vPad-IV OPERATORS MANUAL
DO NOT
use
window glass cleaners
, such as
Windex®
and similar household
cleaners, with vPad-IV. Such cleaners include hydrophobic or water-repelling
additives which can disrupt operation of the vPad-IV flow sensor.
5.3.2 Cleaning Procedure
a.
Select a suitable cleaning agent as specified in Section 5.3.1, according to personal preference, local
availability, and/or workplace guidelines. Prepare the cleaning solution in the concentration specified
in the table of Section 5.3.1. When using Micro-90® in water, effectiveness of the cleaner may be
increased by warming it in a microwave oven immediately prior to use; raise the solution temperature
to 50
O
C or until the container is warm to the touch, and do not allow the solution to boil.
b.
Fill a disposable 60 ml syringe with the cleaning solution and connect the syringe to the fluid input
of the vPad-Module to be cleaned. Do not use the same syringe you use for vPad-IV priming
because the cleaning solution will remove the syringe's lubricant.
c.
Discharge the entire syringe into the Module at about 2 ml per second. Refill the syringe and then
repeat. Under no circumstances should you quickly draw solution back into the syringe as the
excessive suction may damage internal sensors.
d.
Let the cleaning solution sit in the Module for about 10 to 15 minutes.
DO NOT
leave the cleaning
solution in the unit for an extended period as prolonged exposure to the solution may cause damage
to internal plastic components.
e.
Flush the Module thoroughly with distilled water to remove all cleaning solution from the fluid
system, as described in paragraph "c" above.
f.
If the Module has been contaminated with a sticky liquid (e.g. dextrose (D50W), TPN solution,
etc.), you may need to perform this procedure using a cleaning solution that has higher
concentration. In such situations, use undiluted Sudsy Ammonia, or for other solutions, double the
volume of the active agent (ammonia or Micro-90) in water.
DO NOT
allow the cleaning solution to
remain in the Module for more than 10 minutes maximum, and be sure to thoroughly rinse the
instrument with distilled water afterwards as described in paragraph "e" above.
