Safety information
Information on reprocessing
Follow the national infection prevention policies and
reprocessing regulations.
Follow the infection prevention policies and repro-
cessing regulations of the health-care facility (e.g.,
concerning the reprocessing cycles).
Classifications for reprocessing
Classification of medical devices
The classification depends on the intended use of
the medical device. The risk of infection transmis-
sion through the application of the product to the pa-
tient without proper reprocessing is the basis of the
Spaulding classification.
Categorization and classification
The following classification is a recommendation
from Dräger.
Before reprocessing
The patient-specific accessories and consumables
must be removed from the device and, if necessary,
disassembled.
Reprocess the reusable products in accordance
with the instructions given in these instructions
for use.
Dispose of the disposable products.
Removing the accessories
Disconnect the transfer hose, possible second
transfer hose, scavenging hose and optional
sample gas return line from receiving system
and basic device.
Disconnect receiving system from basic device.
Rotate buffer volume container to the left and re-
move.
Remove flow tube and filter if the AGS header is
to be reprocessed in a washer-disinfector.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury
When using the AGSS without ejector, a re-
ceiving system complying with the EN ISO
9170-2 standard must be used.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury
Make sure to install the hoses without loops
and kinks.
CAUTION
Risk of patient injury
Check the flow tube for cracking before every use.
Replace flow tube if damaged.
009
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Do not cover the side openings (D) of the re-
ceiving system. Otherwise there may be a
shortage of fresh gas in the breathing system.

WARNING
Risk due to inappropriately reprocessed prod-
ucts
Reusable products must be reprocessed, oth-
erwise there is an increased risk of infection.
– Follow the infection prevention policies and
reprocessing regulations of the health-care
facility.
– Follow the national infection prevention
policies and reprocessing regulations.
– Use validated procedures for reprocessing.
– Reprocess reusable products after every
use.
– Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning agents, disinfectants, and repro-
cessing devices.
CAUTION
Risk due to faulty products
Signs of wear, e.g., cracks, deformation, discolor-
ation, or peeling, may occur with reprocessed
products.
Check the products for signs of wear and replace
them if necessary.
Classification Explanation
Non-critical
Components that come into con-
tact only with skin that is intact
Semi-critical
Components that carry breathing
gas or come into contact with
mucous membranes or patho-
logically altered skin
Critical
Components that penetrate skin
or mucous membranes or come
into contact with blood
