iClean 2.0 % or equivalent). Comply with the instructions and notes of the
manufacturer of the used cleaning agent. Make sure the components are
fully immersed in the cleaning agent.
• Place the components once more in demineralized water (room tempera-
ture, 20 °C to 30 °C) for a period of at least 3 minutes to 5 minutes and then
rinse them off under running water.
• 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.
• After cleaning, allow the components to dry. 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 ster-
ile, soft cloth. Or, the components can be dried in an air dryer (10 minutes
at 100 °C).
9.6.2 Disinfecting the Reusable Tube Set (NOT FOR SALE IN USA)
Disinfection After cleaning, the individual tube set components must be disinfected. Only dis-
infect a thoroughly cleaned tube set.
1. Automatic disinfection:
The cleaning and subsequent disinfection of the individual components of
the tube set can be carried out with the appropriate programmable cleaning
and disinfecting systems for medical devices. The manufacturer has validat-
ed the applicability of this method in terms of hygiene success and material
compatibility 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.
2. Manual disinfection:
• The cleaned and completely dried tube set components must now soak for
a period of 25 minutes to 30 minutes or as specified by the manufacturer
in a suitable disinfectant (e.g, Lysetol 8 % or equivalent). Make sure the
components are fully immersed in the cleaning agent and are not stacked
on top of one another. Comply with the instructions and notes of the man-
ufacturer of the used disinfecting agent. The tube set can be damaged if
the concentration is too high or the components are soaked too long.
• After the soaking time, the individual tube set components should be re-
moved from the disinfectant liquid with pliers with smooth jaws.
• Place the components once more in demineralized water (room tempera-
ture, 20 °C to 30 °C) for a period of at least 3 minutes to 5 minutes and then
rinse them off under running water.
• 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.
• After cleaning, allow the components to dry. 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 ster-
ile, soft cloth. Or, the components can be dried in an air dryer (10 minutes
at 100 °C).
9.6.3 Sterilizing the Reusable Tube Set (NOT FOR SALE IN USA)
Preparing for sterilization Reassemble the tube set from the cleaned and disinfected parts as described in
the manual.
Inspection and function test Check the individual components and the assembled tube set for signs of dam-
age. Never sterilize a tube set that shows signs of damage, especially brittleness
and perforation. Tube sets with evidence of or suspected of damage must be
blocked from further use.
