5.1 Cleaning during use
Should the valve become blocked as a result of
regurgitation, clean it as follows:
• Unscrew the valve cage.
• Clean the valve element and valve body with the
finger or by gentle tapping.
• Rapidly squeeze the bag several times to blow
out any foreign particles.
• Screw in the valve cage, check the function and
continue ventilation.
Note: Always check the function of the resuscitator
after cleaning and re-assembly!
• Partially cover the patient connection.
• Squeeze the bag and check the valve element
for correct function and leak-tightness (see “4.2
Checking the function” on page 11).
5.2 Maintenance and service
With proper use and maintenance of the
COMBIBAG no additional service is required. Just the
intake diaphragm should be examined once a year.
The diaphragm is ready for proper use if no cracking
spots are visible.
Wavy, distorted or sticked items have to be replaced.
A frequent functional check is recommended to be
carried out according to Pt. “4.2 Checking the func-
tion”.
