Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization
The operator is responsible for carrying out the ordinary maintenance as foreseen in this
chapter.
Cleaning, disinfecting, sterilizing and replacement of parts must be carried out as
indicated in this manual in order to avoid damage to the ventilator which could also
endanger patient and operator safety.

as the screen or knobs, with liquids or compressed air.
▪
To avoid exposing the patient to sterilizing substances, these parts
must be sterilized as described below. Remember that exposure to
sterilizing substances can reduce the working life of some components.
▪
Always use filters to protect circuits and ventilator: if foreseen, handle
the filters with care to reduce the risks of bacterial contamination or
material damage to a minimum.

Always respect the hospital procedures regarding the control of
infections.

The ventilator does not require particular maintenance and preventive
operations other than those indicated in this manual or in order to
respect standards applied in the specific country where the ventilator is

disinfection and sterilization procedures, nor for the other procedures
carried out while the patient is being treated.
