5 CLEANING, DECONTAMINATION
AND MAINTENANCE
Routine cleaning and maintenance of the
flexiVent
FX system are essential to ensure it
continues to operate properly.
5.1 CYLINDER
The precision ground glass cylinder and graphite piston assembly is the most sensitive part of
the
flexiVent
. Please note the following to ensure a long lifespan of this component.
The cylinder does not require lubrication and should not be lubricated in any way for
any reason.
The cylinder must not be exposed to particulate matter or aerosols, as this may cause
permanent damage.
If particles, aerosol or other substance accidentally enters the cylinder, stop operation
immediately. The module must be thoroughly cleaned by an authorized representative
or the SCIREQ service team before operation resumes. Contact SCIREQ Customer
Support for additional details.
