Cleaning and Maintenance
the lifetime of the flow sensor is maintained, the risk of cross
contamination between patients is reduced, the risk of infection being
spread to the staff is reduced and expiratory resistance is kept to a
minimum.
NOTE: Any practice that adds moisture to the exhaled gas will cause
the filter on the From Patient port to get wet more quickly and require
that it be changed more often.
Caution For cleaning/disinfecting the exterior surface of the
ventilator system, use a soft cloth that is moistened with a cleaning/
disinfecting agent. Do not use harsh abrasives, hard brushes,
or cleaning/disinfecting agents that contain phenols, ammonium
chloride, chloride compounds, or more than 2.4% glutaraldehyde.
Caution Plastic components should not come in contact with the
following solutions because they may cause disintegration of the
component:
1. Hypochlorite
2. Phenol (> 5%)
3. Inorganic Acids
4. Formaldehyde
5. Ketone
6. Chlorinated Hydrocarbons
7. Aromatic Hydrocarbon
Caution Use only the cleaning and sterilization methods
specifically listed for each ventilator component. Consult accessory
manufacturer’s guidelines for specific cleaning, disinfecting, and
sterilizing guidelines.
