SECTION 5 CARE, CLEANING & STERILISATION
(a) Care
The babyPAC ventilator is designed to operate in the face of the tough treatment it may receive
during its intended use but to prolong its life and retain its appearance basic care should be taken in
its cleaning and stowage between uses. In particular the following steps are recommended to be
taken after every use:-
(i)
Carefully inspect the complete system and make note of what actions should be taken. In
particular check for damage to hoses or masks, contamination of any component, evidence
of any part having been subjected to excessive force, missing parts and gas cylinder
contents.
(ii)
Clean or sterilise all parts, as necessary.
(iii)
Reassemble the system and carry out the functional check specified in Section 3b.
(iv)
Stow the system in a clean area, or in its carrying case, away from heat and intense
light.
(b) Cleaning
(i)
Control Module - The control module may only be cleaned by means of a damp cloth. For
obstinate marks a mild soap or non-abrasive cleaner may be used. Wipe dry immediately
with a soft clean cloth.
Do not attempt to sterilise the control module or to clean it by immersion in any fluid.
Do not allow any oil or grease to come into contact with the module or, in particular, with
the input and output fittings because of the potential fire risk when oxygen is being used.
(ii)
Exhalation Valve: The exhalation valve can be disassembled for cleaning by unscrewing the
body of the 22/15mm taper connector. The knurled portion assists the grip during this
operation. Once the connector is removed the rubber valve element can be eased off its
spigot.
Thoroughly clean the connector and the valve element either in running hot water or in a
detergent solution followed by thorough rinsing under running water.
Dry both parts thoroughly and check them for damage before reassembly. Ensure that the
valve element is correctly mounted on its spigot with the centre pip pointing outwards
before replacing the connector body. Tighten firmly but without excessive force.
The fixed part of the exhalation valve does not come into contact with the patient’s exhaled
gases so does not normally need to be cleaned. If cleaning should be necessary this may be
done with a damp cloth.
(iii)
Patient Circuit: The patient circuit can be removed and cleaned in the same manner as the
exhalation valve.
(iv) Hoses:- The supply hose may be cleaned in the same manner as the control module taking
the same care to keep free from grease.
