Change of Patients

If assigning the Vivo 3 to a new patient, first clean and prepare the Vivo 3 as described
in this section.
If a humidifier is used, it is classified as single patient use.
NOTE
If the Vivo 3 is used in a clinic, with frequent change of patients, a low resistance bac-
teria filter is located between the air outlet and the patient circuit to prevent patient
cross contamination.
1 Clean the outside of the Vivo 3 according to 8.1.1 Clean the Main Unit Externally,
page 109.
2 If a low resistance bacteria filter has been used between the patient air outlet and the
patient circuit: Replace the filter.
If a low resistance bacteria filter not has been used, the airways of the Vivo 3 may
need disinfection to prevent patient cross contamination. See 8.1.2 Air Pathway Dis-
infection, page 110.
3 Replace the patient air inlet filters according to 8.2 Clean and Replace Patient Air Inlet
Filters, page 110.
