For HIGH LEvEL DISINFECtIoN
Sharing an AvaLung requires that it be thoroughly disinfected between
users. Effective high-level disinfection entails proper pre-cleaning, use
of an appropriate disinfectant, use of test strips, multiple fresh water
rinses, proper training, proper handling of the agents, proper ventilation,
proper disposal of used chemicals and a record-keeping system. Black
Diamond recommends the use of Cidex OPA. Contact Black Diamond
or visit the Advanced Sterilization Products website (www.cidex.com) for
more information. If you are unsure of the effectiveness of your cleaning
procedure, do not share your AvaLung.
Important: Always position the AvaLung in the shoulder strap so that the
mouthpiece faces towards your mouth when wearing the pack.
Pack Care:
Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Rinse well. Do not bleach.
Hang dry.
