• Isopropylalcohol 70% for 10 minutes
• Hydrogenperoxide 3% for 60 minutes
CAUTION: Do not use the device until it is completely dry (Fig. 6g). Inhalation
of disinfectant fumes can cause severe coughing and irritation of the airways.
If the Provox LaryTube looks dirty or has air dried in an area with a risk of
contamination the device should be both cleaned and disinfected before use.
A risk of contamination could exist if the device has been dropped on the floor
or if it has been in contact with a pet, someone with a respiratory infection, or
any other gross contamination.
During hospitalization it is important to both clean and disinfect the Provox
LaryTube after use but also before use since there is an increased risk of infection
and contamination. In a hospital it is better to use sterile water for cleaning and
rinsing, rather than drinking water.
CAUTION: Do not clean or disinfect by any other method than described
above as this might cause product damage and patient injury.
