Cleaning and Maintenance
240 Instructions for Use Apollo SW 4.5n
Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
Reassembling components
Visual inspection
1. Inspect all parts for damage and wear, e.g.
cracking, embrittlement or major hardening and
residual soiling.
2. If necessary, use a dry cloth to remove residual
cleaning agent and disinfectants from the valve
plate, the ventilator module, and the pins of the
breathing system heating.
CAUTION!
Risk of device failure
If inappropriate substances are used for hygienic
preparation, the device and its components may be
damaged (corrosion, condensation).
Apollo and its components must not be treated with
formaldehyde vapors or ethylene oxide.
WARNING!
Risk of scavenger becoming blocked
If objects such as packing foil get into the
device, e.g., the breathing system or the
ventilator drawer, the scavenger may become
blocked.
Make sure that there is no packing material left
inside the device.
CAUTION!
Risk of faulty components
Even accessories designed to be reused and
removable device parts have a limited service life.
Handling and reprocessing can increase wear and
markedly shorten service life (e.g., disinfectant
residues can attack the material more intensely
during autoclaving).
If signs of wear become visible, such as cracks,
deformation, discoloration, peeling, etc., affected
accessories must be replaced.
