3) To clean the exhalation valve and patient circuit, remove all gross particulate matter and bathe
for a minimum of 10 minutes in 50% water and 50% vinegar, KlenZyme, or another enzymatic
cleaner warmed to 95°F to 150°F (35°C to 65.5°C). Rinse gently for 2 minutes and use a low
flow air source to eliminate any residual fluid. Ultrasonic cleaning is not recommended. To clean
the water trap use a mild detergent solution followed by rinsing and drying with a low-flow air
source.
CAUTION
Cleaning the Water Trap – Do NOT use KlenZyme to clean Pulmonetic water traps. It will cause
deterioration of the water trap material.
ATTENTION
Nettoyage du piège à eau – NE PAS utiliser KlenZyme pour nettoyer les pièges à eau Pulmonetic.
Le cas échéant, le matériau composant le piège à eau se détériorera.
