After all components are completely
dry, inspect them for damage before
disinfection or re-assembly and functional
testing.
If disinfecting the components, continue

Use an approved disinfecting agent (see
TABLE on Page 3) for all components while
adhering to facility policies and procedures.
Connect all components to the breathing
system by reassembling all components in
the reverse order. Prior to use after cleaning
or disinfecting, power up the system and
follow the onscreen prompts to perform
the leak test and the compliance test.
