CLEANING AT HOME - SANITISATION AND DISINFECTION
SANITISATION
Before and after each use, sanitise the nebuliser cup and the accessories, choosing one of
the methods described below.
method A: Sanitise accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3-C4 under potable hot water
(approximately 40°C) with a gentle, non abrasive dish detergent.
method B: Sanitise accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3-C4 in the dishwasher with
a hot cycle.
method C: Sanitise accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3-C4 by immersing them in a
solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar, then rinse thoroughly under potable hot
water (approximately 40°C).
If you want to also perform the cleaning for DISINFECTION, jump to the DISINFECTION
paragraph.
After having sanitised the accessories, shake them vigorously and place them on a paper
towel. Alternatively, dry them with a jet of hot air (for example, a hair dryer).
DISINFECTION
After sanitising the nebuliser cup and the accessories, disinfect them choosing one of the
methods described below.
method A: Accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3-C4 can be disinfected.
The disinfectant must be an electrolytic chloroxidizer (active principle: sodium
hypochlorite) specific for disinfecting, which is available in any pharmacy.
Implementation:
- Fill a container big enough to hold all of the parts to disinfect with a solution of potable
water and disinfectant, according to the proportions indicated on the packaging of the
disinfectant.
- Completely immerse each part in the solution, taking care to avoid the formation of
air bubbles on the parts. Leave the parts immersed for the amount of time indicated
on the packaging of the disinfectant associated with the concentration chosen for the
solution.
- Remove the disinfected parts and rinse abundantly with warm potable water.
- Dispose of the solution following the instructions provided by the disinfectant
manufacturer.
method B: Sanitise the accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3-C4 by boiling them in
water for 10 minutes; use demineralised or distilled water to prevent calcium deposits.
method C: Sanitise the accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3-C4 with a hot steam
steriliser for baby-bottle (not the microwave type). Perform the process faithfully following
the instructions of the steriliser. To ensure that the disinfection is effective, choose a
steriliser with an operating cycle of at least 6 minutes.
After having disinfected the accessories, shake them vigorously and place them on a
paper towel. Alternatively, dry them with a jet of hot air (for example, from a hair dryer).
