DISPOSING OF CS3024 HEAD COVER, CS3027 EXHALATION FILTER AND CS3039 STERI-
PLUS EXHALATION FILTER
Neither the Head Cover or the Exhalation Filters can be cleaned. Dispose of after use.
CLEANING THE HALF MASK HARNESS
Both CS3008 Harness – HALO and CS3031 Harness – HALO BIO can be cleaned with CleanSpace Wipes or with
warm soapy water. Because the straps are silicone, not fabric, CS3031 is more suitable for environments (for
instance hospital use) in which it is essential to ensure that all contaminants have been removed.
CLEANING THE FULL FACE MASK
The full face mask harness can be left attached to the mask.
Carrying out the following steps prior to cleaning the mask improves access.
Remove the inner mask
Pinch the two inner mask snaps together and pull the top of the
inner mask back.
Withdraw the inner mask from the main mask.
Raise the rain cover
There are two methods for cleaning the mask.
1. CleanSpace Non-Alcohol Wipes
 CleanSpace Cleaning Wipes are impregnated with benzalkonium chloride, a bactericidal solution ideally
suited for silicone face pieces.

 Clean all surfaces of the mask with a wipe.
 To clean the exhalation valve, lift the rain cover, clean the valve leaf and seat and lower the rain cover
again.

2. Hand wash in warm soapy water

Wash the mask thoroughly with a mild detergent in warm water (less than 122°F (50°C)).
 A soft brush or sponge can be used to remove any stubborn dirt or grit.
 To clean the exhalation valve, lift the rain cover, gently wash the warm water solution through the valve
from the inside and use a sponge to gently clean the valve surfaces. Remember to lower the rain cover
again when done.


Rinse the mask and valve well in warm running water. IMPORTANT: If the mask is not rinsed thoroughly,
residue from cleaning solution may irritate the wearer’s skin or cause the valve to stick.
Drying the mask
After cleaning, allow the mask to air dry in a clean environment, valve up to prevent water pooling. Note: Do not dry
the mask by exposing directly to heat i.e. hair dryers or heaters. The mask can also be hand-dried with a clean, lint-
free cloth. IMPORTANT: Cleaning can cause the exhalation valve leaf to stick. Before use, check that the exhalation
valve leaf operates freely by gently lifting the valve.
