The expiratory cassette must be dried before
use (if not dry, the expiratory cassette may not
pass the Pre-use check).
There are several drying alternatives for the
expiratory cassette:
• Drying cabinet 1 hour in maximum 70°C
(158°F); if available, connect a 22 mm air
hose to the expiratory cassette for extra
drying effect, or
• Drying the cassette in room air 12-24 hours,
depending on surrounding conditions.
Recommended position in a drying cabinet
Recommended position in room air
If the Pre-use check is not passed after drying
then:
• Run the cassette in a ventilator system with
a test lung for 10 minutes, or
• Dry the cassette in room air (if no drying
cabinet is available) 12-24 hours, depending
on surrounding conditions.
CAUTION: Never dry the cassette by
applying high-pressure air as the internal
tubing may be damaged.
Note: Drying may not be necessary if the
washer-disinfector has a drying phase.
