CLEANING
MR850 Heaterbase Using a damp cloth, clean the humidifier with either of the following: Isopropyl Alcohol, normal dishwashing detergent. Temperature
Probe Always clean before use. Probes can be cleaned with one of the following solutions: Sporicidin
TM
, Cidex
TM
OPA, Sporox
TM
OR sterilize the probe using Ethylene Oxide
sterilization at 55 °C (131 °F), 80 kPa, (allow at least 15 hours for residual ETO to disperse before use). Wipe the airway temperature probes clear of any cleaning residues 
before use. Store probes in clean conditions. DO NOT autoclave probes.
CAUTION: DO NOT immerse the heaterbase or temperature probe electrical connections in any liquid. 
NOTE:Follow the cleaning agent manufacturers’ instructions carefully. It is the user’s responsibility to qualify any deviations from these procedures, both for disinfecting 
efficacy and physical effect on the probe and the heaterbase. See the MR850 technical manual for more detailed instructions on cleaning. 
WARNING
Ensure that invasive mode is set for patients 
that have bypassed airways. 
The use of breathing circuits, chambers or 
other accessories which are not approved 
by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare may impair 
performance or compromise safety. 
Ensure that both temperature probe sensors 
are correctly and securely fitted. Failure to 
do so may result in temperatures in excess 
of 41 °C being delivered to the patient. 
Ensure maintenance of grounding integrity 
by connection to a 'hospital grade' 
receptacle. Always disconnect supply before 
servicing. 
When mounting a humidifier adjacent to a 
patient ensure that the humidifier is always 
positioned lower than the patient. 
The operation of high frequency surgical 
apparatus, shortwave or microwave 
equipment in the vicinity of the humidifier 
may adversely affect its function. If this 
occurs, the humidifier should be removed 
from the vicinity of such devices.
Do not touch the glass tip of the chamber 
temperature probe during use. Keep black 
connectors dry at all times. 
Visually inspect accessories for 
damage before use.
