ammonia (15% solution), bleach (10% solution) or commercial,
hospital grade disinfectant, etc. Follow the disinfectant manufacturers
directions for the solution concentration, immersion times, and other
conditions for disinfecting. The use of a laminar air flow hood during
the chemical disinfecting process is recommended.
2. Thoroughly rinse and dry each part.
3. Aseptically reassemble (as required) and store the part until use.

Gas Supply Filter/Water Trap
Wipe the exterior of the O
2
gas supply filter/water trap with a mild solution of
soap and water. Rinse and dry parts. Do not steam-autoclave, chemically
disinfect, or expose to ETO gas. Do not allow liquid to migrate into the inlet
port.
CAUTION: Formaldehyde, phenol-based, and quaternary ammonium compound
(QUATS) disinfectants are not recommended because these agents can
cause cracking and crazing of plastic parts. Exposure of components to
disinfectant concentrations stronger than required or for excessive time
may shorten product life. Parts should be thoroughly rinsed and dried to
prevent spotting and blemishes when exposed to elevated temperatures.
CAUTION: DO NOT allow liquid to penetrate the ventilator rear or front panel. DO
NOT attempt to sterilize the ventilator by exposing to ETO gas. DO NOT
steam-autoclave.
CAUTION: Care should be taken when cleaning the touch display. (Refer to Figure
8-2 on page page 8-3). A soft moist cloth should be used that does not
drip water and/or soap solution when in contact with the display. After
cleaning and rinsing with a damp cloth, remove all moisture with a dry,
soft cloth. Never allow solutions of any kind to collect on the bottom
bezel of the display. Never use a brush or device that can cause
abrasion to clean the touch display or its bezel; they will cause
irreparable damage.
