4.2. Cleaning the CAREvent® ALS
Resuscitator and Accessories
Routine cleaning of the equipment should be undertaken to
maintain the equipment in a clean condition.
Reusable patient valve swivel housing and diaphram can be cleaned
using a mild soap solution and disinfected using a legally marketed
commercially available disinfectant, suitable for the application.
Single use patient valves and masks should be discarded after
each patient use and replaced with a new unit.
All other components should be wiped clean with a mild soap
solution. Under no circumstances should the complete unit be
allowed to be soaked or immersed in cleaning solutions.
