Bath disinfection:
Use for disassembled parts of the patient valve, flow
sensor, ventilator circuit (where applicable), pressure
sensing hoses for flow measurement.
● Disinfect by immersion in disinfectant solution,
following manufacturer's instructions. Move parts
thoroughly.
● Remove parts after the recommended exposure time
and rinse thoroughly with distilled water.
● Shake water out and let parts dry completely before
reassembling.
Sterilization procedures
Where referenced in established hospital / EMC
procedures:
● Disassembled parts of the patient valve, flow sensor,
reusable ventilator circuit (where applicable), pressure
sensing hoses for flow measurement may be steam
autoclaved at 134ºC (273ºF).
After cleaning and disinfecting
● Re-assemble (page 14),
● connect power and gas supply (pages 15, 20),
● check readiness for operation (page 23).
WARNING !
Water remaining in the patient valve or in the
pressure sensing lines for flow measurement
may cause ventilator malfunction.
CAUTION !
Do not use hard brush for cleaning
Do not allow any foreign objects to enter the
patient valve.
Cleaning / Disinfecting / Sterilizing
To prevent any damage, we recommend that only deter-
gents and disinfectants are used that are compatible with
the materials used in the ventilator and its accessories,
e.g. surface disinfectants on the basis of aldehydes,
alcohol, or quarternary ammonia compounds for
disinfection of the main unit.
Ensure that all disinfectants are registered with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency for use as intended.
Always follow the instruction labels specifically with
respect to prescribed concentrations and the necessary
exposure times.
Wipe Disinfection:
Use for ventilator and high pressure hose.
● Disinfect by wiping all surfaces following disinfectant
manufacturer's instructions regarding concentrations
and application.
CAUTION !
Follow all accepted hospital procedures for disin-
fecting parts contaminated by body fluids (pro-
tective clothing, eyewear, etc.).
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.
