7.2 Cleaning the Accessories
Follow the accessory manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning the ventilator’s accessories and components,
including the patient circuit.
Warning
After assembling, cleaning, or reassembling the patient circuit, and on a daily basis, inspect the
hoses and other components to ensure that there are no cracks or leaks and that all connections
are secure.
Never use a liquid cleaner inside the patient circuit, or on any component of a gas pathway.
Clean the patient circuit only as specified by the manufacturer's instructions.
7.3 Cleaning the Exhalation Block
Warning
The exhalation block is intended for single use by a single patient . It may periodically be
cleaned, but it cannot be disinfected or sterilised. To maintain good measurement quality when
used continuously, clean the exhalation block periodically. The exhalation block should be
changed every 4 months and cannot be reused with any other patient.
Ensure that the exhalation block is completely dried after cleaning and prior to use.
When an exhalation block is set up, each time it is removed, or after installing a new exhalation
block on the machine, it is essential that the exhalation flow sensor be recalibrated before the
exhalation block is used.
