CLEANING PHASE
•
Clean the units housing, cable and couplings on all its accessible surfaces by wiping surfaces thoroughly
with a disposable, clean, non-linting cloth moistened with the suggested cleaning solution, ensuring that
moisture does not enter critical areas of the device (e.g., power connections) until all visible soil (i.e., blood
and fluids) is removed.
•
In particular clean the following critical areas/items:
main switch,
o
o
control and display elements (chapter 6 "DISPLAY"),
bracket,
o
COLIBRĺ Flowmeter
o
•
•
If using the aqueous alcohol solution (70% ethanol / 30% water), no rinsing is required, while if
using other cleaning solution for sensitive medical devices, where rinsing of residuals is required, rinse all
cleaned parts by wiping surfaces thoroughly with a damp, disposable, clean, non-linting cloth until all
loosened soil and residual detergent is removed.
Warning
•
Residuals remaining on the surfaces might react with the disinfectant.
•
Cleaning solution and water should be changed at each cleaning session and when visibly
soiled.
•
Chemical disinfection prior to cleaning is unnecessary, ineffective and of little value in the
presence of organic matter.
•
Drying prevents microbial growth and dilution of chemical disinfectants, which may render
them ineffective.

DISINFECTION PHASE
After thorough cleaning, disinfect all accessible surfaces, power supply cable and couplings, ensuring that moisture
does not enter critical areas of the device.
•
In particular disinfect the following critical areas/items:
main switch,
o
control and display elements (chapter "DISPLAY"),
o
unit couplings of front and rear panel,
o
bracket,
o
o
COLIBRĺ Flowmeter
•
Use a disposable, clean, non-linting cloth moistened with the recommended disinfecting solution.
•
Connect the device with power supply and switch on the unit only after the disinfectant has evaporated
completely:
