Overview of the reprocessing procedures of the
components
Surface disinfection with cleaning
Categories:
– Flow tube
Prerequisites:
– The surface disinfectant has been prepared in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
– The manufacturer's instructions, e.g., regarding
shelf life or application conditions, are observed.
– An uncontaminated, lint-free cloth soaked in sur-
face disinfectant is used for the cleaning surface
disinfection.
Cleaning
1 Wipe off obvious soiling with a disposable cloth
soaked in surface disinfectant. Dispose of the
cloth.
2 Wipe all surfaces. After that, there must no lon-
ger be any soiling visible.
Surface disinfection
3 Wipe cleaned surfaces again to visibly wet all
surfaces to be disinfected with surface disinfec-
tant.
4 Wait for the surface disinfectant contact time.
5 At the end of the contact time, moisten a new,
uncontaminated, lint-free cloth with water (at
least drinking water quality).
6 Wipe all surfaces until no remains of the surface
disinfectant, such as foam residues or streaks,
are visible.
7 Wait until the surfaces are dry.
8 Check the surfaces for visible damage and, if
necessary, replace the product.
Supplementary information
Manual precleaning (AGS header only)
1 Prepare the cleaning solution in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
2 Immerse the product in the solution, making
sure to displace trapped air.
3 At the beginning and towards the end of the con-
tact time, swirl the product backwards and for-
wards several times in the solution. Make sure
that the solution reaches all surfaces and interior
spaces.
4 After the contact time has elapsed, rinse the
product under running water until residual clean-
ing agent is no longer discernible.
5 Check the product for visible damage and re-
place if necessary.
6 Thoroughly shake out residual water.
Refer to the sections "Preparation" and "Opera-
tion", see page 9.
Machine cleaning with thermal
disinfection
Use a washer-disinfector that meets the require-
ments of the standard ISO 15883. Dräger recom-
mends the use of a load carrier for anesthesia ac-
cessories and ventilation accessories. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for the washer-disinfec-
tor.
Components:
– AGS header
– Container for buffer volume
– Transfer hoses and scavenging hoses
– Plugs and adapters
Prerequisites:
The washer-disinfector has been prepared in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Positioning the components in the load carrier
Procedure:
1 Position the components to be stable.
2 Ensure the following:
– All surfaces and interiors can be completely
rinsed.
– The water can drain off freely.
Performing reprocessing
1 Select a cycle.
2 When the cycle has ended, check the compo-
nents for visible soiling and repeat the cycle if
necessary.
3 Check the components for visible damage and
replace if necessary.
Storage and transport
After reprocessing, there are no special require-
ments for storage and transport of the product. How-
ever, the following must be observed:
– Store dry and free of dust
– Avoid recontamination and damage during
transport
All further information on storage and transport in-
cluded in the accompanying documents must be ob-
served.
Other agents
Disinfectants
Use nationally approved disinfectants suitable for
the respective reprocessing process and the intend-
ed application.
Surface disinfectants
The manufacturers of the surface disinfectants have
verified at least the following spectra of activity:
– Bactericidal
– Yeasticidal
– Virucidal or virucidal against enveloped viruses
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for surface
disinfectants.
The following surface disinfectants were compatible
with the material at the time of testing:
Dräger states that oxygen-releasing agents and
chlorine-releasing agents may cause color change
in some materials. Color change does not indicate
that the product is not functioning correctly.
