Cleaning And Disinfection - Veridian Healthcare Beetle Manual De Instrucciones

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

The nebulizer and mouthpiece should be thoroughly cleaned after each use and disinfected
each day if on a regular therapy program unless a different cleaning regimen is specified by
your healthcare professional; additional hygienic precautions may be required for use with
high-risk patients.
Only the REUSABLE nebulizer is dishwasher safe, however the masks, mouthpieces, tubing
and disposable nebulizer are not. The below instructions are for manual cleaning and
disinfecting of your nebulizer and mask pieces. For frequent treatments in one day, you may
wish to manually wash your REUSABLE nebulizer throughout the day and wash by dishwasher
at the end of the treatment day.
Cleaning:
1. Ensure that the power cord is disconnected
from the power outlet.
2. Disconnect the air tube, nebulizer and
mouthpiece. Do not wash or submerge the
air tubing.
3. Disassemble the nebulizer by twisting the
top and bottom and separating the pieces,
Fig 1-2.
4. The reusable nebulizer may be washed in a dishwasher; the dispoable nebulizer and
mouthpiece or mask should be washed in warm water, using a mild detergent. Do not
wash or submerge the air tubing; if necessary, wipe the outside of the tubing with a damp
cloth taking care not to get water inside the tubing.
5. Allow the nebulizer and mouthpiece to air dry completely, or dry them thoroughly with a
clean, soft towel. Do not store any parts wet as remaining moisture creates a risk of
bacterial growth.
6. Occasionally wipe the body of the unit with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Only clean
the body of the unit when it is unplugged and completely cool.
Never use soap pads or powder cleanser to clean any part of the unit. Never use any cleaning
products that may be harmful when swallowed or inhaled.
