Cleaning
Safety information on reprocessing
z Comply with the hospital hygiene regulations!
z Reprocess the medical device after every pati-
ent.
The reprocessing recommendations do not exempt
staff from the obligation to adhere to the hygiene
requirements and directives on occupational health
and safety relating to the reprocessing of medical
devices.
To ensure the professional reprocessing of medical
devices, the recommendations provided by the
Robert Koch Institute in "Demands on Hygiene in
Reconditioning Medical Products" should be follo-
wed.
Pre-cleaning
Reprocessing methods
Machine cleaning and disinfection
Use a washer-disinfector in accordance with
EN ISO 15883, preferably with a cart for anesthesia
and ventilation accessories, for automatic cleaning
and disinfection. Use mild alkaline or enzymatic
(with neutral pH) cleaning agents. The user must
strictly observe the manufacturer’s instructions for
use for the cleaning agent.
Placing parts in washer-disinfector
z Place parts in washer-disinfector. Observe
Instructions for Use of washer-disinfector.
z Position parts so that all interior spaces are
completely flushed (e.g. hoses) and water can
drain off freely.
Cleaning program
z Select suitable program (preferably anesthesia
program). Cleaning is carried out at 40 to 60 °C
(104 to 140 °F) for at least 5 minutes.
Thermal disinfection
z
Thermal disinfection is carried out at 80 to
95 °C (176 to 203 °F) and with corresponding
contact time.
z
Carry out final rinsing with deionized water.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury
Dismantling must be done outside of the MR
environment.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of infection to both hospital staff
and patients, clean and disinfect medical devices
after each use. Protective clothing, eye protection
etc. must be worn.
NOTE
To prevent heavy soiling of the breathing system,
which is comparable to surgical instruments (pro-
teins, blood, etc.), Dräger recommends the use of
disposable filters on the medical device.
Otherwise, the described contamination requires a
pre-cleaning in a ultrasonic bath. A positive clea-
ning effect, in the scope of the total pre-cleaning,
has been shown in a test with the disinfection
agent Gigasept AF (4 % solution).
Affected parts: compact breathing system, valve
cover, expiration nozzle, absorber and APL valve.
Afterwards rinse all parts thoroughly under running
water until no residue of the cleaning agents is
detected (approx. 5 min).
