Maintenance Cleaning and Disinfection
CAUTION: If moisture remains in the bellows after cleaning, the bellows surface
folds may become tacky and prevent the bellows from properly
expanding. Ensure all moisture is removed from the bellows after
cleaning.
c. After all bellows components are completely dry, inspect them for damage before
disinfection or re-assembly and functional testing.
d. If disinfecting the bellows components, continue with step 7, otherwise skip to step 8.
7. Disinfection
NOTE: Ensure that all bellows components have been cleaned as described in
step 6 before disinfecting.
Use an approved disinfecting agent (see TABLE 7-3 on page 7-9 ) for all bellows components while
adhering to facility policies and procedures.
8. Connect the bellows to the breathing system by reassembling all components in the reverse
order. 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 4-8)
"Leak and Compliance Tests").
