Cleaning the IPC equipment

  • The sleeves are single use and should be replaced if soiled
  • The tubing can be used again but must be cleaned (see video)
  • If the patient has a recognised hospital acquired infection such as MRSA, C Diff or Norovirus we would advise discussing the cleaning of the equipment and re-use or disposal of the tubing with your local infection control team
  • The controller should be cleaned regularly and between patients (see video)
