STERILIZATION
Sterilize the product using a gravity steam autoclave running a full cycle at 134 – 135 °C
(274 – 275 °F) with an exposure time of 10 minutes and a dry time of 60 minutes� Leave the
components to dry and/or cool completely before reassembling the resuscitator�
Inspection of components
After reprocessing, carefully inspect all components for damage and residuals or
excessive wear and replace if necessary� Some methods may cause discoloration of rubber
components without impact on their lifetime� In case of material deterioration, e�g�,
cracking, the components should be discarded and replaced with a new component�
In case of sterilization, the oxygen reservoir bag can look slightly wrinkled� This has no
impact on its lifetime or function�
Reassembly
Manually reassemble the components of the resuscitator as shown in
6
�
• When inserting the valve housing of the inlet valve, make sure that the bag opening
seats smoothly against the flange�
• When inserting the valve discs, make sure the butt of the stem is pushed and pulled
through the hole in the middle of the valve seating, as shown in figure
6.1
6.2
and
6.3
�
• When mounting the splash guard: Note that the opening of the splash guard should
face downwards
6.1
�
• When mounting the oxygen reservoir bag on to the Ambu Oval Plus Silicone
Resuscitator Neonate, attach the adaptor to the resuscitator inlet valve by mounting
the adaptor's corrugated connector onto the inlet connector, and additionally,
by mounting the adaptor's cap to cover the oxygen inlet connector� Subsequently,
connect the oxygen reservoir bag to the adaptor's corrugated connector�
Perform a functionality test after reassembly and before it is prepared for immediate use in
emergency situations (see section 4�2�2�)�
Service
The resuscitator requires no scheduled maintenance other than regular reprocessing,
inspection and testing�
