Maintenance
Configuration and firmware information appears on the display screen after powering on the
device. Additional device information is available through the Menu (select Unit Info),
including the device's calibration date. For most customers, the ventilator operates on an annual
preventative maintenance cycle, and the device issues a low priority alarm to remind you when
calibration is due.
Note:
Cleaning
Keep the ventilator and its accessories clean at all times. Never allow grease or oil to enter the
system or coat its components.
Clean the device at regular intervals and maintain up-to-date records of inspections, cleaning,
and maintenance.
Take care to prevent liquids from entering the ventilator. Never submerge the ventilator and
avoid using excessive amounts of water that might enter the device. Dry all exposed parts
following use in wet environments.
Clean the device's housing and hose connections with a damp, soapy cloth.
For general decontamination and cleaning, apply a 10% bleach solution with a damp cloth.
Do not clean the device with abrasives or chlorinated hydrocarbon cleansers, which damage the
housing and interface lens.
After cleaning, thoroughly dry the device with a lint-free cloth. Make sure that all exposed
surfaces are cleaned and dried.
Warning!
Never use oil or grease of any kind with oxygen or compressed gas equipment.
Post-Contaminated Environment Cleaning
If you have used the ventilator in an environment where it may have been exposed to
contamination from a hazardous materials accident, mass epidemic, or weapon of mass
destruction, we recommend that you follow these guidelines:
1. Always follow the decontamination procedures specified by the local Incident Command
Safety Officer.
You should clean and decontaminate the equipment as soon as possible after use. Personnel
2.
should always wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment while decontaminating
equipment.
Review the cleaning instructions that we provide in the previous section.
3.
Since the potential list of contaminants that the ventilator might be exposed to is so large, it
4.
is difficult to provide an appropriate cleaning method for each type of exposure. An effective
cleaning agent for one type of exposure may not be effective with another. Cleaning and
sterilizing practices may vary between institutions. We suggest that each facility have in
place a procedure for the cleaning and disinfection of its medical equipment and that these
procedures to be consulted for further guidance.
7-2
The alarm is based on a countdown timer. It does not indicate an issue with the
ventilator, only that 365 days have passed and you should schedule preventative
maintenance.
