Warning
◆
Obey applicable safety precautions.
◆
Read the material safety data sheet for each cleaning agent.
◆
Read the operation and service manual for all disinfection equipment.
◆
Wear gloves and safety glasses. A damaged O

sensor can leak and cause burns (contains
potassium hydroxide).
◆
Reuse of non-disinfected breathing system or reusable accessories may cause cross-
contamination.
◆
The operations described in Preoperative Test must be performed before patient use every
time the Anesthetic machine has been disassembled for cleaning and disinfection or has been
reassembled.
◆
To prevent leaks, avoid damaging any component in case of disassembling and reassembling
the breathing system. Ensure the correct installation of the system, especially of the seal.
Make sure of the applicability and correctness of the cleaning and disinfection methods.
◆
Disassemble and reassemble the breathing system as described in this manual. For further
disassembly and reassembly, contact us. Improper disassembling and reassembling may
cause breathing system leak and compromise normal system use.
Caution
⚫
Clean and disinfect the equipment as required before it is put into use for the first time.
⚫
To help prevent damage, refer to the manufacturer’s data if you have questions about a
cleaning agent.
⚫
Do not use organic, halogenated, or petroleum-based solvents, Anesthetic agents, glass
cleaners, acetone, or other harsh cleaning agents.
⚫
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents (such as steel wool, silver polish or cleaner).
⚫
Keep all liquids away from electronic parts.
⚫
Do not permit liquid to go into the equipment housings.

9.1 Clean and Disinfect the Anesthetic Machine Housing
1. Clean the surface of the Anesthetic machine housing with a damp cloth soaked in mild
detergent (such as 70% ethanol).
2. After cleaning the housing, remove the remaining detergent by wiping with a dry lint free cloth.
Warning
◆
Seeping liquid into the control assembly can damage the equipment or cause personal injury.
When cleaning the housing, make sure that no liquid flows into the control assemblies and
always disconnect the equipment from the AC mains. Reconnect the AC mains after the
cleaned parts are fully dry.
