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.
