DEVICE USEFUL LIFE
Ultrasound thermo-disinfector service life is of 10 years (average use: 5 cycles/day, for 220
days/year), in compliance with the routine maintenance prescriptions set forth in the use and
maintenance manual.
This lapse of time, which is obviously not linked to an intrinsic "expiry date" of the product, is
established based on the data inferred by the following evaluations:
- Average replacement ratio of the device by the user (turn-over);
- Device technological progress (availability of new technologies, publication of updated
standards, launch of competitor's product defining a new "state of the art").
DISPOSING THE
