contaminated. This depends on the working conditions, the cleaning products used and the
frequency of cleaning.
3.4.3.3 Cleaning Procedures and Storage
Remove the Barrier from the HM1400 half mask before disinfection.
The following solutions can be used for disinfection:
•
Antibacterial soap and warm water (~ 40
°C
).
•
Isopropyl Alcohol, 70-99.99%.
•
Sodium Hypochlorite, 0.01-0.5%.
•
PVP-I (Iodine disinfection), 4%.
•
Hydrogen Peroxide, 6-25%.
The solutions can either be wiped onto the Barrier or the Barrier itself can be submerged into any of
the solutions. Ensure 100% of the Barrier comes into contact with the disinfectant. Cleaning should be
undertaken for at least five minutes.
After cleaning, rinse with plenty of water and let the Barrier dry before use. Store in a cool, dry and
sterile/uncontaminated place when not in use.
3.4.3.4 Disposal
To establish the safest disposal method, this will require a risk assessment by your organisation.
However, Corpro can advise the following:
•
As the product is made from polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) and polyethylene foam,
it may be recyclable. Check with your local authorities to establish the possibilities.
•
Depending on your working environment, you may not be able to recycle the product as it
may be classed as hazardous waste. This would need to be checked and, if classed as
hazardous waste, the appropriate disposal method should be outlined and followed by your
organisation’s Health and Safety personnel.
•
If the product is not classed as hazardous waste, it should be disposed of or recycled as
applicable in a controlled waste area at the occupational site / an agreed third-party site.
