CLEANING:
Only the exterior of the filter can be cleaned. This is done by a gentle wipe down using only mild cleaning solutions that
are compatible with polystyrene plastic such as Isopropyl Alcohol or Chlorine Compounds. These cleaning solutions are
to be diluted by volume in water, with a recommended maximum concentration of 1:10.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to clean the filter media. Do not attempt to sterilize or reuse the filter.
WARNING
To avoid increased filter flow resistance, do not immerse breathing circuit filters in liquid. To avoid a
reduction in filtration efficiency, do not attempt to scrub or touch the filter medium located inside the filter.
INSPECTION: Inspect for any visible damage to the plastic housing or the folded filter media before use. Discard if there
is any damage.
REPLACEMENT: AVEA Disposable Exhalation Filter, including the drain tube and the pinch clamp are single use items.
Replace with a new unused filter at each circuit change.
WARNING
Do not attempt to sterilize or reuse this filter.
Note:
Dispose used filters in accordance with your institution's protocol. Sterilize before nondestructive disposal. Follow local
governing ordinances and recycling plans regarding disposal or recycling of medical device components
