8 Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization
The following points in particular are important with regard to caring for the material:
● Perform cleaning, disinfection and sterilization after every treatment!
● Always autoclave the material in sterilization packaging.
● Make sure that sterilization packaging is no more than 80 % full.
● Always autoclave the material at max. 135°C for at least 5 minutes.
● If sterilized material is not used immediately, the material packaging must be labeled with the
sterilization date.
● Nouvag AG recommends including a sterility indicator.
8.1 Control unit and pneumatic pedal
Control unit and pneumatic pedal do not come into contact with the patient.
Wipe the outside using micro-biologically tested surface disinfectant or a 70 % isopropyl solution. The front
plate of the control unit is sealed for this purpose and can be wiped clean.
8.2 Secretion jar and jar lid
The reprocessing instructions for the secretion jar and jar lid is provided in the operating instructions deliv-
ered with the secretion jar.
8.3 Bacteria filter
The bacteria filter located on top of the Vacuson pump is a one way product and cannot be cleaned or steri-
lized.
A periodical replacement of the bacteria filter is recommended after 8 hours of use, but definitely after it
came into contact with foam or infectious material.
After contact with watery solutions the bacteria filter locks down, because of its hydrophobic characteris-
tic, to protect the pump from cloaking. Hence the further operation of the pump is not possible. The bacte-
ria filter has to be replaced.
8.4 Silicone tubes
Ref. 4075, connection tube 8 x 3 x 400 mm from bacteria filter to secretion jar, silicone, sterilizable
Ref. 4076, filling tube 8 x 3 x 1700 mm, from secretion jar to suction cannula, silicone, sterilizable
Reprocessing Frequent reprocessing of the silicon tubes has only a limited impact. The end of the product service
restrictions life is normally determined by wear and damage through use.
