12.4.3 Remove volume reflector
1. Remove the volume reflector adaptor (A).
2. If considered necessary, remove the
safety valve (B) using an Allen key and
thread it onto the metal stand together
with the volume reflector adaptor.
A B
For devices with serial numbers below 5001,
the volume reflector adaptor has a steel wire
retaining bracket. For devices with serial
numbers above 5001, the volume reflector
adaptor is delivered without this retaining
bracket. The adaptor without the retaining
bracket can be used on all FLOW-i devices,
while the adaptor with the retaining bracket
may NOT be used for devices with serial
numbers above 5001. To avoid any risk of
confusion, it is a good idea to remove the
retaining bracket from the volume reflector
adaptor.
Cleaning the safety valve is usually not
necessary unless special conditions apply; the
patient is a carrier of pulmonary contagious
agents etc.
3. Firmly pull out the volume reflector from
the system.
The volume reflector must also be cleaned
when the patient cassette is cleaned.
