Maintenance
Replace reusable filters after a maximum of one year of service or
100 autoclave cycles, whichever comes first. When you put a reusable
filter into service, write the anticipated replacement date on the
filter and keep of record of the number of autoclave cycles to which
the filter has been subjected. Discard disposable filters between
patients.
A.2.2 Daily or as required: collector vial
At every ventilator breathing circuit change, autoclave or disinfect
the collector vial. The patented design of the collector vial maintains
circuit pressure (minimizes PEEP loss) and prevents condensate from
spraying when you remove the collector vial from the ventilator
breathing circuit.
Empty the collector vial before it fills:
1. Turn the collector vial counterclockwise to release it from the
ventilator breathing circuit.
2. Empty the collector vial, referring to Figure A-1.
3. Replace the empty collector vial: turn clockwise to secure the
vial into place, which reopens its access to the ventilator
breathing circuit.
