Disinfection by disinfectant

Different disinfectants have different anti-bacterial actions. For sterilization and disinfection, follow the instruction manual and the notes on each disinfectant.

The time to immerse the parts in the disinfectant differs with the type of the disinfectant used. However, 30 to 60 minutes or longer is common.

After immersing the parts, wash them sufficiently with water and dry promptly. Carefully store the parts so that they are not re-infected.

If a coloured disinfectant solution such as Hibitane is used, some parts may be discoloured with repeated use. However, it does not affect the nebulising properties.

[Typical disinfectants that can be used]

•Disinfecting ethanol

•Glutaraldehyde: Sterihyde (0.5%)

(and other equivalent products)

• Sodium hypochlorite: Milton (0.1%), Purax (0.1%)

(and other equivalent products)

•Benzalkonium chloride: Osvan (0.1%)

•Chlorhexidine: Hibitane (0.5%), Maskin (0.5%)

•Amphetamine surfactant: Tego (0.2%)

(and other equivalent products)

Note: These products cannot be used for the air filter.

Warning

Be sure to immediately dry the cleaned and disinfected parts, then store them in order to prevent them from getting contaminated in the future.

• Miscellaneous types of bacteria may propagate and you may get infected.

Do not wash the main unit with water, or splash water to the power source.

• Electric leakage may occur in the unit or you may suffer electric shock.
