MAINTENANCE
CHECKING AND REPLACING THE COOLING FILTER ASSEMBLY
The cooling filter is used to filter air that enters the compressor to cool it during operation.
The cooling filter assembly (including the cooling filter and cooling filter cover) needs to be changed every three
to six months, or as needed.
NOTE:
The compressor is shipped with a cooling filter assembly already installed.
Place the patient on an alternate means of ventilation.
If operating in Stationary or Extended Range Configuration, power off the ventilator.
Power off the compressor.
Locate the cooling filter cover on the back of the compressor.
Remove the cooling filter assembly by pulling the cooling
filter cover directly out from the back of the compressor.
Inspect the used cooling filter.
Replace the cooling filter assembly if the filter is blocked by
dirt or dust or is otherwise contaminated. If replacing the
cooling filter assembly, obtain a replacement from Breathe
Technologies®. For more information about purchasing
replacement parts, refer to "Accessories and Replacement
Parts" on page 133.
Replace the cooling filter assembly on the back of the compressor by pushing it back into place until it is
secure.
NOTES:
• Reusing contaminated filters is not recommended.
• Dispose of used filters in accordance with your facility's guidelines or local regulations.
• The filter might need to be changed more frequently in particulate-filled environments.
WARNING:
• Do not power on or use the compressor without the filters and condensation tray properly installed.
• Do not insert foreign objects into any part of the ventilation system.
CAUTION:
Use only a Breathe Technologies® approved filter with the compressor.
