sensor can leak and cause burns
(contains potassium hydroxide).
Reuse of undisinfected reusable accessories or components may cause
cross-contamination.
To prevent leaks, avoid damaging any component in case of disassembling and
reassembling the breathing system. Ensure the correct installation of the system.
Make sure of the applicability and correctness of the cleaning and disinfection
methods.
Disassemble and reassemble the breathing system as described in this manual. If
you need further disassembly and reassembly, contact us. Improper disassembling
and reassembling may cause breathing system to leak and compromise normal
system use.
Seeping liquid into the control assembly can damage the equipment or cause
personal injury. When cleaning the housing, ensure that no liquid flows into the
control assemblies and always disconnect the equipment from the AC mains.
Reconnect the AC mains after the cleaned parts are fully dry.
To avoid sticky residuals, do not use talc, zinc stearate, calcium carbonate, corn
starch, or equivalent materials. These materials can go into the patient’s lungs and
airways and cause irritation or injury.
CAUTION
To prevent patient exposure to disinfection agents and to prevent premature
deterioration of parts, use the cleaning and disinfection methods and agents
recommended in this section.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect electrical power from the
ventilator before cleaning and disinfection.
