Maintenance<br />
Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions. Using detergent<br />
solution stronger than necessary can shorten the useful life <strong>of</strong> the<br />
products. Detergent residue can cause blemishes or fine cracks,<br />
especially on parts exposed to elevated temperatures during<br />
sterilization.<br />
A.1.2 Disinfection and sterilization<br />
Do not disinfect, sterilize, or reuse single-patient use or disposable<br />
products. When sterilizing tubing, coil tubing in a large loop, avoiding<br />
kinks, or crossing tubing. The tubing lumen should be free <strong>of</strong> any<br />
visible droplets prior to wrapping.<br />
Follow these steps (the order depends on what method <strong>of</strong><br />
disinfection/sterilization you use):<br />

Caution<br />
Formaldehyde and phenol-based disinfectants are not<br />
recommended because they can cause plastic parts to crack<br />
and craze. Exposing parts to disinfectant concentration<br />
stronger than required for excessive time may shorten product<br />
life. To prevent spotting and blemishing when exposed to<br />
elevated temperatures, thoroughly rinse and dry parts.<br />
