Device Cleaning and Disinfection When There is a Patient Change
DeVilbiss Healthcare recommends that at least the following procedures be carried out by the manufacturer or a qualified third party between uses by different patients.
NOTE
– When the device is used as per instructions under normal conditions the interior of the device is protected from exposure to pathogens by the in-line filter on the
collection container, hence no disinfection of internal components is necessary.
NOTE
– If the device is used without an in-line filter then the interior of the device may be exposed to pathogens and the device cannot be disinfected.
NOTE
– If the following described complete processing of the device by an appropriately trained individual is not possible, the device should not be used by another patient.
1. Use disinfectants safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
2. Always wear personal protective equipment when performing this procedure. Use suitable gloves and safety glasses. Cover exposed skin on arms to prevent accidental
contact with bleach solution that has been applied to the device. Perform disinfection in a well-ventilated area.
3. Dispose of all accessories that are not suitable for reuse. This includes but may not be limited to the collection container, filter, tubing and carrying case.
4. With the power switch in the “Off” position, disconnect the device from all external power sources.
5. Visually inspect the device for any damage, missing parts, etc.
6. Clean the exterior of the device with a clean lint-free cloth. Heavy soil should be removed with a clean lint-free cloth dampened with water. A soft bristled brush
dampened with water can be used to remove stubborn soil. Dry the device using a clean lint-free cloth if water was used to remove soil.
7. Use 5.25% chlorine bleach (Clorox Regular Liquid Bleach or equivalent). Mix one (1) part bleach with four (4) parts water in an appropriate clean container. This ratio
produces a one (1) part bleach to five (5) total parts solution (1:5). The total volume (amount) of solution required is determined by the number of devices in need of
disinfection.
NOTE
– An alternate suitable commercial (bacterial-germicidal) disinfectant that meets the requirements listed in the NOTE below and is used as per the
disinfectant manufacturer’s recommended dilution rates and instructions may also be used.
CAUTION
– Do not submerge the device in water as this will result in damage to the vacuum pump.
NOTE
– Do not use any cleaners or disinfectants that contain ammonia, benzene and/or acetone to clean the device.
8. Apply the bleach solution in an even manner to the enclosure and power cord using a clean lint-free cloth. The cloth should be dampened only and not dripping of
solution. Do not use a spray bottle to apply the solution. Do not saturate the device with the solution. Avoid over-saturating the enclosure seams so that no solution
residue builds up in these areas.
9. Exposure time of the disinfectant solution should be 10 minutes minimum to 15 minutes maximum.
10. After the recommended exposure time, all exterior surfaces of the device are to be wiped with a clean lint-free cloth dampened with drinking quality water no warmer than
room temperature. Dry the device with a dry, clean lint-free cloth. This is to remove residue that may stain or leave a film on the device, especially after repeated
disinfections.
