Section Four: Care, Maintenance, and Storage
After patient use, the IVEA should be maintained in accordance with your facility's
protocols. When the IVEA is not in use, it folds and stores easily.
NOTE: Always open the IVEA as instructed.
1. IVEA Care and Maintenance
Before maintaining the IVEA, remove all infusion pumps and other equipment from
the unit. If a power strip is mounted to the IVEA, disconnect it from any external power
source to prevent possible electrical shock. Remove hair and other debris from caster
wheels to ensure proper function. Notify Environmental Services if additional care and
maintenance is required.
DO NOT steam sterilize or EtO (Ethylene Oxide) sterilize the IVEA.
DO NOT immerse the IVEA or any of its components in care and maintenance agents.
Use OSHA and/or EPA-compliant and facility-approved care and maintenance agents to
wipe down all exposed surfaces of the IVEA after patient use. Use a disposable wipe or
dampen a cloth with care and maintenance agent to wipe the equipment.
To avoid damage to the IVEA, make sure that the wipe or cloth is not over saturated. Do
not spray the care and maintenance agent directly on the equipment.
Follow hospital established care and maintenance protocols for durable medical
equipment.
Recommended compatible hospital care and maintenance agents include:
• Neutral pH Quaternary solutions
• Isopropyl Alcohol
• Chlorinated bleach solutions (1:100 concentration)
• Phenolic solutions
NOTE: Virex® brand and hydrogen peroxide based agents have not been tested on the
IVEA and may cause harm to the product.
NOTE: Additional precautions and care and maintenance protocols may be required after
use by patients classified as "isolation. " Refer to your facility's policies for proper care and
maintenance protocols.
