75. √ Endotracheal tubes - Recycled after cleaning and autoclaving √ Ambu Bags. - Ideally heat disinfect - Or immerse in 2% glutaraldhyde and then wash with sterile distilled water to reduce to risk of chemical irritation which can precipitate respiratory infection. √ Oxygen delivery face mask - Wash and then dry. - Wipe with 70% isopropyl alcohol to remove mucus. √ Suction drainage bottles - Ideally autoclave √ Ventilatory circuits respiratory equipment in neonatal/pediatric unit - Heat disinfection at 80’C for 3 minutes. - Or autoclave - Or Ethylene oxide sterilization.

76.  Do not use these instruments for more than 72 hours without sterilization √ Incubators - Clean thoroughly with warm water and soap - Wipe with 70% Isopropyl alcohol √ Humidifiers - Empty daily - Refill with sterile water - Disinfect when contaminated, with 1% hypochlorite for 30 minutes, wash and dry - Autoclave after each patient’s use - Autoclave when respiratory circuit is changed √ Urinary catheter - Ideally single use – disposable.
