Cleaning and disinfection of the suction unit
To clean the surface of the device, use a damp cloth soaked in diluted medical device disinfectant (same as used for the
suction jar). Sometimes the serigraphs on the container can be damaged or made illegible by some types of disinfectant.
Prioritise a small corner of the device before proceeding. When finished, dry the surface with a dry cloth or a paper
towel that does not leave any traces.
CLEANING
OF THE
SURFACE
DEL
DEVICE
Substances entering the
suction hole are sucked in by
the pump and sprayed onto
the electronic parts. For this
reason, it is mandatory to
close the suction hole with a
piece of tape or plaster. At the
end of cleaning this tape or
plaster must be removed.
Availability
of disinfectants
In order to disinfect and decontaminate the suction unit correctly, it is advisable to use specific,
approved products. These disinfectants must be free of abrasive substances. Oscar Boscarol Srl
(Ltd) can supply specific disinfectants suitable for medical equipment, including our suction units.
These disinfectants, available in different formats (soaked wipes, sprays and concentrated
liquids), have been tested and guaranteed in the laboratory to inactivate viruses, bacteria and
microorganisms. When used periodically, they destroy and prevent the formation of dangerous
biofilms (surface layers that easily harbour bacteria, moulds, viruses and micro-organisms). Our
disinfectants are free of chlorine, phenols, aldehydes and halogens.
