Using a drying cabinet
To dry the patient cassette, volume reflector
and associated parts, perform the following:
1. Disconnect the cleaning adapter.
2. Make sure as little water as possible
remains in the patient cassette and
volume reflector before drying.
3. Place the patient cassette, volume
reflector and associated parts in a drying
cabinet for a minimum of 1.5 hours at a
maximum temperature of 90°C (194°F) -
maximum 0.3 bar pressure. If the volume
reflector was manually disinfected and
rinsed, the minimum required time under
these conditions is 2.5 hours.
For extra drying capacity, connect a 22mm air
hose to the expiratory connection of the
patient cassette and to the volume reflector.

Forced ventilation
To dry the patient cassette, volume reflector
and associated parts using forced ventilation,
assemble the system according to section
10.10 and ventilate using a MAQUET test lung
for 15 minutes with a flow rate of at least
10 l/min.
Forced ventilation should not be considered
a stand alone procedure for drying the system
equipment. It acts as a complement to the
drying cabinet only.
