How to clean Cuffill?

The Cuffill is limited to 100 uses and to clean it:

• Pull out the plunger from the syringe barrel
• While cleaning or disinfecting, prevent the entry of any fluid into the AG Cuffill sensor at the tip of the black gasket.

Cleaning the Pressure Manometer:

• While cleaning: Soak a clean pad with Alconox 1% (diluted with distilled water) or Septal Scrub 4% Chloroxidine solution
• While Disinfecting: Soak a clean pad with either: Alcohol IPA 70% or a Hydrogen Peroxide 1.4 %
• Wipe the device surfaces (barrel and plunger) and clean thoroughly until the product is clean from contamination. Repeat at least 4 times.
• Soak a clean pad with distilled water. Wipe and clean the device surfaces.
• Wipe the device surfaces with a dry pad and make sure to leave to dry for one hour (while cleaning) and 2 minutes (while disinfecting) on a clean surface in the room
• After completing the cleaning process and the disinfection process, insert the plunger back into the syringe barrel. The Cuffill is now ready to be used.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Cuffill device be used for measuring the cuff pressure of cuffs filled with liquid?

No, the Cuffill is intended for air-filled cuffs and should not be used for measuring liquid pressure

What are the recommended disposal instructions for the Cuffill device?

The Cuffill device contains a small lithium-ion battery. Therefore, the barrel (outer part) can be disposed of as a general waste/disposable device, but the plunger (inner part) is subject to disposal and recycling regulations that vary between countries and regions. The user should check and follow the local facility’s guidelines for disposing of Li batteries and E-waste.
