CAUTION: To avoid damaging the Narkomed 2B:
• Do not use Betadine®, Povodine®, Sagrotan®,
Mucocit®, acetone, ketone, xylene, or anesthetic agents
for cleaning.
• Dilute cleaning agents before use by strictly following
the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not use abrasives such as steel wool, liquid
abrasives, or powder abrasives on the machine.
• Do not let any liquid enter the interior of the machine.
• Do not submerge any part of the system, unless
specifically instructed to do so in this manual.
• Do not pour or spray liquid directly on the machine
during cleaning. Always moisten a soft-lint free cloth
with the appropriate cleanser before applying it to the
machine.
• Wipe any spills and cleanser off the equipment
surfaces immediately.
Clean painted, plated, and plastic surfaces with a soft lint-free cloth
moistened with mild detergent and water. Follow up with a 70% to 90%
diluted solution of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol or sodium hypochlorite
(5.2% household bleach) at 1:500 dilution (100 ppm chlorine).
NOTE: North American Dräger makes no claims about the efficacy of
these agents or this method of cleaning for infection control.
Consult your hospital's infection control officer or
epidemiologist.
Contact with oxygen, ether, mineral or vegetable oils, phenols, cresois,
terpenes, hydrocarbon solvents, chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters, or
oxidizing acids hastens the deterioration process for rubber goods.
Check the hoses, mask elbow, and breathing bag often for signs of
deterioration, including swelling, tackiness, or cracking. Replace the
affected parts when any of these conditions are evident.
Thoroughly clean rubber goods with mild alkali detergent and water
before disinfecting them. Then, thoroughly rinse them with water to
remove all detergent. To prevent water spots, use distilled or
demineralized water. Avoid using hard-bristle brushes.
