7. BREATHING APPARATUS CLEANING,
DISINFECTION AND DRYING
All parts of the breathing apparatus that come into contact with the breathing gas must be
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected by DEZEGA disinfector after use. Other parts that are not
exposed to a breathing gas must be cleaned as needed.
Disinfect the breathing apparatus after use according to the doctor’s instructions when an infectious
disease is detected in the user, and before delivery of the breathing apparatus for long-term storage
(for more than a month).
For cleaning parts contaminated with hazardous substances, use protective clothing, shoes, gloves,
and safety goggles.
CAUTION!
Only DEZEGA disinfector and detergent should be used for the disinfection and cleaning to avoid
damaging of the breathing apparatus components. Organic or industrial solvents, as well as cleaning
agents that contain bleaches, can damage parts of the breathing apparatus.
Cleaning
Wash all parts of the breathing apparatus in warm water at +30
–
+40 °C with the addition
of DEZEGA liquid detergent.
Do not use organic solvents such as acetone, trichlorethylene, or similar industrial solvents. Never
use bleach-containing detergents.
Rinse parts of the breathing apparatus in warm clean water. Completely rinse all detergent residues
from all parts of the breathing apparatus.
Disinfection
To disinfect, place the breathing system units into DEZEGA disinfectant. Determine
the concentration of the solution according to the disinfector’s instructions.
CAUTION!
Prolonged treatment and high disinfectant concentrations can damage parts of the breathing apparatus.
The use of organic solvents (gasoline, kerosene, acetone) and chlorine-based bleachers for disinfection
is prohibited.
After disinfection, rinse the breathing system units with clean running water.
The flushing of constant supply and demand valve lines as well as the cavities of the demand valve
itself, by filling them with ethyl alcohol for 5 minutes. Then drain off the alcohol and dry the air tubes.
Immerse the LP sensor housing in a container with alcohol. Leave it in alcohol for 5 minutes, then
remove it and let it dry before installing in the breathing apparatus.
NOTE!
The sensor of electrical connector should not be cleaned.
Drying
Dry the breathing apparatus breathing system units using warm air at a maximum temperature
of +40 °C. Use a drying cabinet or an air dryer to dry the breathing apparatus parts.
Thoroughly dry all the units (especially breathing and relief valves) with warm air, since the residual
moisture affects the operation of these units.
