Only gases may be introduced through the air intake (e.g. room air, non-flammable mixed
gas, inhaled anesthesia). Introduction of other substances through the air/gas intake, e.g.
particulates or aerosol, may damage the module’s piston.
Always unscrew the piston rod before attempting to remove the module from the base unit.
Handle the module carefully. Avoid straining or bending the piston rod.
Clean the expiratory valve only. Do not attempt to clean the refill or inspiratory valves.
Do not attempt to clean or dry the expiratory line while an FX adapter is in place in the
module. Also, do not attempt to clean or dry the expiratory line while outside of an
experimentation session. Attempting to clean or dry the expiratory line with the valve close
will damage the module.

Do not dismantle the module or base unit to attempt to clean it.
Do not use abrasive or sharp tools to clean the nebulizer unit.
