The ventilator
iTernIS ADV
and the parts associated to the patient circuit (hoses,
connectors, accessories, etc.) are delivered clean but not sterilized.
The parts which come into contact with the patient are easily disassembled for cle-
aning and subsequent sterilization, which should be done after every use.
PRECAUTION
• The ventilator is not autoclavable and is not
compatible with ethylene oxide. Do not subject
the equipment to any of these methods of steri-
lization.
NOTE
• The information provided to manage the cle -
aning and sterilization of the different compo-
nents works as a guide. This can be adapted to
the protocols of each department or service, so
long as the warnings and cautions stated in this
chapter are respected.
• To discard all of the equipment, parts, or ele -
ments provided by other suppliers, follow the
requirements of the institutional authority.
WARNING
• Do not clean the screen with harsh chemical
solvents, nor acid-based or alkaline subs -
tances. Use a soft cloth soaked in a solution
of neutral detergent and water. A solution
containing 80% of isopropyl alcohol can
also be used. Never use substances which
contain ammonia.
• Do not spray the cleaning product directly
onto the screen. Apply the chosen substan -
ce onto a soft cloth with which to wipe the
screen.
All parts of the patient circuit must be in perfect aseptic conditions at time of use.
All items delivered by HEYER Medical AG. with the ventilator, which are not pertai-
ning to the same manufacturing, must be cleaned and sterilized according to the
specifications of their manufacturers. Read and adhere to these instructions, in
order to always use the items duly equipped with the ventilator
iTernIS ADV
.
For cleaning prior to sterilization, the patient circuit must be completely disassem-
bled in order to expose all surfaces. It is inadmissible that remnants of organic
material be left stuck onto any segment of the circuit. See Fig. 16-1 showing a
diagram of the patient circuit.
