Disinfection
The CCV and breathing circuit must be cleaned before and after each
use. For instructions and appropriate cleaning methods, see
CLEANING AND STERILIZATION
.
HME filters should be discarded between patients to avoid cross-
contamination.
Filter Replacement
The CCV contains a particle filter located inside the room air inlet on the
side of the unit. This filter removes dust and other particles from the
ambient air drawn in by the compressor. This filter should be checked
every 3 months
on CCVs in regular use, and changed if visibly dirty.
To replace the filter, remove the protective screen by prying it off
with fingernails or a dull flat tool. Discard the filter, insert a fresh one,
and replace the protective screen.
Battery Care
To prolong battery life, keep the internal and external batteries plugged
into mains at all times. Do not allow a battery to run the ventilator until
fully depleted (the ventilator stops working), as this will reduce the
battery life. Batteries should be replaced every 3 years to ensure
continued performance. See
CCV BATTERIES
for more information.
GRADIAN-CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN MAINTENANCE
In order to ensure patient and provider safety, a technician certified by
Gradian to work on the CCV will perform scheduled annual maintenance
during the warranty period. This work should not be attempted by
anyone not certified by Gradian.
