systems only.

3.3
Cleaning and disinfection
The unit can be wiped with a moist (not wet) cloth.
Basically, all parts which come into contact with secretion
must be cleaned and disinfected or sterilized after each
suction procedure. Hospital staff may determine other
cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing agents and cycles.
Silicone hoses and collection jar parts (jar and lid) are
autoclave-safe
(20 minutes at max. 121°C). These parts
may also be immersed in commercial disinfectants. The
hose adaptor (green) may only be cleaned with warm
water (up to 50°C).
If, contrary to expectations, the overflow safety does not
react and fluid penetrates the intermediate hose and the
bacterial filter, then the complete hose set (hose set S6
or S10, see consumables) must be replaced.
CAUTION!
Always comply on principle with the relevant
manufacturer’s information regarding ingredients,
concentrations and application of disinfectants!
The respective notes for use indicated by the
manufacturers must absolutely be observed!
