Special Operating and Cleaning Instructions for Institutional Use
Preparing Infant Formulas and
Adult Enteral Products
Refer to the instructions for installing and mixing with
the cutting blades. Be sure that the mixer and any
containers have been properly cleaned and sanitized
before using.
Follow the additional guidelines below:
1.
Always clean the cutter attachment thoroughly
between different formula types to avoid cross
contamination. The attachment should be
removed and washed with detergent, then rinsed
thoroughly, before mixing a new type of product.
2.
Measure powder or liquid ingredients for the
formula mixture. Add approximately half of the
final volume of water to the mixing container.
3.
Mix formula for 15–60 seconds on low power
until all traces of powder have been incorporated
into the liquid, or until all liquid ingredients are
thoroughly blended.
4.
Add remaining water and blend 15–30 seconds
on low power.
NOTE:
Some very difficult to blend powdered
formulas may require using a slightly longer
blending time or high power.
Special Cleaning Instructions for
Hospital and Institutional Use
To ensure that the mixer and blades remain sanitary,
follow the special cleaning instructions below.
1.
Wash the cutter attachment with an approved
detergent after every use, including when
changing formula types, as described in the
section “General Cleaning with the Attachment
in Place” on page 6.
2.
At least once per day, sanitize the cutter
attachment per the “Sanitizing” instructions
on page 6. The cutter attachment may also
be removed and washed in a dishwasher that
provides a final rinse temperature of 180°–195° F
(82°–91° C), or as required to meet local
sanitation codes.
3.
After cleaning, attachments should be air dried
and stored in a closed container or wrapped to
protect them from contamination.
The cutter attachment may also be washed and
autoclaved by the hospital’s central processing
department. Be sure to follow all required safety and
sanitation codes.
