Maintenance Cleaning and Disinfection
CAUTION: Use care in lifting and manipulating the breathing system block during
removal from its mounting arm as handling may be awkward due to its
weight and shape.
CAUTION: The breathing system block is calibrated and matched with the
anesthesia machine at the factory. A label in the back of the machine
indicates the serial number of the matching breathing system block.
When reassembling, ensure that the breathing system block and
anesthesia machine are properly matched. Otherwise, the breathing
system must be recalibrated.
5. While holding the sides of the breathing system block, firmly separate and slide it away from
its mounting arm.
