Hygiene preparation
(1) If disinfecting by wiping is required: ensure that no liquids pe-
netrate the connections. Cleaning agents containing alcohol
or moisturizers form a flammable mixture in combination
with compressed oxygen and may lead to explosions.
(2) To disinfect the pressure gauge tube of the ventilation hose,
proceed as follows:
1. Connect one end of the pressure gauge tube to
a sterile disposable 20-ml syringe.
2. Immerse the other end in the dilute disinfectant
solution (for gigasept
15 minutes).
3. Draw the disinfectant solution through the pres-
sure gauge tube into the syringe until the latter
is full. Do not flush through the pressure gauge
tube in the opposite direction!
4. Detach the syringe from the pressure gauge
tube and empty it out completely.
5. Repeat this process another 5 times.
6. After disinfection, the pressure gauge tube must
be rinsed with distilled water at least 8 times us-
ing the same principle.
You can support the subsequent drying process
with medical compressed air or medical oxygen.
Then allow the components to dry thoroughly. If any
water is left in the patient valve or the pressure
gauge tube of the ventilation hose, the unit may not
function correctly.
