Prevent any foreign objects from getting into the
patient valve.
Disinfecting / Sterilizing
To prevent any damage, we recommend that only deter-
gents and disinfectants are used that are compatible with
the materials used in the ventilator and its accessories,
e.g. surface disinfectants on the basis of aldehydes,
alcohol, or quarternary ammonium compounds for
disinfection of the main unit.
Ensure that all disinfectants are registered with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency for use as intended.
Always follow the instruction labels specifically with
respect to prescribed concentrations and the necessary
exposure times.
Wipe Disinfection:
Use for ventilator, circuit support arm, mobile stand, and
high pressure hoses.
●
Disinfect by wiping all surfaces following manufac-
turer's instructions of disinfectant used regarding
concentrations and application.
CAUTION !
Follow all accepted hospital procedures for disin-
fecting parts contaminated by body fluids (protec-
tive clothing, eyewear, etc.).
CAUTION !
Certain components of the ventilator consist of
materials that are sensitive to certain organic sol-
vents sometimes used for cleaning and disinfec-ting
(e.g., phenols, halogen releasing compounds, oxy-
gen releasing compounds, strong organic acids,
etc.). Exposure to such substances may cause
damage that is not always immediately recognized.
Sterilization of the ventilator itself with ethylene ox-
ide (EtO) is also not recommended.
