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
