Disinfection by disinfectant
Different disinfectants have different anti-bacterial actions. For sterilization and disinfection, follow the
instruction manual and the notes on each disinfectant.
The time to immerse the parts in the disinfectant
differs with the type of the disinfectant used.
However, 30 to 60 minutes or longer is common.
After immersing the parts, wash them sufficiently
with water and dry promptly. Carefully store the
parts so that they are not re-infected.
If a coloured disinfectant solution such as Hibitane
is used, some parts may be discoloured with
repeated use. However, it does not affect the
nebulising properties.
