Hygienic preparation 37
Silicone ventilation tubes, patient valves (see preced-
ing section) and ventilation masks can also be
autoclaved.
This does
not apply to disposable patient hose sys-
tem with patient valve WM 28110.
6.5 Fittings
In cases where external cleaning of fittings (e.g., pres-
sure reducer, valve) becomes absolutely essential,
use only a clean cloth which should either be dry or
moistened with clean water.
Never immerse fittings in disinfectant or other fluids.
Just wipe over with disinfectant. Fluids must not get
into the pressure reducer. Otherwise explosions
might occur.
6.6 Cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing
The hygienic preparation should be performed on
MEDUMAT Standard and the accessories used as de-
scribed in the following table.
Always follow the directions for use supplied with
the disinfectant. We recommend gigasept
®
FF (new)
for disinfecting by immersion and terralin
®
protect
for disinfecting by wiping. You are recommended to
wear suitable gloves (e.g. household or disposable
gloves) during disinfection procedures.
