Video series: How to clean your PPE manually

Cleaning contaminated PPE appropriately is crucial for the following reasons:

- The equipment can be contaminated from hazardous substances which may harm the health of the wearer in the future or they can contain germs and pathogens from the previous user. 

Following recommended manufacturer cleaning protocols can support the functionality of your Dräger equipment, whilst preserving the life of the equipment.

To support you, Dräger has teamed up with industry experts to test a variety of different cleaning methods and agents and their compatibility with over 1.200 Dräger products. This resulted in an extensive portfolio of high quality cleaning and disinfection products for reprocessing of your Dräger devices & PPE to keep you safe, and your products performing to their optimum.

In our manual cleaning video series, we show what it takes to clean and, where needed, disinfect PPE. You are introduced to how to lessen the risk of contamination on one side and how to preserve the material on the other.
