Surface disinfection with cleaning

Categories:

– Flow tube

Prerequisites:

– The surface disinfectant has been prepared in

accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

– The manufacturer's instructions, e.g., regarding

shelf life or application conditions, are observed.

– An uncontaminated, lint-free cloth soaked in sur-

face disinfectant is used for the cleaning surface
disinfection.

Cleaning
1

Wipe off obvious soiling with a disposable cloth
soaked in surface disinfectant. Dispose of the
cloth.

Wipe all surfaces. After that, there must no lon-
ger be any soiling visible.

Surface disinfection
3

Wipe cleaned surfaces again to visibly wet all
surfaces to be disinfected with surface disinfec-
tant.

Wait for the surface disinfectant contact time.

At the end of the contact time, moisten a new,
uncontaminated, lint-free cloth with water (at
least drinking water quality).

Wipe all surfaces until no remains of the surface
disinfectant, such as foam residues or streaks,
are visible.

Wait until the surfaces are dry.

Check the surfaces for visible damage and, if
necessary, replace the product.

Manual precleaning (AGS header only)
1

Prepare the cleaning solution in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.

Immerse the product in the solution, making
sure to displace trapped air.

At the beginning and towards the end of the con-
tact time, swirl the product backwards and for-
wards several times in the solution. Make sure
that the solution reaches all surfaces and interior
spaces.

After the contact time has elapsed, rinse the
product under running water until residual clean-
ing agent is no longer discernible.

Check the product for visible damage and re-
place if necessary.

Thoroughly shake out residual water.

Refer to the sections "Preparation" and "Opera-
tion", see page 9.

Machine cleaning with thermal
disinfection

Use a washer-disinfector that meets the require-
ments of the standard ISO 15883. Dräger recom-
mends the use of a load carrier for anesthesia ac-
cessories and ventilation accessories. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for the washer-disinfec-
tor.

Components:

– AGS header
– Container for buffer volume
– Transfer hoses and scavenging hoses
– Plugs and adapters

Prerequisites:

The washer-disinfector has been prepared in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Positioning the components in the load carrier
Procedure:
1

Position the components to be stable.

Ensure the following:
– All surfaces and interiors can be completely

rinsed.

– The water can drain off freely.

Performing reprocessing
1

Select a cycle.

When the cycle has ended, check the compo-
nents for visible soiling and repeat the cycle if
necessary.

Check the components for visible damage and
replace if necessary.

Storage and transport

After reprocessing, there are no special require-
ments for storage and transport of the product. How-
ever, the following must be observed:
– Store dry and free of dust
– Avoid recontamination and damage during

transport

All further information on storage and transport in-

served.

Other agents

Disinfectants

Use nationally approved disinfectants suitable for
the respective reprocessing process and the intend-
ed application.

Surface disinfectants

The manufacturers of the surface disinfectants have
verified at least the following spectra of activity:
– Bactericidal
– Yeasticidal
– Virucidal or virucidal against enveloped viruses
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for surface
disinfectants.
The following surface disinfectants were compatible
with the material at the time of testing:

Dräger states that oxygen-releasing agents and
chlorine-releasing agents may cause color change
in some materials. Color change does not indicate
that the product is not functioning correctly.
