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.
