Automatic cleaning and disinfecting:
The cleaning and subsequent disinfection of the individual components of the
tube sets can be carried out with the appropriate programmable cleaning and
disinfecting equipment for medical devices. The manufacturer has validated the
applicability of this method in terms of hygiene success and material compatibil-
ity using the "Vario" program of the disinfector manufactured by the company
Miele.
Suitability of the cleaning device used in the context of automated cleaning and
disinfection, the selected program, and the used cleaning or disinfecting agent,
as well as a guarantee with respect to the attainable hygiene status and material
compatibility are the sole responsibility of the operator!
Individual automatic processing methods must be independently validated by
the operator.
Manual Cleaning
1. P
lace the prepared individual components of the tube set in demineralized
water (room temperature, 20 °C to 30 °C) for a period of at least 3 minutes to
5 minutes and then rinse them off under running water. Remaining residues
should be removed with a cleaning brush at 3-4 bar or by using a soft brush.
2. Use a soft cloth to thoroughly dry the components.
3. The completely dry tube set components must now soak for a period of 25
minutes to 30 minutes in a suitable cleaning agent (e.g., neodisher Mediclean
2.0% or equivalents). Comply with the instructions and notes of the manufac-
turer of the used cleaning agent. Make sure the components are fully im-
mersed in the cleaning agent.
4. Flush the silicone tube for 15 seconds with demineralized water. Then use a
high-pressure cleaning gun to emit 10 pressure surges, each one with a
length of one second (1 second) into the silicone tube.
5. The individual parts must be dried after cleaning. For this purpose, they are
to be placed in an appropriate tray and allowed to drip dry or use an air gun
to dry the components. It is also possible to use, where appropriate, a sterile,
soft cloth. Or, the components can be dried in an air dryer (10 minutes at
100 °C).
7.3.2 Disinfecting Reusable Tube Sets
After cleaning, the individual tube set components must be disinfected. Only a
thoroughly cleaned tube set may be disinfected.
Automatic disinfection
The cleaning and subsequent disinfection of the individual components of the
tube sets can be carried out with the appropriate programmable cleaning and
disinfecting equipment for medical devices. Observe the instructions in chapter
7.3.1 "Cleaning Reusable Tube Sets" for the automatic cleaning and disinfecting
of the reusable vacuum tube set.
Manual Disinfection
1. The cleaned and completely dried tube set components are to be soaked in a
suitable disinfectant for a period of 25 minutes to 30 minutes or as specified
by the manufacturer (e.g., Lysetol 8% or equivalent), enzymatic disinfectant
(e.g., Neodisher® medizym), or weakly alkaline disinfectant (e.g., Neodisher®
mediclean). Make sure the components are fully immersed in the cleaning
agent and are not stacked on top of one another. Comply with the instruc-
tions and notes of the manufacturer of the used cleaning agent. The tube set
can be damaged if the concentration is too high or the components are
soaked too long.
2. After the soaking time, the individual tube set components should be re-
moved from the disinfectant liquid with pliers with soft jaws.
