4 REPROCESSING
CAUTION
Risk of infection due to cross-contamination in the case of a change in patients
If a product is used for more than one patient, there is a risk that germs may be transmit-
ted from one patient to the next.
• Clean, disinfect and sterilise all separated parts before every patient change.
• Replace the connection tubing or carry out mechanical cleaning and disinfection of the
connection tubing [see: Reprocessing the connection tubing, page 34].
CAUTION
Risk of infection due to growth of bacteria
Inadequate disinfection encourages the growth of bacteria and thus increases the risk of
infection.
• During disinfection, comply with the specified holding time and the concentration of the
chemical used.
• When using a disinfector, ensure that the device is clean and operating properly. Allow
the disinfection to continue until the disinfector switches off automatically or the min-
imum disinfection time stated in the instructions for use of the disinfector has elapsed.
Do not switch the device off prematurely.
CAUTION
Risk of infection by residual germs
If there is dirt on the parts, germs capable of reproduction may remain despite the steril-
isation process. As a result, there is a danger of infection.
• Clean, disinfect, and dry all parts thoroughly before sterilising.
• Use only validated procedures for cleaning and disinfection.
CAUTION
Risk of infection due to moisture
Moisture encourages the growth of bacteria.
• Ensure that the components are allowed to dry sufficiently after each processing step.
