ACTIONS
1. Cleaning
• Clean the outside of the turbine supply hose with a lint-
free cloth dampened with a disinfecting solution.
2. Disinfection
• Disinfect the outside of the turbine supply hose with a
disinfectant (disinfectant spray or pad).
3. Rinsing and drying
• Rinse the outside of the turbine supply hose with a
disposable lint-free cloth soaked in sterile water.
• Dry the turbine supply hose with a disposable lint-free
cloth.
4. Sterilization
• Sterilize the turbine supply hose in the autoclave
(134°C – 273°F) for 18 minutes.
Sterilization in USA only: sterilize with an autoclave
(steam sterilizer with a vacuum phase) at a minimum of
132°C for at least 4 minutes.
• Remove it from the sterilizer immediately after the
sterilization procedure.
• Dry the turbine supply hose meticulously after
sterilization with a disposable lint-free cloth.
5. Storage
• Store the turbine supply hose in a dry, dust-free
environment.
