Power off the ventilation system before cleaning and disinfecting it. Ensure that the patient receives adequate
ventilation therapy; place the patient on an alternate means of ventilation if necessary.
• Using a clean cloth, clean and disinfect the external surfaces of the ventilation system with 70% isopropyl
alcohol or PDI Super Sani-Cloth® Germicidal Disposable Wipes as necessary and between uses.
NOTE:
If using PDI Super Sani-Cloth® Germicidal Disposable Wipes, allow for the manufacturer’s suggested
wait time before you wipe off the residue.
• Wipe the surface of the ventilation system with clean dry cloth to remove any residual cleaner.
• Do not clean the ventilation system with petrochemical or oil-based materials.
• Clean the touch screen with a soft microfiber cloth and disinfect with PDI Super Sani-Cloth® Germicidal
Disposable Wipes as necessary. After allowing for the manufacturer’s suggested wait time, wipe the screen

CAUTION:
• 70% isopropyl alcohol may damage the touch screen. When cleaning external surfaces of the ventilation
system with 70% isopropyl alcohol, avoid contact with the touch screen.
• Keep in a clean environment to protect the ventilation system from ingress of dust, lint, and pests.
