FIGURE 7-21 Gasket installation
WARNING: Use extreme care while handling the absorbent as it contains a caustic
irritant.
WARNING: Check if the gasket is properly installed in place while installing the
absorber canister. If the gasket is not properly installed (for example,
gasket is not evenly seated and centered) it may cause breathing
system leakage.
WARNING: Ensure that the absorber canister is completely dry before adding
absorbent.
7. While noting the previous WARNING, add new Pre-Pak or loose fill absorbent to the
absorber canister. Re-install the absorber canister into the assembly. Rotate the locking
mechanism handle clockwise into the locked position (see FIGURE 7-20). 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").
