Disinfection, chemicals
Numerous brands of detergents and chemical disinfections are available. To avoid premature mate-
rial deterioration only use compatible detergent and chemical disinfectant brands. See list of materi-
als in table 1. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the detergent or chemical disinfectant as
to dilution and exposure time. Substances containing phenol should be avoided. After exposing the
parts to the chemical disinfectant, rinse thoroughly in clean water to remove all residues.
Autoclaving, 121°C / 134°C
Use standard autoclaving equipment adjusted for max 121°C, or 134°C, whichever is applicable for
the product.
Drying and cooling
Leave parts to dry and/or cool completely before reassembling the part.
Inspection of parts
After cleaning, disinfecting and/or sterilizing carefully inspect all parts for damage or excessive wear
and replace if necessary. In case of material deterioration, e.g. cracking, the parts should be replaced.
Note:
Some methods may cause discolouration of silicone parts without having an impact on their function.
The face masks have an expected lifetime of 1–3 years, depending on usage.
