Wipe disinfecting
Ventilator and medical gas hose
● Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Remove heavy soiling with a disposable cloth first.
● Do not allow any liquid to enter the ventilator or
medical gas hose!
Bath disinfecting
Disassembled parts of the breathing valve, flow sensor,
ventilation hose and flow measuring hoses should be
● Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Agitate parts thoroughly in the solution.
Do not clean with a hard brush!
Do not allow any objects to enter the breathing valve
or flow sensor!
● Allow to dry completely.
The breathing valve and flow measuring hoses may
not function correctly if water remains in these parts.
Sterilizing
Sterilize if necessary.
The disassembled parts of the breathing valve, the flow
sensor, the angled connector, the flow measuring hoses
and the ventilation hose
● can be sterilized for at least 3 minutes in hot steam
at 134 °C, according to EN 285 (sterilisation, steam
sterilisation, major sterilisation).
Sterilisation for longer than 18 minutes is permissible,
but shortens the service life of the accessory.
Only reuse accessory if
– it is undamaged and
– the readiness for operation check has been
successfully completed.
Observe accessory service life
The parts of the ventilation valve, flow sensor, angled
connector, measuring hoses and ventilation hose are
resistant to the recommended disinfectants and are heat-
resistant during sterilisation.
However, wear occurs each time the parts are
disinfected and sterilized. After conditioning, the parts
should therefore be examined for cracking and
permanent deformation.
● Damaged or deformed parts must be replaced.
After care
● Reassemble, page 20.
● Connect to power supply, page 21
and gas supply, page 25.
● Check readiness for operation, page 28.

Care
Cleaning and disinfecting
Sterilizing
● Rinse parts thoroughly with distilled water.
Disinfectant residues can cause the rubber disc
to become jammed in the breathing valve.
