Cleaning
Handling and Storage
To clean and decontaminate the pump and bubble pad,
please follow these procedures:
Pump
• DO NOT immerse or soak the pump.
• Check for external damage and move the pump to a cleaning
area.
• Place the pump on a work surface and spray or wipe the outside
of the case with quaternary ammonium solution.
• DO NOT spray any cleaning solution directly on the surface of
the pump.
• DO NOT use a Hypocarbonate or Phenolic based cleaning
solution as this may cause damage to the case. Allow solution
to remain on product for 10 minutes or as stated by the cleaning
product used.
• Spray cloth with cleaning solution and clean faceplate. DO NOT
allow excess cleaning solution on faceplate or control panel.
Solution penetration inside the case will damage the pump.
Allow surface to thoroughly dry after cleaning.
• After the pump is thoroughly cleaned and dried, plug in the
pump and test to ensure normal operation.
Bubble Pad
• Any obvious blood spots should be wet thoroughly with 1:9
Hypochiorite solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) and allow
to dry for at least 10 minutes. Then blot with a clean, damp cloth.
• Allow it to thoroughly air dry. Once the inside is dry, turn it back:
wipe down the outside of the pad with disinfectant.
• Dry the bubble pad in a SUNLESS area after cleaning.
Handling and Storage
• Lay the bubble pad flat. Fold or roll it carefully.
• Unplug the pump and store with proper identification tag.
• Follow prescribed national requirements when time to dispose
of pump.
Maintenance
• Check the power cord and plug to see if there are abrasions
or excessive wear.
• Plug in the pump and check the airflow from the hose
connection port. The airflow should alternate between ports
every half-cycle time.
