CARE, CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
The TCU should undergo surface disinfecEon on a daily basis* to minimize surface contaminaEon. Clean all external
surfaces of the TCU with a pre-­‐moistened germicidal wipe product such as Clorox® DisinfecEng Wipes. Be sure to allow
the appropriate contact Eme as specified by the product's instrucEons. Ensure that moisture does not enter the case of
the TCU at the seams or at the two electrical jacks. The control buYons on the faceplate are sealed against moisture
entry.
The HHT should undergo cleaning and disinfecEon on a daily basis* to remove possible accumulaEon of secreEons and
to minimize surface contaminaEon. To clean the HHT, first remove the Y-­‐adapter, mouthpiece, variable expiratory
resistor and screw-­‐on cone. Wash these parts with soap and warm water, rinse with sterile water then disinfect by
soaking in a soluEon of 1 part household bleach and 50 parts water for 3 minutes. Spread all parts on a clean paper
towel to air dry. Also remove the Circulaire, if present, and clean it according to its instrucEons.
Do not immerse the handle or speaker part of the HHT in any liquid. Clean the outside surface of the HHT and the
transducer diaphragm with a pre-­‐moistened germicidal wipe product such as Clorox® DisinfecEng Wipes. Allow the
appropriate contact Eme as specified by the product's instrucEons. Allow to dry before reassembling and using.
The disposable HHT and all associated plasEc parts may be discarded into the usual waste stream in accord with
local regulaEons. The TCU contains a lithium-­‐ion baYery pack, which, in most states, can be disposed of via normal
waste management procedures. If in doubt, please check your local regulaEons.
* Westmed recommends cleaning and disinfecEon at the end of each treatment day.
