4.2 Cleaning and disinfection
4.2.1 Cleaning the manometer/air pump:
The manometer can be wiped with a damp cloth until visual cleanliness is
achieved.

cloth (moistened with alcohol if necessary) until visual cleanliness is achieved.
Use disinfectants (e.g. Bacillol AF by the company Bode Chemie GmbH / time
30s) only as per the manufacturer's specifications. Only disinfectants with
proven effectiveness according to national guidelines should be used. After
disinfection, please wipe the devices with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
Please make sure that the cloth is moistened, NOT wet, so that no moisture
penetrates into the openings of the device.
Make sure that the glass cover is only cleaned with a dry and clean cloth.
4.2.3 Cleaning cuff covers:
