Health risks due to the handling of infectious or pathogenic germs
Infectious and pathogenic germs in the aspirate cause health risks.
Replace the bacterial filter at least every 2 weeks when used exclusively for one
patient!
Wear suitable disposable gloves in doing so.
The reuse of bacterial filters for multiple patients is prohibited for hygiene and
safety reasons!
For each new patient, processing by ASSKEA GmbH or by an authorized service
partner of ASSKEA GmbH is strictly required!
After each aspiration, all components that have come into contact with the
aspirate must be cleaned, disinfected or disposed of.
The aspirate and the parts contaminated with aspirate must be disposed of
properly.

Switch off the device after the aspiration by holding the on/off button (fig. 11(F)) pressed
for 1-2 seconds.
2.
Disconnect the power supply unit from the mains supply (100V to 240V AC) if attached
and remove the device plug from the aspiration device afterwards.
3.
Remove the suction tube (fig. 1(G)) from the aspiration catheter and from the secretion
canister.
