WARNING!

• This product is supporting life and health. Inappropriate use, maintenance or servicing may affect the function

of the device and thereby seriously compromise the user's life.

• During the cleaning and disinfection process with water and solutions with recommended detergents, the

pressure reducer and the demand valve must be pressurized.

• The MSA recommendations and guidelines must be strictly adhered to.

Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.

When changing chemistry, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer of the respective successor

product in order to exclude possible adverse reactions with the previously used agent. This applies to both

the items to be washed and the washing machine itself.

1.1 Usage Cycle

Special attention must be paid to the assessment of decontamination and cleaning to decide if the equipment is safe

to use again.

The usage cycle shows the respective steps from operation to readiness for use.

The actions described in this manual refer to the following steps from the cycle:

1. Gross Decontamination at Fire Scene

2. Gross Cleaning at Fire Station

3. Final Cleaning

4. Disinfection

5. Flushing and Drying

1 General

2 Manual Decontamination / (Pre-)Cleaning

2.1 General

Manual decontamination can be carried out at the site of the incident, at the fire station or in the fire station workshop.

Final cleaning is likely to be required after manual decontamination, according to the cycle of use (see chapter 1.1 ).

Faultless mechanical cleaning is an absolute precondition for disinfection; only totally clean breathing apparatus

components can be effectively disinfected.

WARNING!

• During cleaning appropriate personal protective equipment must be worn, e.g. eye, face, hand, body and

respiratory protection.

• Ingress of water can cause icing inside the device if not carefully dried.

Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.

NOTICE

Do not use organic solvents, such as acetone, thinners, nitrous dilution, alcohol, spirits, gasoline, trichloroethylene,

petrol, etc, for cleaning, otherwise the device can be damaged.

2.1.1 Decontamination with Wipes

Wipes can be used for rapid (pre-)decontamination at the site of the incident or at the fire station.

MSA recommendation:

• AVET Dry Cleaning Wipe Clara Clean Go SX 100

• Diversey Oxivir Excel Wipe

Use the wipes as recommended by the supplier. A cleaning time of >30 seconds is recommended.

2.1.2 Decontamination with Detergents

For manual decontamination, use lukewarm water (≤ 30 °C) and a mild, pH-neutral detergent. A soft brush can also

be used. Follow the corresponding washing instructions for the individual components, if applicable.

MSA recommendation:

• Diversey Suma Light D 1.2 (0.5% concentration)

• Diversey Oxivir Excel detergent (2% concentration)

• Dr. Weigert Neoform K Plus (1% concentration)

The exposure time for effective decontamination depends on the detergent used, its concentration and the

temperature of the ready-to-use solution. For more information, please refer to the data sheet of the

respective detergent manufacturer It is recommended not to exceed a maximum exposure time of 1 hour to

avoid an adverse effect of the detergent on the materials.

After manual cleaning rinse equipment thoroughly with plenty of clear, running, lukewarm water (≤ 30 °C) of drinking

quality.

2.2 Facepieces

MSA facepieces can be manually pre-cleaned with decontamination wipes and detergents according to chapters

2.1.1 and 2.1.2 . It is possible to use brushes, damp cloth or similar.

GB 5

2 Manual Decontamination / (Pre-)Cleaning

If applicable, follow the specific instructions and appropriate cleaning procedures in the respective facepiece

operating manuals.

Preparing the Facepiece for Cleaning or Disinfection

1. Remove inhalation and exhalation valve discs.

2. Unbutton the nosecup.

3. Remove components that need to be separately cleaned and disinfected according to the relevant instructions

for use.

Subsequent to the cleaning or disinfection process:

4. Dry facepiece and components (see chapter 5) and reassemble facepiece in reverse order.

5. Perform tests according to the manufacturer's requirements described in the relevant operating or

maintenance manuals.

WARNING!

After each successful decontamination, cleaning and disinfection the product/component must be tested/checked

according to the manufacturer's requirements described in the relevant operating or maintenance manuals before

2.3 Breathing Apparatus

SCBA components (backplate, harness, pneumatic) can be manually pre-cleaned with decontamination wipes and

detergents according to chapters 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 . It is possible to use brushes, damp cloth or similar.

When using detergent solutions or a water hose to remove rough dirt from the breathing apparatus make sure that

the system is pressurized and openings are closed to prevent water ingress, by following these steps.

1. Before connecting the unit to the medium pressure, switch off the lung governed demand valve by pressing the

red control button to prevent unintentional air supply (refer to the operating manual of the lung governed

demand valve).

2. Fully open cylinder valve of the mounted compressed air cylinder fully.

3. Close the warning signal with a protective cap (10190947-SP)

4. Close the AE / ESA lung governed demand valve with the washing adapter AE / ESA (10200072), the AS lung

governed demand valve with the washing adapter AS(10200071).

5. Switch the lung governed demand valve ("ON") to produce a continuous air flow of approx. 5 l/min.

Subsequent to the cleaning or disinfection process:

6. Dry the device completely (see chapter 5).

WARNING!

After each successful decontamination, cleaning and disinfection the product/component must be tested/checked

according to the manufacturer's requirements described in the relevant operating or maintenance manuals before

the product/component is put back into service.
