After disposing of disposable parts and disassembling the jar wash in running cold water and rinse thouroughly.
Then soak in warm water (temperature shall not exceed 60°C). Wash thouroughly and if necessary use a non-abrasive brush to
remove incrustations. Rinse 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 – 15 min) 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.
The aspiration tubes can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).
The conical connector can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).
DO NOT WASH, STERILIZE OR PUT IN AUTOCLAVE THE ANTIBACTERIAL FILTER
Instruction for disposal Liner Flovac®:
If the device is equipped with disposable collection systems FLOVAC ® carry out the disposal of the bag as follows:
Turn off the Vacuum and remove all the tubes connected to the Liner, giving particular attention to avoid accidental contamination.
Fit the appropriate plugs to the "PATIENT" and "TANDEM" ports, pressing the home firmly, taking care to avoid accidental
contamination. Remove the liner bag from the rigid container and transfer it to the waste disposal area, ensuring that all the
openings are sealed, keeping in mind the product is potentially infectious. This product must be disposed of in accordance with the
current hospital regulations.
The CLINIC PLUS SUCTION ASPIRATOR does not need maintenance or lubrication.
It is, however, necessary to inspect the unit before each use. With regard to training, given the information contained in the user
manual and since it is easy to understand the said device, it doesn't appear to be necessary.
The device must be checked before each use in order to detect malfunctions and / or damage caused by transport and / or storage.
Always check the integrity of the footswitch power cord. Connect cable to electrical network and turn switch on.
Close the aspiration outlet with your finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum position check that the vacuum
indicators reaches -90 kPa (-0.90 bar) maximum. Rotate the knob from right to left and check the aspiration regulating control.
The vacuum indicator should go down -40 kPa (-0.40 bar). Verify that loud noises are not present, these can indicate wrong
functioning. A protection fuses (F 1 x 4A L 250V) reachable from exterior and situated in the plug protects the instrument.
For fuses replacing, always the type and the range. Before changing the fuse, disconnect the plug from the power supply socket.
Internally, the device (only for devices fitted with a circuit board) is protected by a fuse (F 500mA L 250V) that cannot be reached
from the outside, so please contact a technician authorised by the manufacturer for its replacement.
