Cleaning and Maintenance
Certain components of the ventilator, such as the exhalation valve
and the front panel, consist of materials that are sensitive to some
organic solvents used for cleaning and disinfection (e.g. phenols,
halogen releasing compounds, oxygen releasing compounds, and
strong organic acids). Exposure to such substances may cause
damage that is not immediately recognizable.
The reusable exhalation valve, reusable breathing circuit and other
parts that come in direct contact with the patient should be sterilized
between uses.
