7. Decontamination
The following processes are recommended, but should be adapted to comply with
the local or national guidelines (Decontamination of Medical Devices) which may
apply within the Healthcare Facility or the country of use. If you are uncertain, you
should seek advice from your local Infection Control Specialist.
The
Flowtron Universal
system should be routinely decontaminated between patients
and at regular intervals while in use; as is good practice for all reusable medical devices.
To clean Clean all exposed surfaces and remove any organic debris
by wiping with a cloth moistened with a simple (neutral)
detergent and water.
Do not allow water or cleaning solutions to collect on the
surface of the pump.
Chemical Disinfection We recommend a chlorine-releasing agent, such as sodium
hypochlorite, at a strength of 1,000ppm available chlorine
(this may vary from 250ppm to 10,000ppm depending on
local policy and contamination status).
Wipe all cleaned surfaces with the solution,
then wipe
using a cloth moistened with water and dry thoroughly.
Alcohol based disinfectants (strength 70%) may be used as
an alternative.
Ensure the product is dry before storage.
If an alternative disinfectant is selected from the wide
variety available we recommend that suitability for use is
confirmed with the chemical supplier prior to use.
WARNING
Remove the electrical supply to the pump by disconnecting the mains
power cord from the mains power supply before cleaning.
Protective clothing should always be worn when carrying out
decontamination procedures.
Caution
Do not use Phenol-based solutions or abrasive compounds or pads
during the decontamination process as these will damage the surface
coating. Avoid immersing electrical parts in water during the cleaning
process. Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the pump. Do not
immerse the tubeset in water.
Caution
Garments are single patient use and hence cannot be cleaned or reused.
