CLEANING, SANITISATION, DISINFECTION, STERILISATION
Switch off the device before any cleaning procedure and unplug the power cable from the socket.
DEVICE CLEANING
Use only a damp cloth with antibacterial soap (non-abrasive and with no solvents of any sort).
COLLECTION CANISTER AND CONNECTING TUBING
• Detach the aspirator tip (16) (NOT SUPPLIED WITH THE DEVICE), the manual vacuum flow control (15) and the
tubing (14) from the canister (9). Disconnect the tubing (6/8) from both the canister and the filter (7). Remove the
canister from its holder, keeping it upright, and empty it (in the WC at home, in the biological waste container in
the hospital) and clean it, disassembling it as shown below:

SANITISATION
Before and after each use, sanitise the collection canister and the connecting tubing choosing one of the methods
described below.
(method A): rinse each part (6, 8, 9, 10, 10a, 11, 11a, 14) with hot potable water (approximately 40°C) with gentle
washing up liquid (non-abrasive) or in the dishwasher on a hot cycle.
(method B): soak each part (6, 8, 9, 10, 10a, 11, 11a, 14) in a solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar. Finally,
rinse with plenty of hot potable water (approximately 40°C).
(method C): boil each of the parts (6, 8, 9, 10, 10a, 11, 11a, 14) in water for 10 minutes; it is preferable to use de-min-
eralised or distilled water to prevent calcium deposits.
After having sanitised the accessories, shake them vigorously and place them on a paper towel. Alternatively, dry
them with a jet of hot air (for example, a hair dryer).
DISINFECTION
The accessories which can be disinfected are (6, 8, 9, 10, 10a, 11, 11a, 14)
The disinfection procedure described in this paragraph is to be followed before using the accessories. It is effective on
the parts that undergo this treatment only if each step is followed and only if the parts to be treated have previously
been sanitised.
The disinfectant must be an electrolytic chloroxidizer (active principle: sodium hypochlorite) specific for disinfecting,
which is available in any pharmacy.
Procedure:
- Fill a container big enough to hold all of the parts to disinfect with a solution of potable water and disinfectant,
according to the proportions indicated on the packaging of the disinfectant.
- Completely immerse each part in the solution, taking care to avoid the formation of air bubbles on the parts. Leave
the parts immersed for the amount of time indicated on the packaging of the disinfectant associated with the
concentration chosen for the solution.
- Remove the disinfected parts and rinse abundantly with warm potable water.
- After having disinfected the accessories, shake them vigorously and place them on a paper towel. Alternatively, dry
them with a jet of hot air (for example, a hair dryer).
- Dispose of the solution following the instructions provided by the disinfectant manufacturer.
STERILISATION
The accessories that can be sterilised are (6, 8, 9, 10, 10a, 11, 11a, 14)
The sterilisation procedure described in this paragraph is effective on the parts that undergo this treatment only if
every step is followed and only if the parts to be treated have previously been sanitised. The procedure is validated in
