Chapter 11Cleaning and Disinfection
WARNING

Obey applicable safety precautions.

Read the material safety data sheet for each cleaning agent.

Read the operation and service instructions for all disinfection equipment.

Wear gloves and safety glasses. A damaged O2 sensor can leak and cause burns
(contains potassium hydroxide).

Reuse of undisinfected reusable accessories or components may cause
cross-contamination.

To prevent leaks, avoid damaging any component in case of disassembling and
reassembling the breathing system. Ensure the correct installation of the system. Make
sure of the applicability and correctness of the cleaning and disinfection methods.

Disassemble and reassemble the breathing system as described in this manual. If you
need further disassembly and reassembly, contact us. Improper disassembling and
reassembling may cause breathing system to leak and compromise normal system use.

Seeping liquid into the control assembly can damage the equipment or cause personal
injury. When cleaning the housing, ensure 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.

To avoid sticky residuals, do not use talc, zinc stearate, calcium carbonate, corn starch,
or equivalent materials. These materials can go into the patient’s lungs and airways and
cause irritation or injury.
CAUTION

To prevent patient exposure to disinfection agents and to prevent premature
deterioration of parts, use the cleaning and disinfection methods and agents
recommended in this section.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect electrical power from the ventilator
before cleaning and disinfection.
NOTE

Clean and disinfect the equipment as required before it is put into use for the first time.
Refer to this chapter for the cleaning and disinfection methods.

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.

Only autoclave parts marked 134ºC.

Cleaning solutions must have a pH of 7.0 to 10.5.
