Apollo Operator’s Manual 177
Part Number: 90 38 237, 6th edition
• Do not clean the SpiroLife flow sensor in a
cleaning and disinfection machine or with
compressed air, water jets, brushes, etc. These
methods would damage the thin sensor wires
inside.
• The flow sensor can be reused as long as it can
be calibrated successfully.
• The flow sensor is not suitable for plasma or
radiation sterilization.
CLIC Adapter
In the event of major condensation in the adapter (e.g.
during minimum flow operation), disinfect the adapter
in moist heat together with the disassembled breathing
system after not more than 24 hours of operation. This
will ensure that the adapter is cleaned, disinfected, and
dried.
WARNING !
If condensation flows back from the breathing
tubes into the adapter (tubes routed upwards),
the breathing tubes must be regularly drained at
short intervals.
