Cleaning - Abbott PATROL ENTERAL PUMP Manuel

CLEANING

There are no routine calibration or adjustment procedures required with the
®
Patrol Enteral Pump.
For trouble-free operation, check the pump daily and clean immediately after spills
occur.
While cleaning, pump should be turned off and unplugged. Do not
submerge, autoclave, heat, steam, ETO or radiation sterilize the pump.
THE PUMP CAN BE CLEANED AS FOLLOWS:
HOUSING
• Clean outside surface only (DO NOT SPRAY WATER OR CLEANING SOLUTION
INTO PUMP).
• For general cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid damaging the surface. Be
especially careful with the operator's panel. If necessary, mild warm, soapy water
may be used sparingly. Avoid the use of all strong solvents or cleaners, as these
will damage the pump.
• Disinfection is recommended for all external parts and surfaces. Clean the pump
before disinfecting it. Wipe on the disinfectant for at least one minute; then allow
pump to air dry.
• Intermediate level disinfection is achieved by using one of the following: 10%
concentration of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) or 70%
isopropyl alcohol (NOTE: DO NOT CLEAN DROP DETECTOR WITH ALCOHOL).
NOTE: These recommendations are not substitutes for official procedures that may
differ among institutions.
DROP DETECTOR
• Clean the drop sensor window with a soft brush, soft, lint-free cloth or cotton swab
and warm, soapy water. Then rinse the drop sensor window with a cotton swab
and warm water. Be sure no soapy film or residue is left on lenses. Dry thoroughly.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH ALCOHOL.
ROTOR ASSEMBLY
• Clean the rotor assembly with warm, soapy water using a soft brush; soft, lint-free
cloth; or cotton swab. Inspect rotor assembly to make sure that all rollers spin
freely after cleaning. If they do not spin freely, repeat cleaning or return the pump
to an authorized service center.
After cleaning, plug the pump into an AC grounded electrical outlet to maintain
battery charge.
