If the patient's history shows a dangerous infectious disease
(e.g. tuberculosis), all parts which had been in direct or indirect contact
with the patients must be disinfected.
Precleaning and Disinfection
A thorough pretreatment/cleaning is a precondition for an efcient disinfection of contaminated
parts. Protein residue on these parts might prevent an effective disinfection.
ERT recommends the following disinfectants:
Precleaning and Disinfection:
Product Manufacturer Concentration/Reaction time
mikrozid
®
sensitive
wipes
Schuelke & Mayr GmbH 1 minute
CaviWipes Metrex 1 minute
Procedure: Use the rst cleaning wipe to cover all surfaces with the detergent. Repeat the
procedure with a second wipe for disinfection. Let the surface dry.
Do not clean or disinfect the Main Unit or the SpiroSphere Sensor while
the devices are in operation.
Avoid Àuid (eg. detergent) getting in contact with the connector inside of the
guiding tube of the sensor unit.
Protein residue on parts which are to be disinfected prevents effective disinfection.
Therefore all protein residue must be removed prior to disinfection. In case of
persistent residues please use an appropriate tool (e.g. soft brush) to remove the
residues.
Please observe the instructions with regard to concentration and reaction time!
If a different substance is used, please follow the manufacturer's instructions.
The use of detergents and disinfectants which have not been recommended by the
manufacturer might damage the products.
Wiping
disinfection
The surface disinfection of the Main unit and other
contaminated surfaces, such as the SpiroSphere Sensor,
must be performed on a regular basis (e.g. Main Unit daily).
If there has been direct contact with the skin or if the
case history/diagnosis of the patient requires it, a surface
disinfection has to be performed directly after the application.
