The Germlyser
®
A is a -marked, point-of-use, sterile tap filter for use in high-risk areas in medical facilities
to prevent bacterial nosocomial infectious diseases caused by
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella
pneumophila, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
or
Staphylococcus aureus
among immunosuppressed
and immunocompromised patients.
To achieve this intended use, a specific combination of retention of
these bacteria in the filter membrane structure and specific measurements to prevent retrogarde
contamination with these bacteria on the filter outlet, are necessary.

7 Maintenance and cleaning
The Germlyser
®
A requires no maintenance within the specified operating time. The outside of the filter can
be treated by common surface disinfectants.
When replacing the Germlyser
®
A, a small amount of unfiltered water will flow out. Over time, this will lead
to deposits on and in the adapters. Aqua
free
recommends replacement of the adapters after a service life
of 6 to 12 month.
In the case of a deviation from the specifications or a damage to the packaging, the product should be
returned to Aqua
free
, along with a Defect Report (form available to download on the service page of the
Aqua free website www.aqua-free.com).
Please note

free
operates its own replacement service, which can be used by facilities with 25, or
more, filter points of use.
