6. Cleaning and disinfection

With the patented hygienic system of the Ambu SAM, incorporating exchangeable face
piece and head bag, no internal cleaning and disinfection is necessary.
6.1. Head bag
The head bag is disposable and should always be discarded after training.
6.2. Face piece (see picture ⑨)
The face piece may be reused after cleaning and disinfection. Remove the dental insert by
pulling it from the face piece, see picture 9.1 and 9.2.
6.2.1 Manual cleaning
A. Rinse face piece and dental insert in clean water.
B. Wash items in warm water, max. 65 °C (150 °F), using a mild detergent.
C. Rinse thoroughly in clean water to remove all traces of detergent and let the parts dry.
6.2.2 Machine washing
The face pieces and dental parts can be washed in an ordinary washing machine. Apply
normal dose of detergent and choose a washing programme with maximum temperature
of 70 °C (158 °F). In order to avoid the dental inserts rattling against the drum of the
washing machine, the face pieces can be placed in a bag made of loosely woven fabric.
Leave the parts to dry before packing.
6.2.3 Disinfection
After separating and cleaning the face piece and dental insert, disinfection can be
performed as follows:
A. Place the items in a sodium hypochlorite solution with minimum 500 ppm freely
accessible chlorine (1/4 a cup of liquid household bleach per gallon (approx. 4 litres) of
tap water for 10 minutes). This solution must be fresh and should be discarded after
use. This method is recommended by AHA
B. Place the items in a 70% alcohol chlorhexidine solution for 2 minutes (70% Ethylalcohol
and 0.5% chlorhexidine). This method of disinfection is recommended by the Australian
Resuscitation Council.
