7.10.7 APL Valve
1. The APL valve is a component that is plugged into position and secured by a threaded base
collar. Loosen the base collar of the APL valve by turning the collar (not the valve knob)
counterclockwise until it is no longer threaded (see
FIGURE 7-14). Then, firmly pull the APL
valve upward to remove.

2. Cleaning
a. Clean the APL valve with a soft, lint-free cloth and a recommended cleaning agent (see
section7.10.2 (page 7-11) "Cleaning and Disinfecting Agents / Autoclaving"). Allow it to
dry thoroughly.
b. If disinfecting the APL valve, continue with step 3, otherwise skip to step 4.
3. Disinfection
NOTE: Ensure that the APL valve has been cleaned as described in step 2
before disinfecting.
See section7.10.2 (page 7-11) "Cleaning and Disinfecting Agents / Autoclaving" and use an
approved disinfecting agent for the APL valve while adhering to facility policies and procedures.
4. Reassemble the APL valve by turning its base collar clockwise until it is securely tightened.
Prior to use after cleaning or disinfecting, power up the system and follow the on-screen
prompts to perform the leak test and the compliance test (see section4.5 (page 4-9) "Leak
and Compliance Tests")..
