Device Cleaning and Disinfection When There is a
Patient Change
When medical devices have already been used with a
patient, contamination with human pathogenic germs
should be assumed (unless there is evidence to the
contrary), and the next patient, user or third party
should be protected by appropriate handling and
preparation. Therefore, when there is a patient change,
people must be protected during the transport and
handling of the device and the device must be fully
processed, i.e., cleaned and disinfected, by suitably
trained personnel before reuse to protect the next
patient. The complete processing may only be done by
the manufacturer or by a qualified DeVilbiss provider/
service technician.

NOTE – When the unit is used as per instructions
under normal conditions the interior of the unit is
protected from exposure to pathogens by the in-line
filter on the collection container, hence no disinfection
of internal components is necessary.
NOTE – If the unit is used without an in-line filter then
the interior of the unit has been exposed to pathogens
and the unit cannot be disinfected.
NOTE – If the following processing of the unit by a
qualified DeVilbiss provider/technician is not possible,
the unit must not be used by another patient!
DeVilbiss Healthcare recommends that at least the
following procedures be carried out by the
manufacturer or a qualified third party between uses by
different patients.
1. Dispose of all accessory components that are not
suitable for reuse, i.e., collection container, filter,
tubing and carrying case.
2. With the power switch in the "Off" position,
disconnect the DeVilbiss Suction Unit from all
external power sources.
3. Visually inspect unit for any damage, missing
parts, etc.
4. Wipe the housing with a clean cloth and a
commercial (bacterial-germicidal) disinfectant that
meets the requirements listed in the NOTE below
and is used as per the disinfectant manufacturer's
recommended dilution rates and instructions.
CAUTION – Do not submerge in water as this will
result in damage to the vacuum pump.
NOTE – Do not use any cleaners or disinfectants that
contain ammonia, benzene and/or acetone to clean the
unit.
