Agents and methods
Disposal of throw-away articles
Throw-away articles and articles with limited service life
(e.g. microbial filters, soda lime) can be disposed of as
household refuse if used for treating non-infectious
patients. Infectious waste must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations!
Wipe cleaning
Cicero parts which can be wipe-cleaned are listed in
the table on page 125.
Use a disposable cloth moistened with disinfectant
cleaner.
Note effective time -
parts must only be wiped, not immersed -
do not allow liquid to seep inside the machine!
Cleaning and disinfection in automatic
cleaning and disinfection machines
Cicero parts which can be cleaned and disinfected in
this way are listed in the table on page 125.
»Disinfection with moist heat« (at least 93 °C, at least
10 minutes).
Alkaline or chlorinated cleaning and disinfectant agents
must not be added due to the risk of corrosion.
Disinfection with formaldehyde vapour
Cicero parts which can be treated in this way are listed
in the table on page 125.
Parts in contact with breathing gas (breathing hoses,
breathing bag, breathing system, soda lime container,
piston pump) must not be disinfected with formaldehyde
vapour. Parts containing water, such as the humidifier or
water traps, should be removed since formaldehyde
accumulates here to a particularly large extent.
Formaldehyde vapour may only be used to disinfect
the device without system screen, parameter box and
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Other electrical
devices not supplied by Dräger must be removed if
you are not certain of their resistance to formaldehyde
vapour.
Repeated disinfecting with formaldehyde may perma-
nently modify paints, surface finishes and plastics!
After disinfection in formaldehyde vapour, the machine
must be rinsed in fresh gas as specified in the Instructions
for Use of the disinfection equipment in order to eliminate
all formaldehyde residues (two rinses: O
/ AIR and then
2
O
/ N
O)! The rinsing effect can be verified by measur-
2

ing the formaldehyde concentration at the fresh gas outlet
(e.g. using Dräger formaldehyde test tubes 0.2/a).
