Cleaning the Smoke Evacuator
4-2 RapidVac™ Smoke Evacuator Service Manual
Cleaning the Smoke Evacuator
Clean the smoke evacuator before servicing or testing to minimize the risk of
coming in contact with contaminants present from previous use.
1. Ensure that the power switch on the front panel is off (
O
).
2. Disconnect the power cord from the wall receptacle.
3. Thoroughly wipe all external surfaces with a mild detergent or disinfectant.
4. Thoroughly clean both sides of the flap covering the filter ports. Do not spray
liquid cleaner into the filter ports.
5. Clean the surface around the filter ports. Do not spray liquid cleaner into the
filter ports. Follow procedures approved by your institution, or use a validated
infection-control procedure.
6. Ensure the smoke evacuator is completely dry before use.
Warning
Always turn off and unplug the smoke evacuator before cleaning.
The tubing and filter capture potentially hazardous particles. When removed,
handle as you would any biohazardous material. Dispose of these items with
other operative waste materials according to the procedures for your institution.
Wear appropriate protective gear when cleaning the filter ports and covering flap
to avoid coming in contact with incidental contaminants on these surfaces.
Notice
Do not rub, touch, or clean the smoke evacuator with alcohol or caustic, corrosive
or abrasive cleaning or disinfectant compounds, solvents, or other materials that
could scratch the control panel or damage the smoke evacuator.
Do not autoclave, pressure sterilize, or gas sterilize the smoke evacuator.
Keep the smoke evacuator away from liquids. Liquids that enter the smoke
evacuator will damage internal components. Do not spray liquid cleaner into the
filter ports.
Warning
Wear protective gloves when cleaning around filter ports. Do not place fingers
into ports or touch the internal surface of the ULPA filter. Contaminants may be
present.
