Cassette maintenance
Clean and drain the cassettes as recommended.
Cleaning
Do not wipe the cassette with alcohol or alcohol-based
detergents. This may damage the surface of the
cassette.
1. Remove the cassette from the system.
2. Clean the cassette surface with a cloth moistened in a mild soap
solution.
Draining cassettes
All types of Aladin cassettes must be emptied before shipping.
Package the cassettes in suitable wrapping when shipping.
1. Remove the cassette from the machine, and place it on a
horizontal surface.
• Make sure that the valve pins do not come in contact with
the system or any other object.
2. Connect an empty bottle with the appropriate filler type to the
cassette filler port and hold the connection tight.
3. Turn the cassette so that agent flows into the bottle and wait
until the cassette is empty.
4. To get the maximum amount of agent out of the cassette, rock
the cassette from left to right and tip it forward and backward
several times.
5. Remove the agent bottle from the cassette.
6. Return the cassette to the horizontal position.
7. After draining the cassette, dry out the cassette (except
halothane cassette).
• Insert the cassette into the active bay on a system.
• Run the system at least 15 minutes at a high fresh gas flow
and a high agent concentration.
Do not dry halothane cassettes.
