Reprocessing
3.1 Safety information
WARNING
Risk due to inappropriately reprocessed products
Reusable products must be reprocessed, otherwise there is an increased
risk of infection.
– Follow the infection prevention policies and reprocessing regulations of
the health-care facility.
– Follow the national infection prevention policies and reprocessing
regulations.
– Use validated procedures for reprocessing.
– Reprocess reusable products after every use.
– Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning agents, disinfectants,
and reprocessing devices.
WARNING
Risk of infection
If no breathing system filters are fitted to the Y-piece or the expiratory port,
the breathing system will become contaminated or the patient infected by
pathogens from the breathing system.
– Reprocess the breathing system before initial operation.
– Reprocess the breathing system after every change of patient.
– To prevent future contamination, use breathing system filters close to the
patient. Observe the instructions on configuring the breathing circuit and
filters, (refer to the table with recommended hose configurations in the
chapter "Assembly and preparation" in the instructions for use).
WARNING
Risk due to faulty products
Signs of wear, e.g., cracks, deformation, discoloration, or peeling, may
occur with reprocessed products.
Check the products for signs of wear and replace them if necessary.
CAUTION
Risk of flow measurement failure
Improper reprocessing and soiling, such as residues or particles, can damage the
flow sensor:
– Clean and disinfect the flow sensor in accordance with the corresponding
instructions for use.
– No machine cleaning or disinfection
– No plasma sterilization or radiation sterilization
– No water jets, compressed air, brushes or the like
– No ultrasonic bath
– No hot-steam sterilization with Spirolog and Infinity ID flow sensors
– For disinfecting the flow sensor, use only clean disinfectant solutions.

3.2 Information on reprocessing
Follow the national infection prevention policies and reprocessing regulations.
Follow the infection prevention policies and reprocessing regulations of the health-
care facility (e.g., concerning the reprocessing cycles).
3.3 Classifications for reprocessing
3.3.1 Classification of medical devices
The classification depends on the intended use of the medical device. The risk of
infection transmission through the application of the product to the patient without
proper reprocessing is the basis of the Spaulding classification.
WARNING
Risk of infection
Sample lines are contaminated as a result of the breathing gas passing
through.
Replace the sample lines in accordance with the corresponding instructions
for use.
CAUTION
Risk of injury to patients due to failure of accessories
Disposable products, such as the sample line and water trap were designed,
tested, and manufactured for single use only. Reuse, reprocessing, or sterilization
can lead to the failure of accessories, incorrect measurements and injuries to the
patient.
– Do not reuse disposable products.
– Do not reprocess disposable products.
– Do not use any disinfectants.
– Do not reprocess with elevated pressure from syringes or compressed air.
Classification Explanation
Non-critical Components that come only into contact with skin that is
intact
Semi-critical Components that carry breathing gas or come into contact
with mucous membranes or pathologically altered skin
Critical Components that penetrate skin or mucous membranes or
come into contact with blood

– Housing (upper part and lower part)
–Ports
– APL valve
– Inspiratory valve (red) and expiratory valve (blue)
– Absorber container and absorber insert
– TurboVent 2 blower module
– Flexible breathing bag arm (option)
– CLIC adapter (option)
Critical

3.4 Before reprocessing
Observe before disassembly
1. Switch off the device and all devices connected to it.
2. Disconnect all power plugs.
3.4.1 Patient-specific accessories and consumables
The patient-specific accessories and consumables must be removed from the
device and, if necessary, disassembled.
Reusable products:
●If the reusable product has its own instructions for use, perform reprocessing in
accordance with the separate instructions for use. Further information can be
found in the list of accessories.
●If no separate instructions for use are available for the reusable product, perform
reprocessing in accordance with the instructions in this supplement (see
"Reprocessing procedures", page 32).
Disposable products:
●Dispose of the disposable products.

WARNING
Risk of infection
Used sample lines and water traps may be infectious due to the breathing
gases passed through them.
– To prevent infectious fluids from spurting out from the water trap, first
remove the sample line from the water trap.
– Leave the water trap fitted for the moment and only remove it after the
surface disinfection.
