Disconnect HME (heat and moisture exchanger) and flex tube
Bacterial filter is held within the HME.
Use both hands to gently pull and/or twist the flex tube and HME away from one another until fully disconnected.
The HME should still be connected to the overall circuit setup.
In reassembly, a new HME with a non-contaminated bacterial filter will be reconnected to the flex tube for this step.

Disconnect HME and circuit setup
Use both hands to gently pull and/or twist the flow sensor and HME away from one another until fully disconnected.
The HME (with used/contaminated bacterial filter) should now be completely disconnected from all parts.
In reassembly, a new HME with a non-contaminated bacterial filter will be reconnected to the flow sensor for this step.
