution of household bleach (one part
household bleach to 9 parts water)
• Alcohol, USP (93%)
• Isopropyl alcohol, USP (99%)
• Chlorohexidine (70%)
• PDI — Super Sani-Cloth®
• Mada Medical — MadaCide
1. Dampen a so, lint-free cloth with cleaning solu-
tion and wipe the exterior surface of the pump.
Do not allow the solution to soak into the pump.
2. Wipe the entire surface dry with another so,
lint-free cloth. Allow the pump to dry completely
before use.
Make sure to clean inside the battery or cartridge com-
partment. Moisten one end of a cotton swab (such as a
Q-tip®) and gently clean inside the compartment. Use
the dry end of the swab to dry the compartment.
Caution: Never use abrasive cleaners, solvents,
bleach, scouring pads or sharp instruments when
cleaning your pump, as they can scratch, discolor
or damage the pump’s outer shell. If the display is
scratched, it may be dicult to read and you will
need to have it replaced. If the outer shell is chipped
or cracked, it may no longer be watertight and will
require service.
Caution: Never use steam or very hot water (ex-
ceeding 120°F [49°C]) in an attempt to sterilize the
pump. Never put your pump in the dishwasher.
