Disposal of consumable articles
Consumable articles are listed at the bottom of page 87.
Consumable articles and articles with limited service life
(e.g. microbial filters, soda lime) can be disposed of
as household refuse if used for treating non-infectious
patients.
Infectious waste must be disposed in
accordance with regulations!
Wipe cleaning
Cato parts which can be wipe-cleaned are listed in the
table on page 87.
Use a disposable cloth moistened with disinfectant
cleaner.
Note effective time –
parts must only be wiped, not immersed –
do not allow liquid to seep inside the machine!
Cleaning and disinfection in automatic
cleaning and disinfection machines
Cato parts which can be cleaned and disinfected in this
way are listed in the table on page 87.

Disinfection with moist heat
«
(at least 93
°
C, at least 10 minutes).
Alkaline or chlorinated cleaning and disinfectant agents
must not be added due to the risk of corrosion!
Disinfection with formaldehyde vapour
Cato parts which can be treated in this way are listed in
the table on page 87.
Parts in contact with breathing gas (breathing hoses,
breathing bag, breathing system, soda lime container,
piston pump) must
not
be disinfected with formaldehyde
vapour!
Parts containing water, such as the humidifier or water
traps, should be removed since formaldehyde accu-
mulates here to a particularly large extent.
The machine can be disinfected with the supplementary
Dräger units in place when using formaldehyde vapour.
Electrical devices not made by Dräger and which may not
be resistant to formaldehyde must be removed first.
After disinfection in formaldehyde vapour, the machine
must be rinsed in fresh gas as specified in the Instructions
for Use of the disinfection equipment in order to eliminate
all formaldehyde residues (two rinses: O
2
/ AIR and then
O
2
/ N
2
O)! The rinsing effect can be verified by measuring
the formaldehyde concentration at the fresh gas outlet
(e.g. using Dräger formaldehyde test tubes 0.2/a).
