6.6 CP_IFU_16-XX-XX_USA_015
6.3 Disinfection of the water circuits
Prior to operating the heater-cooler for the first time, when placing the system in storage and
during regular operation, the water circuits must be disinfected at intervals of 14 days.
The Heater-Cooler 3T water circuits include the pump, heating and cooling tanks, fittings and all
interconnecting tubing.
For disinfection of the water circuits, use Clorox Regular Bleach (active ingredient: 8.25% sodium
hypochlorite), Minncare Cold Sterilant or another SORIN GROUP approved disinfectant.
Note that Clorox Regular Bleach and Minncare Cold Sterilant have been tested for the use with the
heater-cooler. Other disinfectants with the same peracetic acid or sodium hypochlorite
concentration can contain different additives which may influence the material compatibility. Thus,
the use of any other disinfectant is explicitly not recommended.
◗ During the disinfection cycle, thoroughly follow the manufacturer's safety instructions that are
provided with Clorox Regular Bleach or Minncare Cold Sterilant.
!
◗ Clorox Regular Bleach or Minncare Cold Sterilant must only be used pre- and postoperatively,
never during a surgical intervention.
◗ Pay attention to hand hygiene and protective barriers by disinfecting your hands and using
disposable gloves.
