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 10000-12000 hours of operation (or 3 years) in accordance with the
standard conditions of testing and operation. Shelf life: maximum 5 years from the date of manufacture.
CLEANING ACCESSORIES AND INTERNAL PARTS
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 contaminat-
ing 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
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 and assemble the container for the aspirated
liquids. 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
