Display Back Panel & VentilatorFan Filters- weekly cleaning Exhalation Valve & Flow Sensor: After every case wash and soak parts in warm water and mild detergent for a minimum 15 minutes, then rinse in cold water followed by hot water, Dry in room air allowing cavities to drain. If required you can sterilize the expiratory valve and flow sensor by steam autoclaving (134 degrees C) or EO. Check for cracks and damage and replace if any defects are visible Please ensure that expiratory valve and flow sensor are dry when replaced Ensure that the water trap O-Ring is present while re-assembling expiratory flow sensor

Nebulizer Cleaning and Disinfection: Immediately after use with medication , run a cycle with only sterile water. Cleaning and Disinfecting between patients:Separate the Nebulizer and the cable, remove nebulae unit from the TAdapter, remove filler cap from the nebulae, empty any excess liquid, rinse the parts with sterile water, allow the parts of air dry The nebulae parts can be disinfected by CIDEX, NU-CIDEX or CIDEX-OPA The nebulae parts can also be sterilized by steam autoclaving (134 degrees C)
Power On Self Tests, the Patient Setup menu will be displayed Select the Patient Type - Adult or Pediatric or neonatal (default ventilation settings vary dependent upon patient population. Ensure neonatal flow sensor is connected if neonatal patient type is selected Enter Patient Weight (allows the ventilator to make initial ventilation parameter suggestions)
Begin ventilation by selecting Start Ventilator in the Patient Setup menu or by turning Standby mode to OFF in the Vent Setup menu (default ventilation settings used)
Connect the patient circuit to the patient airway
Engstrom Ventilator-Don'ts Please do not try to disinfect/sterilize the expiratory valve and flow
sensor with CIDEX, NU-CIDEX or CIDEX-OPA Do not autoclave or submerge the nebuliser cable
Do not select the Neonatal patient type without connecting the neonatal flow sensor
Do not forget to check whether the P-limit is set appropriately in volume based modes of ventilation like VCV and SIMV-VC Do not use compressed air or water jet to clean the expiratory flow sensor Do not forget to set the back up ventilation mode and parameters for each patient.
