in running warm water and dry all parts with a soft cloth (non-abrasive).
The jar and the cover can be autoclaved by placing the parts into the autoclave and running one sterilization stem cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure)
making sure that the jar is positioned upsidedown. Mechanical resistance of the jar is guaranteed up to 30 cycles of sterilization and cleaning at the
indicated conditions (EN ISO 10079-1). Beyond this limit the physical-mechanical characteristics of the plastic may decrease and replacement of the part is
therefore recommended.
After sterilization and cooling at environment temperature of the parts make sure that these are not damaged.
Assemble the jar as follows:
•
Place the overflow valve into its seat in the cover (under VACUUM connector)
•
Insert floating valve keeping the o-ring towards the opening of the cage
•
Place the o-ring into its seat around the cover
•
After completing assembling operations always make sue that cover seals perfectly to avoid vacuum leackages or liquid exit
The aspiration tubes can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 120°C.
The conical connector can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C.
The device is ready for a new employment now.
