Hygienic Requirements
We draw your attention to the following minimal hygienic requirements for the
application of TECOTHERM NEO hypothermia system, procedures and components
To meet these minimal hygienic requirements we recommend a careful disinfecting
cleaning of applied parts (mattresses etc.), hoses and QDC.
This disinfecting cleaning may be performed by wiping with a mild liquid disinfectant
appropriate for medical purposes.
9.1.
Cleaning and Disinfecting TECOTHERM NEO
Attention
Prior to cleaning and disinfecting switch off system
and unplug mains!
The external cleaning and disinfecting of the device including hoses should be
performed using a damp sponge or cloth both soaked with a liquid disinfectant, or a
spray disinfectant in combination with a dry cloth.
Clean and disinfect device bottom
side (ventilation holes) generally once every 1-2 months and just before next treatment
as a part of the system preparation.
Inspect once every three months that air ventilation holes in the device bottom side are
not flue covered and free from dust. Remove flues and dust using a small vacuum
cleaner.
9.2
Mattresses, thermally insulated hoses, tubing
Mattresses can be used multiple times and have to be cleaned/ disinfected, see above.
Usually mattresses will not directly come into contact with normal skin surface due to
the protective interlayer. After treatment, disinfectant cleaning of the mattress should
be performed by wiping a mild liquid disinfectant appropriate for medical purposes.
Attention
Do not try to sterilise mattress!
Attention:
Mattress application is only allowed in combination with
thin fabric protective interlayer coated with plastics coating at bottom side.
Such interlayer components are part of the TECOTHERM NEO
accessories and can be supplied by the distributors or the manufacturer.
Such protective interlayer is disposable single-use products.
Attention:
When the mattress
has been in contact with blood or
human secretion, during treatment, it must not be used
more than once! Dispose of mattress in accordance with local standards
for single use items.
Note
Drain and replace TECOmed fluid in the mattresses at least every
3 months after last filling.
