Manual disinfection:
A) EUP-CC531S
1) Prepare the disinfectant solution in a tank with cold water (please
follow the instructions of the disinfectant manufacturer regarding
application, concentration, microbiological efficiency, service
life and contact time).
2) Confirm the concentration of the disinfectant before immersing the
probe. Although Cidex® OPA does not need to be diluted, it is
recommended to use test strips to verify the concentration. The test
strips can indicate whether or not the concentration is above the
Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC). Please also note the
expiration date of the test stripes. Temperature of disinfectant
solution should be minimum 20 °C. The minimum contact time is 5
minutes. If a different disinfectant is used, follow the
manufacturer's instructions. Please also consider the material
compatibility for the medical device.
3) Immerse the immersible part of the probe into the disinfectant (see
Fig.17). Use the syringe via the Luer inlet to fill and rinse the
lumen with the disinfectant solution. The lumen of the probe is rinsed
5 times under the surface of the disinfectant solution with 50 ml
disinfectant. Set a clock to insure the recommended contact time
which is 5 minutes. Note that air inside the lumen should be removed
to disinfect properly.
4) Rinse the immersible part of the probe and the lumen of the probe
with deionized water for 1 minute, ensuring that the lumen is rinsed
properly.
(alternatively: immerse the immersible part of the probe in a tray
filled with deionized water (see Fig.17) for 5 min. and rinse the
lumen of the probe with 50 ml deionized water 5 times by using the
syringe)
5) Visually check the outer surface of the probe for leavings of the
disinfectant. If necessary, repeat the rinsing.
