1. Only use neutral cleaning agents. Do not use disinfectants due to risk of corrosion.
2. Use disinfectants based on aldehydes and quaternary ammonium compounds, see page 175.
Note: Testing was performed with Incidin Extra N and Incidur (wiping), and Gigasept FF and Korsolex Extra (disinfection by immersion).
3. Do not use any agents containing alcohol.
4. Remove any water which may have accumulated in the ventilator diaphragm.
Larger quantities of condensation may impair operation of the workstation and/or lead to failure of the equipment.
5. Only with fully demineralized water.
6. The valve plate must be sterilized after washing in order to dry it. Correct operation of the workstation may be impaired and lead to failure of the
workstation if the control areas in the valve plate are not dried completely.
7. Disinfect the flow sensor in 70% ethanol or isopropanol solution for approx. 1 hour and leave to dry in air for at least 30 minutes.
8. Use disinfectants based on glutaraldehyde and ortho phthaldehyde compounds.
Note: testing was performed with Cidex and Cidex OPA (disinfection by immersion).
