4.4.7
Always keep the nozzle of the APA pointed away from you or anyone else, even when the
unit is not activated.
4.4.8
Application of the solution is left to the discretion of the operator. It should be
adjusted appropriately for the situation at hand. A distance of approximately 24”
-
36”
should be kept from the area being decontaminated to avoid excessive wetting.
4.4.9
Similar to spray painting, broad even strokes, applied directly to the surface should be
used.
4.4.10
The objective to spraying is to deposit a thin, even layer of material on the surface being
decontaminated. However, the APA affords the ability to concentrate the solution on known,
highly contaminated surfaces such as door handles, keyboards, toilet seats etc.
4.4.11
It is recommended that operators practice with distilled or deionized water to become
familiar with the operation of the device and the characteristics of the aerosol spray prior to
performing actual field decontamination activities.
4.4.12
If there is any excess fluid remaining on surfaces, you may wipe it up or allow it to dry
naturally.
4.4.13
After completion of the decontamination cycle, flip the red arming switch up to the ON
position to disengage the unit in Hand Applicator Mode. Doing this will prevent the unit
from accidentally activating.
4.4.14
Disconnect the APA hose from the unit.
4.3.15
Disconnect the unit from its power source.
4.3.16
Disconnect and remove the disinfectant reservoir from the unit.
4.3.17
Prior to closing the lid on the unit, coil up the power cord and store it in the empty space
where the disinfectant reservoir was
housed.
4.4.18 After application, continue to ventilate the area.
