7 Maintenance and cleaning
The Germlyser
®
AM requires no maintenance within the specified operating time. The outside of the filter
can be cleaned using common surface disinfectants.
When replacing the Germlyser
®
AM, 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 period
of use every 6 to 12 months.
In the case of a deviation from the specifications or a damage of the package, the product should be
returned to Aqua free, along with the Defect Report form delivered with the product (form downloads at the
service page under www.aqua-free.com).

1.1 Product description
The Germlyser
®
AM is a -marked, point-of-use, sterile tap filter for use as a mobile shower in ICU
wards to prevent bacterial nosocomial infectious diseases caused by P
seudomonas 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.
