INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPROCESSING THE HVE HOSE ADAPTER
Method
• Turn suction off by switching the lever from on to off on existing HVE
valve.
• Remove the HVE Mirror Tip from the HVE Hose Adapter.
• To remove visible soil, thoroughly wipe the entire outer surface of
the HVE Hose Adapter, including the entire length of the hose and
the holster, with a new, single-use wipe in combination with an
alcohol-based, tuberculocidal, cleaning and disinfecting solution. Use
additional wipes as needed to ensure all visible soil is removed.
• Pay special attention to all seams and crevices while wiping.
• If soil is observed in the seam area of the HVE Hose Adapter,
disassemble the unit by unscrewing the top plastic component
(Figure 8), carefully removing the metal ring (Figure 9) and wiping
the components separately (Figures 10 and 11). Once visually clean,
place the metal ring back into the top plastic component and screw
the plastic pieces back together.
