To clean the plastic housing of the device wear disposable latex gloves and clean with denaturated alcohol or hypoclorite
solutions. 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 contaminating
substances;
•
Disconnect the jar from the device
•
Disconnect all tubes from the jar and the protection filter
•
Empty and dispose of the Jar according to the laws in force in your country;
•
Separate all parts of the cover (overflow valve, o-ring);
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) 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 10079-2). 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.
Assemble the jar as follows:
•
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 aspiration tubes can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 120°C. The conical connector can be sterilized
on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C. The device is ready for a new employment now.
