Precautions During Care
CAUTION !
Certain components of the ventilator consist of
materials that are sensitive to certain organic
solvents sometimes used for cleaning and
disinfecting (e.g., phenols, halogen releasing
compounds, oxygen releasing compounds,
strong organic acids, etc.). Exposure to such
substances may cause damage that is not always
immediately apparent. Sterilization of the
ventilator itself with ethylene oxide (EtO) is also
not recommended.
CAUTION !
Do not allow any foreign objects to enter the
patient valve.
Do not damage the silicone diaphragm or other
parts.
CAUTION !
Do not allow any foreign objects to enter the flow
sensor.
Do not use pressurized air for cleaning.
The orifice membrane inside the flow sensor may
become damaged.
CAUTION !
When removing patient circuits, always handle at
end fittings! Otherwise, support helix may be torn
at end fitting or hose and fitting could come
apart.
WARNING !
Water remaining in the patient valve or in the
pressure sensing lines for flow measurement
may cause ventilator malfunction.
WARNING !
Always follow accepted hospital / Electro-
Magnetic Compatibility procedures for han-
dling equipment contaminated with body
fluids.
