4.1.5 Recording Maintenance
As the Equipment Provider, you can record all routine maintenance and repairs
performed on the NewLife Intensity 10 unit, including hours and dates of service.
A History Record label is located on the side panel inside the unit. Keep this record
current to avoid unnecessary replacement of parts (i.e., intake filter and battery).
Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect the power cord from the electric
outlet before you clean the unit to prevent accidental electrical shock and
burn hazard. Only your Equipment Provider or a qualified service
technician should remove the covers or service the unit.
Care should be taken to prevent the NewLife Intensity 10 from getting wet
or allowing water to enter the unit. This can cause the unit to malfunction
or shut down, and cause an increased risk for electrical shock or burns.
Do not use liquid directly on the unit. Clean the exterior of unit and power
cord only with a mild household cleaner applied with a damp cloth or
sponge, and then wipe all surfaces dry.
4.2 Preparing for New Patient Use/Method of Cleaning and
Infection Control
When you remove NewLife Intensity 10 from a patient’s home or a facility, always
dispose of the used nasal cannula and humidifier bottle. Clean the exterior of the NewLife
Intensity 10 unit with a soapy water solution or mild household cleaner applied with a
damp cloth or sponge to remove any gross debris. Do not use liquid directly on unit, and be
careful not to get liquid into the interior of the unit.
Next, following the same guidelines above, clean the exterior with either a common
chemical disinfectant or a bleach solution*, while wearing eye and skin protection. After
using the disinfecting solution, wipe entire unit with a cloth or sponge applied with water
only, then wipe dry. Make sure unit is completely dry and then retest it before you return
it to inventory.
Clean the air intake gross particle filter with warm soapy water between each patient’s use.
Clean this filter at least once per week, depending on the environment, during normal
operation.
_________________________________________________________________________
* The manufacturers of sodium hypochlorite products recommend various strengths of a bleach
solution for killing bacteria, etc., based on the type of germ to disinfect; however, a generally
recommended solution is ¾ cups (177mL) of household bleach per gallon (3.79 liters) of water.
