Cleaning and Disinfecting the Volcano System
Clean and disinfect the system, patient interface module, and other parts of the
equipment as needed with common detergents, liquid chemical germicide,
bactericide, and antiviral solutions such as morning mist among others, using
warm water and a soft cloth.
To prevent any patient contamination, always clean and disinfect parts of the
equipment which were in patient vicinity with a bactericidal, germicidal and
antiviral solution after each procedure. Ensure the solution used is active against
HIV virus and hepatitis B virus.
Do not use solvents to clean any portion of the system.
Avoid allowing liquids to enter the system openings, especially the keyboard,
monitor housing, and patient interface module.
Remove front panel to clean fan filters as needed or if any dirt and lint
accumulates on the back of the PC module.
NOTE: No portion of the system should be immersed in water or other fluids. Never use
acetone to clean the bedside peripheral, plastic housings, or patient interface module.
CAUTION: Never spray or otherwise apply any cleaner directly into the openings or
seams of the system. Always apply the cleaner to the cloth instead.
Pay special care to the catheter/cable connections during cleaning to avoid
unnecessary bending or breaking.
Monitor Care
Follow the hospital’s protocol for the handling of blood and body fluids. Clean the
display with a diluted mixture of mild detergent and water. Use a soft towel or swab.
Use of certain cleaning agents may cause degradation of the plastic enclosure and labels
