REGULATORS
Disinfection .
WARNING! do not use bleach-based disinfectants or disinfectants known to be corrosive as they may prematurely age or corrode the equipment being used.
LOW RISK ENVIRONMENT
If there is a low risk of bacterial and/or viral transmission (mold infection and fungal growth or salivary bacteria/viral transmission), after each use, wash with warm tap water and general household detergent for several minutes to remove any visible dirt and coloring. A soft sponge can also be used, taking great care around the rubber valves so as not to dislodge or damage them. Make sure all traces of soap are rinsed away and rinsed with clean, cold drinking water.
Once rinsed, the regulator should be purged to remove excess water and then dried and stored in a clean, dry area to reduce the risk of bacterial growth. This would normally be clean enough for immediate reuse if necessary.
MEDIUM RISK ENVIRONMENT
If there is a medium risk of bacterial and/or viral transmission (mold infection and fungal growth or salivary bacteria/viral transmission) from shared daily use among participants after each training session, disinfection can be achieved using Chemgene HLD breathing 4 L disinfectant solution for the surface of the device.
The unit must first be washed, rinsed and purged as above. The regulator is then placed in a solution of 100 parts water to 1 part HLD 4 L (100:1) unscented laboratory antibacterial solution and gently shaken initially. Leave to soak for 20 minutes. Disinfectant should be rinsed from the regulator with running cold potable water and then purged while the nozzle is turned up and then down to ensure that any residual water is purged from inside the regulator. The unit is then ready for reuse – or it can be dried and stored.
HIGH RISK ENVIRONMENT
If there is a high risk of bacterial and/or viral transmission (mold infection and fungal growth or bacteria from saliva/viral transmission) from shared daily use among participants after each training session, disinfection can be achieved with the use of Chemgene HLD 4 L respiratory system surface disinfectant solution.
The regulator must first be washed, rinsed and purged as described above. The regulator is placed in a solution of 50 parts water to 1 part HLD 4 L (50:1) unscented laboratory antibacterial solution and gently shaken initially. Leave to soak for 20 minutes. Disinfectant should be rinsed from the regulator with running cold potable water and then purged with the nozzle turned up and down to ensure that any residual water is purged from within the demand valve.
Note that bacterial growth is supported by organic matter on surfaces. General cleaning is essential, especially in high-risk environments, which can be maintained by using soapy water at the beginning of each process. It should be noted that disinfection will vary depending on the cleanliness of the surfaces. Chemgene is effective against most bacteria on contact or after 1 minute. Chemgene is sufficiently effective against more resistant microorganisms after 5 minutes on a clean surface.
Drying and storage.
To dry the unit ready for storage, the regulator must be purged with the breathing gas turned on while the nozzle is facing up and then down. This is to ensure that all residual water has been drained from inside the regulator during the cleaning process.
It is also recommended that the unit be disinfected periodically to further reduce the risk of bacterial growth.
MASKS, BATTLES AND BCDs
We recommend SeptiOne Matériel to disinfect your fins, mask and vest.
Its properties are bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal and algaecidal (AFNOR standards). It is biodegradable.
SeptiOne Matériel is prepared by diluting 2% in fresh water. The equipment can then be disinfected by immersing it for 10 minutes in a volume of water to which an appropriate volume of product has previously been added. This soaking must be followed by careful washing.
