CLEANING IN A CLINICAL OR HOSPITAL SETTING - DISINFECTION AND STERILISATION
Before disinfection or sterilisation, sanitise the nebuliser cup and the accessories, choosing
one of the methods described below.
method A: Sanitise accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3-C4 under potable hot water
(approximately 40°C) with a gentle, non abrasive dish detergent.
method B: Sanitise accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3-C4 in the dishwasher with a
hot cycle.
DISINFECTION
Accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3-C4 can be disinfected.
The disinfectant must be an electrolytic chloroxidizer (active principle: sodium
hypochlorite) specific for disinfecting, which is available in any pharmacy.
Implementation:
- Fill a container big enough to hold all of the parts to disinfect with a solution of potable
water and disinfectant, according to the proportions indicated on the packaging of the
disinfectant.
- Completely immerse each part in the solution, taking care to avoid the formation of air
bubbles on the parts. Leave the parts immersed for the amount of time indicated on the
packaging of the disinfectant associated with the concentration chosen for the solution.
- Remove the disinfected parts and rinse abundantly with warm potable water.
- Dispose of the solution following the instructions provided by the disinfectant
manufacturer.

After having disinfected the accessories, shake them vigorously and place them on a
paper towel. Alternatively, dry them with a jet of hot air (for example, from a hair dryer).
