Care and maintenance
Bacteria filter, patient
circuit, and other
accessories
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions that accompany the accessory.
WARNING: To prevent patient or ventilator contamination, inspect and replace the
main flow bacteria filter between patients and at regular intervals (or as
stated by the manufacturer).
WARNING: To prevent possible patient injury, inspect and verify the proper operation
of the exhalation port regularly during use.
CAUTION: Because some environments cause a quicker collection of lint and
dust than others, inspect the filters more often when needed. The air
inlet filter should be replaced; the cooling fan filter should be
cleaned.
CAUTION: To ensure proper system performance, use a Respironics-approved air
inlet filter.
