Cleaning accessories

With the use of a filter MicroGard® IIC (V-892384) or a One-way
Safety mouthpiece (36-SST12250) for each patient, cleaning for the
components in patient's gas path is recommended once a month.
When using the disposable cardboard mouthpiece (adult: 36-
PSA1000, paediatric: 36-PSA1200) without a filter and under the
prerequisite that the patient was instructed only to exhale into the
transducer, the following parts have to be cleaned once a day:
adult/paediatric adapter, transducer.
With any other use as described above all contaminated parts must
be disinfected between patients.
Important note: Used single patient nose clip pads, mouthpieces
and MicroGard® IIC filter must be disposed off after the use
If there are changes on the material surfaces (cracks, brittleness)
the respective parts must be disposed off.

Cleaning the Transducer

The transducer requires no routine maintenance or servicing.
However, if you wish to disinfect or clean the transducer it may be
removed by means of the following procedure:
1. Rotating the turbine transducer anti-clockwise until the locating
pip lines up with the small rectangular cut-out in the housing as
shown below.
2. Gently pull the transducer away from the housing.
3. The transducer may now be immersed in warm soapy water for
routine cleaning or immersed in cold disinfecting solutions e.g.
Perasafe (Cat No. 36-SSC5000A) for a maximum of 10 minutes
(Alcohol and chloride solutions should be avoided).
