Any remaining residues such as adherent clotted blood should be removed
with a soft brush.
• Use a soft cloth to thoroughly dry the components.
• The completely dried heating tube system components must now soak for
a period of 25 minutes to 30 minutes in a suitable cleaning agent (e.g neo-
disher Mediclean 2.0 % or equivalents). Comply with the instructions and
notes of the manufacturer of the used cleaning agent. Make sure the com-
ponents are fully immersed in the cleaning agent.
• Place the components once more in demineralized water (room tempera-
ture, 20 °C to 30 °C) for a period of at least 3 minutes to 5 minutes and then
rinse them off under running water.
• Flush the silicone tube for 15 seconds with demineralized water. Then use
a high-pressure cleaning gun to emit 10 pressure surges, each one with a
length of one second (1 second) into the silicone tube.
• After cleaning, allow the components to dry. For this purpose, they are to
be placed in an appropriate tray and allowed to drip dry or use an air gun
to dry the components. It is also possible to use, where appropriate, a ster-
ile, soft cloth. Alternatively, the components can be dried in an air dryer (10
minutes at 100 °C).

10.5.2 Disinfecting the Reusable Tube Set

After cleaning, the individual tube set components must be disinfected. Only dis-
infect a thoroughly cleaned tube set.
1. Automatic disinfection:
The cleaning and subsequent disinfection of the individual components of
the tube system can be carried out with the appropriate programmable
cleaning and disinfecting equipment for medical devices. The manufacturer
has validated the applicability of this method in terms of hygiene success and
material compatibility using the "Vario" program of the disinfector manufac-
tured by the company Miele.
Suitability of the cleaning device used in the context of automated cleaning
and disinfection, the selected program, and the used cleaning or disinfecting
agent, as well as a guarantee with respect to the attainable hygiene status
and material compatibility are the sole responsibility of the operator!
Individual automatic processing methods must be independently validated
by the operator.
2. Manual disinfection:
• The cleaned and completely dried heating tube system components must
now soak for a period of 25 to 30 minutes or as specified by the manufac-
turer in a suitable disinfecting agent (e.g, Lysetol 8 % or equivalent solu-
tion). Make sure the components are fully immersed in the cleaning agent
and are not stacked on top of one another. Comply with the instructions
and notes of the manufacturer of the used cleaning agent. The tube set can
be damaged if the concentration is too high or the components are soaked
too long.
• After the soaking time, the individual heating tube system components
should be removed from the disinfectant liquid with pliers with smooth
jaws.
• Place the components once more in demineralized water (room tempera-
ture, 20 °C to 30 °C ) for a period of at least 3 minutes to 5 minutes and then
rinse them off under running water.
• Flush the silicone tube for 15 seconds with demineralized water. Then use
a high-pressure cleaning gun to emit 10 pressure surges, each one with a
length of one second (1 second ) into the silicone tube.
• After cleaning, allow the components to dry. For this purpose, they are to
be placed in an appropriate tray and allowed to drip dry or use an air gun
to dry the components. It is also possible to use, where appropriate, a ster-
ile, soft cloth. Alternatively, the components can be dried in an air dryer (10
minutes at 100 °C).
