Reprocessing the water tub and air outlet

Disassembling

The following instructions provide guidance on how to correctly disassemble the cleanable water tub and the air outlet.

1. Remove the water tub from the device, open it and discard any remaining water.

2. Hold the water tub base and then fully open the water tub lid and pull it away so that it easily detaches from the base.

3. Remove the water tub seal from the water tub lid by pulling it away.

4. Align the swivel so that the connector port is on the right. If the swivel is not in this position you will not be able to remove

the air outlet.

5. Locate the air outlet on the inside of the device and release it by pressing the clip firmly.

6. Remove the air outlet by pulling it out through the air outlet socket at the rear of the device.

If the device is used with the side cover, reprocessing of the air outlet is not required when a recommended antibacterial filter

is installed in-line between the device and air tubing.

The antibactieral filter must be discarded and replaced between each patient.

If the device and side cover are used without the recommended antibacterial filter, then the air outlet must be reprocessed

before re-use with another patient.

Decontaminating

Before the disinfection process, each component must be cleaned and rinsed so no visible contamination is present.

1. Clean all components with a soft bristled brush for one minute while soaking in detergent solution (see table below). Pay

particular attention to all crevices and cavities.

2. Thoroughly rinse each component according to the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
