REPROCESSING AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Discard all contaminated parts after any suctioning procedure. These components may include
the collection canister, disposable chest drainage unit, in-line filter, exhaust filter, and all suc-
tion tubing.
2.
Wipe the surface of the unit clean with a mild antiseptic and a clean soft cloth.
3.
Place a new collection canister, suction tubing, and filters with the Moblvac
®
III-cs.
4.
Check the air inlet filter at the back of the unit to see that it is clear of any dirt. If cleaning is
necessary simply “pop off” the filter cover so the filter can be vacuumed or, if the dirt is exces-
sive, washed in a mild antiseptic and thoroughly rinsed in water. After the filter is completely
dried, reinstall the filter and snap the cover back into place.
5.
Inspect the overflow trap assembly for any evidence of an accidental overflow. If an overflow
has occurred, use the following guidelines.
