Cleaning and care
Below are common methods and cautions relating to
cleaning and caring for the infusion pump.
WARNING:
Power Source
: To avoid electric shock,
before cleaning, always switch electrically operated
equipment off and disconnect from AC power source.
CAUTIONS:
•
DO NOT USE
cleaning solutions containing:
acetone
,
ammonia
,
ammonium chloride
(including
Hyamine 1622),
aromatic solvents
(such as paint
thinner, toluene, methylbenzene),
chlorinated
solvents
(such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK),
trichloroethane),
ether
(such as ethylene glycol
monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol butyl ether) or
oxidizing acids
(such as phosphoric acid, sulfuric
acid or accelerated hydrogen peroxide).
Use of the solutions or solvents listed as DO
NOT USE could damage plastic parts and cause
premature failure or device malfunction.
•
Use only the recommended cleaning/disinfecting
agents and method.
Use of cleaning/disinfecting
agents and method other than those listed may
cause damage to the pump and will void the
warranty.
• Spray Resistant:
The pump is “spray resistant”
from the top and sides but not “water proof”.
NEVER
spray cleaning or other fluids directly
into openings on the bottom of the pump.
• Not Waterproof:
The pump is not certified “water
proof”. Never immerse the pump in water or
other fluids.
• Avoid wiping or spraying the barrel clamp rod
and syringe plunger driver rod (see page 8) as
they are coated with a light layer of grease (refer
pump to service personnel if these parts require
cleaning).
• Avoid Oil Sprays:
NEVER
use light oil sprays
(
e.g.
, WD40
®
) to clean or lubricate pump. These
oils contain chemicals that can damage the
plastic of the pump.
• Never Autoclave:
NEVER
sterilize the pump in
a steam autoclave or gas. Using autoclave or gas
sterilization can seriously damage the infusion
pump and void the warranty.
1. The following agents have been tested
and can be used to safely clean the syringe
pump without damaging the pump housing
when the procedure listed in item 2, below,
is used:
• Isopropyl alcohol 70% solution
• Household bleach (Sodium
Hypochlorite), (6% solution diluted to
1:6) or 1.0%
• Sani-Cloth
®
Bleach by PDI
• Mild detergent mixed with water (has
no disinfection properties)
2. Clean by spraying cleaning agent directly
onto a soft cloth (or use wipes/cloths listed)
and wipe pump, then wipe surfaces dry.
Never allow cleaning agents to pool on the
device as prolonged contact could damage
the pump and its components.
