4. Disinfection
THERMAL DISINFECTION
Method A (boiling water)
Disinfect the accessories E1, E2 (without rubber band), E3, E4, E5 by boiling
in water for 20 minutes (do not boil the tubing!) - preferably with distilled or
demineralized water to prevent limescale. Please add enough water to the
pot to prevent the nebulizer parts from melting by touching the bottom of the
pot. After boiling, shake out the accessories and place them on a paper towel
or kitchen towel, or dry with a warm jet of air (such as a hairdryer).
Method B (baby bottles vaporiser)
Disinfect the accessories E1, E2 (without rubber band), E3, E4, E5 with a steam
sterilizer for baby bottles (do not use microwave sterilizers). Perform the
process exactly as directed by the sterilizer manufacturer's manual. To ensure
that the disinfection is effective, choose a sterilizer with a cycle of at least
6 minutes.
CHEMICAL DISINFECTION
Disinfectable accessories are E1, E2 (without rubber band), E3, E4, E5.
The disinfection procedure described in this section should be performed
before using the accessory. Disinfection is only successful if every step is
followed carefully and the components have been cleaned beforehand.
Note:
a) Use a container of a suitable size to house all the components to be disin-
fected. Fill it with a 2% -5% sodium hypochlorite solution. Please strictly
follow the instructions of the disinfectant manufacturer, especially regar-
ding safety instructions, concentration, dosage and exposure time. Ready-
to-use solutions that you do not need to mix yourself can be bought on
the internet or in pharmacies.
b) Immerse each component completely in the solution. Make sure that
there are no air bubbles. These would prevent the disinfectant coming into
contact with the components. The disinfection would not be completely
possible.
