• Initial Wipe:
Wipe the PureWick™ Urine Collection System base and power cord
thoroughly with a clean low lint cloth dampened with cool tap water. Remove any
excess dirt by wiping the unit with disposable low lint wipes.
• Cleaning:
Prepare enzymatic cleaner solution (e.g. Enzol Enzymatic Cleaner or
equivalent) following the manufacturer’s recommendation of 1 oz. (approximately
29 mL) per gallon (approximately 4 L) of warm tap water (ratio and water
temperature per manufacturer's recommendation if applicable). Wipe the device
and power cord with a low lint cloth dampened with the solution. Allow the device
and power cord to remain wet for a minimum of ten (10) minutes, ensuring that the
device and power cord are visibly wet for the ten (10) minutes. Using a soft bristle
brush (e.g. toothbrush), brush all accessible areas of the PureWick™ Urine Collection
System base and power cord for a minimum of one (1) minute to remove any
visible signs of debris or dirt.
• Rinse:
Using a new clean low lint cloth, wipe the PureWick™ Urine Collection
System base and power cord thoroughly with cool tap water to remove the
enzymatic cleaning solution. Perform this step until there is no visible sign of the
cleaning solution.
• Visual inspection:
Inspect the PureWick™ Urine Collection System base and
power cord to ensure that all debris and dirt have been removed. If there is any
sign of debris or dirt, repeat the steps above until there is no sign of debris or dirt
remaining on the PureWick™ Urine Collection System base and power cord.
• Disinfection:
Use 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to completely wet a clean low lint
cloth and wipe down the device and power cord. Allow the disinfecting solution
to remain on the PureWick™ Urine Collection System base and power cord for
a minimum of ten (10) minutes, ensuring the unit is visibly wet with IPA for ten
(10) minutes.
• Rinse:
Using a new clean low lint cloth, wipe the PureWick™ Urine Collection
System base and power cord thoroughly with cool tap water to remove the
disinfecting solution.
