A. Per the manufacturer’s instructions, “cold disinfecting” may be performed on the disassembled outlet adapter and exhalation valve assembly by immersing in a CIDEX solution for a minimum of 10 minutes. Alternately, gas sterilization may be used (e.g. ethylene oxide) provided the temperature of the sterilizer does not exceed 71°C (160°F) and, aeration is performed adequate to remove all traces of the sterilizing agent.
