Cleaning and disinfecting
Use surface disinfectants. To ensure material
compatibility, use disinfectants based on:
– Aldehydes
– Alcohol
– Quaternary ammonia compounds
Disinfectants based on:
– Compounds containing phenol
– Compounds releasing halogen
– Strong organic acids
– Compounds releasing oxygen
may cause damage to materials, particularly those
used for the breathing valve, flow sensor and angled
connector.
Users in the Federal Republic of Germany are
recommended to use only disinfectants on the current
DGHM list (DGHM: German Society for Hygiene and
Microbiology).
The following disinfectants on the DGHM list are
recommended:
Dismozon pur, Incidur, Sekusept Powder, Trichlorol
The DGHM list (published by: mhp-Verlag, Wiesbaden)
also specifies the active ingredient in each disinfectant.
Disinfectants based on the active ingredients specified
above are recommended for users in those countries in
which the DGHM list is not available.
