CARE AND MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURE
Carry out hygienic preparation of the unit and accessories as described on page 16. We
recommend using a 0.5% TERRALIN solution for wipe disinfection. Follow the instructions
enclosed with the disinfectant.
WARNING!
• Take special care that no liquids enter the unit, as this may cause damage.
• You should under no circumstances use a cleaning agent. Cleaning agents containing alcohol or
grease pose a fire risk in combination with compressed oxygen.
• Pay special attention to the oxygen inlet and outlet to make sure they remain free of dust, etc. If
the oxygen inlet connection becomes contaminated with dirt, oil, or grease, DO NOT USE OR
ATTEMPT TO CLEAN. Contact your supplier for service or repair.
CAUTION!
• The carrying bag must never be washed in a washing machine, spin-dried or dried in a laundry
drier.

NOTE:
• You are advised to use suitable gloves (e.g. household or disposable gloves) for disinfection
work.
• When cleaning your carrying bag, be careful not to scrub the plastic window and do not
roughen the seams. Repeat cleaning, if necessary. Hang the bag in a well-ventilated area and
allow to air dry. Do not hang in direct sunlight, as this may cause its external fabric to fade.
PATIENT CHANGE
Carry out a wipe disinfection on the unit’s surfaces before you hand the unit over to a new patient.
