Will Cupramine effectively "clean" my icked equipment?

I have a 20 gallon QT set up and running with a powerhead, heater, and Fluval canister. The last two fish I put in there showed signs of ick (or velvet?) and died within a week. I now want to turn that set up into a hospital tank because I just saw signs of something in one of my display tanks. Do I have to tear apart the Fluval and sterilize it before I can use it with the cupramine or will the cupramine take care of the ick (or velvet) on the hardware? The reason I hesitate to totally clean the Fluval is because I want to utilize the good bacteria that's in there already.

Your thoughts?
