Reprocessing
Inserting the flow sensors and the ports
1. Insert the expiratory flow sensor (A).

4. Push in the inspiratory port (D). Tighten the knurled nut.
WARNING
Risk of fire
High temperatures arise in the flow sensors, for example, in operation or
while calibrating during a system test. Due to the high temperatures,
residual vapors of flammable disinfectants (e.g., alcohols) and residues that
were not removed during reprocessing may ignite.
– Ensure particle-free cleaning and disinfection.
– After disinfection, allow the flow sensor to air for at least 30 minutes.
– Before inserting the flow sensor, check for visible damage and soiling,
such as residual mucus, medication aerosols, and particles.
– Replace flow sensors when damaged, soiled, or not particle-free.
