1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this manual, primarily, is to establish guidelines for the safe operation of the RDS 3110
system. Secondarily, it establishes a method for proper hand-application using the optional APA.
1.2 Terms/Definitions
APA: AeroClave Portable Applicator
ADP-PT: AeroClave Distribution Port for Type I and Type III ambulances
ADP-EX: AeroClave Distribution Port for Type II ambulance
ADP-AS: Two-way connection hose for use with ADP-EX
Injection Phase: In this phase, the solution is aerosolized and applied evenly to the
treatment area. A typical injection phase can last anywhere from 5-30
minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Dwell Phase: Once an injection phase has completed, the treatment area is allowed to sit
for a minimum of 10 minutes in a dwell period. The dwell period gives the
aerosolized solution an opportunity to evenly distribute throughout the
treatment area, ensuring complete coverage on all surfaces.
Aeration Phase: The aeration phase is when the final stage when the treatment area is
returned to its normal habitable state. Do not re-enter the area until the air is
clear (minimum 20 minutes).

4.4 Hand Applicator Mode Operation
4.4.1 The AeroClave Portable Applicator (APA)
in Hand Applicator Mode (Figure 14, right)
may be used effectively on exteriors,
individual equipment, and interiors. Interiors
can be decontaminated with HVAC and other
ventilation systems left on. If ventilation systems
are to be left on, controls must be put in place to
prevent unintentional personnel exposure as
described in section 4.1.2.
4.4.2 It is recommended, for comfort, that operator don a minimum level of PPE consisting of, at
least, an N95 mask prior to APA operation.
4.4.3 Plug the APA into the quick connect SmartPort located on the RDS 3110 unit. To do this, align
the white dot on the APA connector with the white dot on the RDS 3110 SmartPort, insert the
APA connector, and turn the connector clockwise until it locks into position.
4.4.4 Hand Applicator Mode does NOT require the red arming switch to be flipped up in the ON
position to engage the system (Figure 14, left). Flip the switch down into the OFF position to
engage the unit in normal operation for Hand Applicator Mode (Figure 14, right).
4.4.5 Once the unit is engaged, to activate the APA, “pull and hold” the trigger on the APA handle.

4.4.7 Always keep the nozzle of the APA pointed away from you or anyone else, even when the
unit is not activated.
4.4.8 Application of the solution is left to the discretion of the operator. It should be
adjusted appropriately for the situation at hand. A distance of approximately 24”-36”
should be kept from the area being decontaminated to avoid excessive wetting.
4.4.9 Similar to spray painting, broad even strokes, applied directly to the surface should be
used.
4.4.10 The objective to spraying is to deposit a thin, even layer of material on the surface being
decontaminated. However, the APA affords the ability to concentrate the solution on known,
highly contaminated surfaces such as door handles, keyboards, toilet seats etc.
4.4.11 It is recommended that operators practice with distilled or deionized water to become
familiar with the operation of the device and the characteristics of the aerosol spray prior to
performing actual field decontamination activities.
4.4.12 If there is any excess fluid remaining on surfaces, you may wipe it up or allow it to dry
naturally.
4.4.13 After completion of the decontamination cycle, flip the red arming switch up to the ON
