WARNING: Suction tubes for insertion in the human body purchased separately from the machine should comply with ISO
10993-1 standards on material biocompatibility.
Aspiration jar: The mechanical resistance of the component is guaranteed up to 30 cycles of cleaning and sterilization.
Beyond this limit, the physical-chemical characteristics of the plastic material may show signs of decay. Therefore, we recommend
that you to change it.
Silicone tubes: the number of cycles of sterilization and/or cleaning is strictly linked to the employment of the said tube.
Therefore, after each cleaning cycle, it is up to the final user to verify whether the tube is suitable for reuse. The component must
be replaced if there are visible signs of decay of the material constituting the said component.
Conical fitting: the number of cycles of sterilization and the number of cleaning cycles is strictly linked to the employment of the
said component. Therefore, after each cleaning cycle, it is up to the final user to verify whether the fitting is suitable for reuse.
The component must be replaced if there are visible signs of decay in the material constituting the said component.
Service life of the device: More than 30000 hours of operation in accordance with the standard conditions of testing and operation.
Shelf life: maximum 5 years from the date of manufactured.
Before using the device, the manufacturer advises you to clean and/or sterilize the accessories.
Washing and / or cleaning the autoclavable jar as to be carried out as follows:
Wear protection gloves and apron (glasses and face mask if necessary) to avoid contact with contaminating
substances;
Disconnect the tank from the device and remove the said container from the support of the device.
Separate all the parts of the cover (overflow device, washer).
Disconnect all tubes from the jar and the protection filter
Wash each part of the container from secretions under cold running water and then clean every single part in hot
water (temperature not exceeding 60°C)
Once again, carefully wash each single part using, if necessary, a non-abrasive brush to remove any deposits.
Rinse with hot running water and dry all parts with a soft cloth (non-abrasive). It is possible to wash with commercial
disinfectants by carefully following the instructions and dilution values supplied by the manufacturer.
After cleaning, leave the parts to dry in an open, clean environment.
Dispose of the aspiration catheter according to that provided by local laws and regulations.
The silicone aspiration tubes and the conical fitting may be carefully washed in hot water (temperature must not exceed
60°C). After cleaning, leave the parts to dry in an open, clean environment.
When cleaning is complete, reassemble the container for liquid aspirations according to the following procedure:
Place the overflow valve into its seat in the cover (under VACUUM connector)
Insert floating valve keeping the o-ring towards the opening of the cage
Place the o-ring into its seat around the cover
After completing assembling operations always make sue that cover seals perfectly to avoid vacuum leackages or
liquid exit
After disposing of disposable parts and disassembling the jar wash in running cold water and rinse thouroughly.
Then soak in warm water (temperature shall not exceed 60°C). Wash thouroughly and if necessary use a non-abrasive brush to
remove incrustations. Rinse in running warm water and dry all parts with a soft cloth (non-abrasive).
The jar and the cover can be autoclaved by placing the parts into the autoclave and running one sterilization stem cycle at 121°C
(1 bar relative pressure – 15 min) making sure that the jar is positioned upsidedown. Mechanical resistance of the jar is
guaranteed up to 30 cycles of sterilization and cleaning at the indicated conditions (EN ISO 10079-1). Beyond this limit the
physical-mechanical characteristics of the plastic may decrease and replacement of the part is therefore recommended.
After sterilization and cooling at environment temperature of the parts make sure that these are not damaged.
The aspiration tubes can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).
The conical connector can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).
DO NOT WASH, STERILIZE OR PUT IN AUTOCLAVE THE ANTIBACTERIAL FILTER
