Chapter 8 MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean the pump with a soft, lint-free cloth or swab dampened with soap and
water, a general nonstaining chemical disinfectant, or alcohol (90%
concentration or less.).
DO NOT use acetone solutions containing
glutaraldehyde, ammonium chlorides or abrasive cleansers on the
pump
. If you feel it necessary, Betadine or Iodine solutions may be used,
but they will stain the device.
As a general recommendation for cleaning and disinfection of this device,
use a lintfree cloth dampened with a 0.5% Sodium Hypochlorite solution
(one part bleach with nine parts water). The solution is most effective when
prepared weekly and allowed to remain on the device for approximately 10
minutes prior to wiping off. Please be sure NOT to use abrasive cleaning
tools or pressurized spraying devices for these may damage the pressure
transducer or cause fluid intrusion.
Warning:
To avoid mechanical or electronic damage, do not steam
autoclave or immerse the pump in any fluids or cleaning
solutions.
Caution
: To avoid electrical shock, turn off the pump and disconnect it
from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Sterilization of the pump using ethylene oxide (EtO) gas is not
recommended.
