Replacing the Water
Trap Reservoir
3-2
The disposable water trap reservoir is held by a bracket mounted next to
the patient interface panel on the left side of the Vitalert 3000 Series
monitor. It is designed to collect excess water accumulation in the sample
flow.
To replace a reservoir that is filled to capacity:
1. Detach the full reservoir's flexible hose fitting at the sample line
connection by twisting the Luer-lock fitting counterclockwise.
2. To gain access to the reservoir, temporarily remove the air filter by
turning it counterclockwise and pulling it from its mounting.
3. Grasp the full reservoir at the base and gently pull away from the
mounting bracket, allowing the rubber port seals on top of the reservoir
to disengage from the gas flow ports of the mounting bracket. Dispose
of the full reservoir properly.
4. Insert the new reservoir by guiding its rubber port seals into the
mounting bracket's gas flow ports; gently push at the reservoir's base
until it rests flat against the mounting bracket.
5. Connect the new reservoir's flexible hose fitting to the male Luer-lock
fitting on the sample line; twist clockwise until secure.
6. Reattach the air filter to the fitting alongside the reservoir. Turn the
filter clockwise until secure.
