Maintenance & Cleaning
Handle
The exterior of the Handle can be
periodically wiped using a cloth
dampened with disinfectant.
Control Unit
Ensure the Control Unit is disconnected from the
mains electricity supply before cleaning.
Do not spray disinfectant directly on to the
Control Unit, or immerse the Control Unit in
any type of liquid. This could result in a severe
electrical hazard as this equipment has no
protection against ingress of water.
This equipment is not suitable for use in the
presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with
air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Wipe down Control Unit with warm water containing
detergent (or with a solution of Sodium Hypochlorite or
similar) and dry thoroughly before use.
Air Filter Replacement
1. Switch off the power supply to the
Control Unit.
2. Disconnect the power cord and air hoses.
3. Place the Control Unit on a flat surface with its back
panel uppermost (place soft cloth under unit to
prevent scratches).
4. Carefully remove the air filter cover. Remove and
discard the filter and fit with a new filter (there may
be a small locking screw – use a small Phillips Head
screwdriver to remove this first).
5. Refit the air filter cover to the Control Unit. The Control
Unit is now ready for re-connection.
Good filter maintenance is critical to maintain
your SoftAIR system to optimal operating
condition. Failure to keep the filters clean will
result in system downtime and increase repair
costs. It is recommended that the air filter be
replaced annually. Replacement air filters are
available from your local Invacare Ltd sales
office.
Fuse Replacement
1. Switch off the power supply to the Control Unit.
2. Remove the power cord from the electrical socket
on the side of the Control Unit.
3. Insert a small flat head screwdriver into the groove
and turn anti-clockwise (1/4 turn).
4. Remove the “blown” fuse from the fuse holder clip
and discard.
5. Insert a new fuse into the plug. Push against the
force of the spring and turn clockwise with the
screwdriver (1/4 turn).
Ensure the replacement of fuses is carried out
in accordance with local legislation.
