Y-piece in the tube system.

the following steps:
1: Use a Disinfectant solution*. Airways should remain
completely filled for at least 10 minutes.
2: Use fresh water to remove disinfectant solution.
After each step lift the head clear of the liquid

use a sodium hypochlorite solution freshly prepared for single class use.
This solution should have at least 500 ppm free available chlorine, i.e. 22 ml of 2.5 -
5.0 % household bleach per 500 ml of water. Local cleaning and handling procedures
