Cleaning and disinfecting

General notes

Clean and disinfect the facepiece after every use.

WARNING

Danger of poisoning!

Residues of skin care products can reduce the elasticity in the sealing area and cause the facepiece to no longer sit correctly.

• Thoroughly clean the mask body so that no residue of any skin care product remains on the mask body

NOTICE

Risk of damaging the material!

For cleaning and disinfecting, do not use any solvents (e.g. acetone or alcohol) or cleaning agents with scouring particles.

• Only follow the specified procedure and use the specified cleaning and disinfecting agents. Other agents, dosages and application times may cause damage to the product.

For information on suitable cleaning agents and disinfectants and their specifications, see document 9100081 at www.draeger.com/IFU.

Cleaning and disinfecting the facepiece

2. Prepare a cleaning solution consisting of water and a cleaning agent.
3. Clean all parts using a soft cloth with cleaning solution.
4. Thoroughly rinse all parts under running water.

Leak test

General notes

Carry out the leak test with a suitable test unit (e.g. from the Testor or Quaestor series).

Moistening the face seal facilitates exact donning, since the mask can slide onto the test head more easily

Checking for leaks

1. Moisten the face seal with water.
2. Moisten the exhalation valve with water.
3. Mount the facepiece on the test head.
4. Make sure that the face seal fits tightly onto all parts of the test head. If necessary, inflate the test head.
5. Seal the front port (X-plore 6000 series) or bayonet-type connector (X-plore 5500) with the adapter and produce anegative pressure of 10 mbar.
   The facepiece is considered leak-tight if the pressure drop is less than 1 mbar/min. If the facepiece is leaking, consult the following chapter (see “Test with sealed exhalation valve”, page 9).

Test with sealed exhalation valve

1. Remove the exhalation valve disc.
2. Insert the exhalation valve test plug.
3. Produce a negative pressure of 10 mbar.
4. If the pressure drop is less than 1 mbar/min, remove the exhalation valve test plug and insert a new valve disc.
5. Repeat the leak test (see “Checking for leaks”, page 9).

After testing

1. Disconnect the adapter.
2. Remove the facepiece from the test head and dry it if necessary.
3. Put on the exhalation valve cover. The protective cap must lock into place.
