• Wear protective gloves and an apron (glasses and a 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 every 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 the VACUUM connector)
• Insert the 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 sure that the covers seal perfectly to avoid vacuum leakages or liquid exit

After disposing of disposable parts and disassembling the jar wash in running cold water and rinse thoroughly. Then soak in warm water (temperature shall not exceed 60°C). Wash thoroughly 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 upside down 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 the environment temperature of the parts make sure that these are not damaged.

The aspiration tubes can be sterilized on an autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min). The conical connector can be sterilized on an autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).

Where P is the maximum nominal output voltage of the transmitter in Watt (W) depending on the manufacturer of the transmitter and the recommended separation distance in meters (m). The intensity of the field from the fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic study of the site), could be lower than the level of conformity of each frequency interval b). It is possible to check for interference in proximity to devices identified by the following symbol:

---|---|---|---

Note 1 : At 80 MHz and 800 MHz the interval with the highest frequency is applied
Note 2 : These guidelines may not be applicable in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is influenced by the absorption and reflection of buildings, objects, and people.

The field intensity for fixed transmitters such as the base stations for radiotelephones (mobile and cordless) and terrestrial mobile radio, amateur radio devices, radio AM and FM transmitters, and TV transmitters can not be theoretically and accurately foreseen. To establish an electromagnetic environment generated by fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic study of the site should be considered. If the field intensity measured in the place where the device will be used surpasses the above-mentioned applicable level of conformity, the normal functioning of the device should be monitored. If abnormal performance arises, additional measures such as changing the device’s direction or positioning may be necessary.

The field intensity on an interval frequency of 150 kHz to 80 MHz should be less than 10 V/m.

Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile radio- communication devices and the monitor
The NEW ASKIR 230/12V BR surgical aspirator is intended to operate in an electromagnetic environment where RF irradiated interferences are under control. The client or operator of the NEW ASKIR 230/12V BR device can help prevent electromagnetic interference by keeping a minimum distance between the portable and mobile RF communication devices (transmitters) and the NEW ASKIR 230/12V BR device, as recommended below, about the radio-communication maximum output power.

The maximum nominal output power of the Transmitter W| Separation distance from the frequency transmitter (m)
