Cleaning Instructions
You will no doubt want to clean your oxygen door and cages
whenever they become dirty or saturated with waste fluids.
Maintaining high standards of sanitation will be an important priority
for your facility
.
Ordinary deposits of waste and fluids can usually be removed with
soap and water. Stubborn deposits may require scrubbing with
“stainless steel” wool, nylon or plastic scrubbers and/or the use of
commercial cleaning products. Always scrub in the direction of the
“grain” of the metal. Rinse with clear water and dry thoroughly with
a clean, soft cloth.
Minor scale build-up and some hard water spotting may be
removed by washing with vinegar, followed by a neutralizing rinse of
clear water and a thorough drying with clean, soft cloths.
For heavy deposits of scale, 5% oxalic acid (use warm), 5-15%
sulfamic acid, or 5-10% phosphoric acid may be used. As always,
rinse with clear water and dry thoroughly with clean soft cloths.
Avoid prolonged use of chlorides (such as chlorine bleach),
bromides, iodides and thiocyanates. Never allow salty solutions to
dry on the stainless steel. Note: NEVER power-wash the oxygen
therapy door.
Rinse the polycarbonate window with clear water and dry
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
The ice tray should be removed and washed periodically - at least
weekly. With heavy use, more frequent washing may be necessary.
Wash the tray in hot, soapy water, rinse with hot clear water, then
dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Open the valve and make
sure it is completely cleaned and flushed. Open and close the valve
several times to make sure it operates freely.
The nebulizer and bottle should be removed and washed
periodically - at least weekly. With heavy use, more frequent
washing may be necessary. Wash both items in hot, soapy water,
rinse with hot clear water, then dry thoroughly with a clean, soft
cloth. Rotate the regulator collar back and forth to make sure it
operates freely.
