10 2 weekly maintenance
It is strongly recommended that this system be
disinfected by chemically flushing the waterlines with
a 1:10 Sodium Hypochlorite solution (NaOCl) at the
end of each week. This can be accomplished by
connecting this device to the Cavitron DualSelect
Dispensing System or a number of other devices
available from your local distributors. Where this device
is connected to the Cavitron DualSelect Dispensing
System, please follow the DualSelect system's Directions
for Use manual. If connected to another device, please
follow those directions for use, keeping in mind that
a chemical flush should be performed at maximum water
flow for at least 30 seconds. The system should be left
undisturbed for 10 minutes but no more than 30 minutes
to allow the sodium hypochlorite solution to soak in the
lines. As a suggestion, it is recommended that a sign
be placed on the system stating that the SYSTEM IS
BEING DISINFECTED WITH A STRONG DISINFECTANT
AND SHOULD NOT BE USED. When ready, flush system
with clean water for at least 30 seconds or until sodium
hypochlorite odor disappears. ALL CHEMICALS MUST
BE FLUSHED FROM THE SYSTEM BEFORE IT IS READY
FOR PATIENT USE.
