CLEANING OF ACCESSORIES

Before using the device, the manufacturer advises you to clean and/or sterilize the accessories. Washing and/or cleaning the autoclavable jar is to be carried out as follows:

  • Wear protective 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.
  • Empty and dispose of the contents of the suction vessel (also comply with regional regulations);
  • 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).
  • Dispose of the aspiration catheter according to the provisions of local laws and regulations.

The jug and lid can be further disinfected using a common disinfectant, strictly following the instructions and dilution values provided by the manufacturer. At the end of cleaning operations, leave to air dry in a clean environment.

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 sure that the cover seals perfectly to avoid vacuum leakages 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 an environmental 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

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

• The device must be checked before each use in order to identify any operating faults and/or damage due to transport and/or storage.
· The work surface must be flat and stable in order that the control panel can be reached and so that the vacuum gauge, vase and antibacterial filter are clearly visible.
· It is recommended not to hold the device in your hand and/or avoid prolonged contact with the body of the device.
WARNING: For correct use, position the suction unit on a flat and stable surface, thus maximizing the available volume of the vase and improving the efficiency of the overflow device.

Operation with AC/DC power pack:

  • Connect the short silicone tube with the antibacterial filter to the suction port. The other tube, connected to the filter on one end, must be connected to the spout on the vase lid with the float assembled inside (overflow device). The overflow device is triggered (the float closes off the internal lid fitting) when the maximum volume (90% of the effective vase volume) is reached, thus preventing the liquid from penetrating the inside of the machine. The device must be used on a flat, horizontal surface.

  • Connect the long silicone tube to the free spout on the lid; the free end of the tube must be connected to the conical fitting for the probe coupling, to which the suction probe must then be connected.

  • Connect the universal power pack to the device using the dedicated connector and insert the power cord plug into the socket. To start the treatment, press the switch into position I to turn the device on

  • Set the desired vacuum level (Bar / kPa) through the vacuum regulator. Turn the knob in a clockwise direction to increase the vacuum level: these values can be read on the “vacuum
    gauge”.

  • To suspend and/or end the treatment, press the switch again and pull the plug out of the socket

  • To mitigate the formation of foam inside the vase, unscrew and remove the lid from the vase, and fill the latter with 1/3 water (to facilitate cleaning operations and speed up depressurization during operation), then screw the lid back onto the vase.

  • Remove the accessories and proceed with cleaning operations.

  • At the end of each use place the device back in the box, protected against dust

WARNING : The power cord plug is the element of separation from the electrical mains, even if the device is equipped with an on/off button. Once the device is in use, the power plug must remain accessible to allow another method of disconnection from the electrical mains.
