Using Bacterial Fi Lters - Hoffrichter CPAP User Manual

USING BACTERIAL FILTERS
If the device is intended for use by more than one patient (e.g., operation in
clinics), a suitable bacterial fi lter (e.g., MEDISIZE BARR-VENT S) must continu-
ously be used to protect the device from contamination by human pathogens.
Change the bacterial fi lter daily and follow the manufacturer's user's manual.
If the optionally available humidifi er aquapoint 2 is used with the device,
a bacterial fi lter must not be used.
On a change of patient, carry out the following steps:
• Replace the bacterial fi lter.
• Disinfect all the parts of the housing and the connections with a suitable
agent, e.g., Mikrozid® Liquid.
• Change the fi lter or if you are using the optionally available
either change its coarse and fi ne fi lter and disinfect the surface of the fi lter
system or replace the entire fi lter system with a new one.
If there is any doubt, it should be assumed that the device is contaminated
and it should be hygienically prepared according to the hygiene concept.
