8. Decontamination
The following processes are recommended, but should be adapted to comply with the
local or national guidelines (Decontamination of Medical Devices) which may apply
within the Healthcare Facility or the country of use. If you are uncertain, you should
seek advice from your local Infection Control Specialist.
The WoundExpress Therapy Device should be routinely decontaminated between
patients and at regular intervals while in use; as is good practice for all reusable
medical devices.
WARNING
Remove the electrical supply to the pump by disconnecting the mains
power cord from the mains power supply before cleaning.
Protective clothing should always be worn when carrying out
decontamination procedures.
WARNING
Do not use Phenol-based solutions or abrasive compounds or pads
during the cleaning or decontamination process as these will damage
the surface coating. Avoid immersing electrical parts in water during
the cleaning process. Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the
pump. Do not immerse the tubeset in water.
8.1 Cleaning
Clean all exposed surfaces and remove any organic debris by wiping with a cloth
moistened with a simple (neutral) detergent and water.
Do not allow water or cleaning solutions to collect on the surface of the pump.
8.2 Chemical
Disinfection
We recommend a chlorine-releasing agent, such as sodium hypochlorite, at a strength of
1,000ppm available chlorine (this may vary from 250ppm to 10,000ppm depending on local policy
and contamination status).
Wipe all cleaned surfaces with the solution, then wipe using a cloth moistened with water and dry
thoroughly.
Alcohol based disinfectants (strength 70%) may be used as an alternative.
Ensure the product is dry before storage.
If an alternative disinfectant is selected from the wide variety available we recommend that
suitability for use is con
fi
rmed with the chemical supplier prior to use.
8.3
Cleaning and Sterilising Garments
Garments are single patient use and cannot be reprocessed.
The garment should be treated as domestic waste and disposed of accordingly.
