(mix or use manufacturer-prepared chlorine based solutions or wipes) Never use undiluted bleach on these instruments. Mix per directions for use Iodophors manufacturer’s as a hard surface disinfectant. Mix or use manufacturer prepared wipes Phenols per directions for use as a manufacturer’s hard surface disinfectant Quaternary Ammonium Mix or use manufacturer-prepared wipes per directions for use as a Compounds manufacturer’s hard surface disinfectant. Suction regulators should be sent for processing as soon as possible if gross contamination is evident. Soiled and potentially contaminated suction regulators should be removed from service and transported separate from non-contaminated devices, in a container that minimizes the potential to spread contamination. Suction regulators should be transported in an upright orientation. If there is evidence of gross contamination the following procedures must be followed: Disassemble the unit (refer to the user manual for detailed instruction on disassembling the suction device’s regulator). The instructions are available on our website . = After the suction regulator is fully disassembled, all regulator components should soak for a minimum of 10 minutes in a solution of warm water and pH neutral detergent such as MetriZyme®. Refer to the detergent instructions for concentration recommendation. manufacturer’s After soaking, thoroughly rinse components with warm tap water. Regulator components should be placed in a fresh solution of warm tap water and pH neutral detergent such as MetriZyme® and scrubbed with a soft bristle brush to remove deposits. Refer to the detergent instructions for concentration recommendation. manufacturer’s The components should then be removed from the solution and rinsed with warm tap water. Components should be placed in an ultrasonic cleaner and completely submerged for a minimum of 10 minutes. Rinse components thoroughly with warm tap water. Inspect regulator components for visible soil. Repeat cleaning process again if visible soil is observed.
