III. CLEANING - MAINTENANCE
III. 1. Cleaning
Only the outside of the NewLife
Intensity is to be cleaned, with a dry cloth or, if necessary,
®
a damp sponge and clean or soapy water, then thoroughly dried with wipes and an alcohol-based
solution. Acetone, solvents or any other flammable products must not be used. Do not use
abrasive powders.
The removable dust filter (9) must be cleaned in soapy water after
approximately 100 hours of use, or when required. Rinse and
wipe dry. Fit a dry filter.
III. 2. Everyday disinfection
Due to the presence of the product filter inside the device,
everyday disinfection only concerns the external oxygen therapy
accessories: humidifier, probes, nasal cannulas (refer to the respective instructions for use).
The use of alcohol-based solutions means that the device must be
switched off.
a - The following minimum guidelines must be respected:
• Humidifier :
Daily:
- empty the water from the humidifier.
- rinse the humidifier flask under running water.
- Fill the humidifier up to the mark with slightly mineralised water.
Regularly:
- Disinfect the equipment by immersing them in a disinfectant solution (in general, we recommend
using water containing a small amount of chlorine bleach).
- Rinse and dry.
- Check that the humidifier lid seal is in good condition.
• Oxygen administration devices:
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
b - For each new patient:
The humidifier must be sterilised if possible or changed. The NewLife
Intensity must be
®
cleaned and disinfected as per the above instructions. The dust filter should preferably be changed.
The entire oxygen administration circuit (oxygen therapy nasal cannulas, etc.) must be changed.
