NOUVAG AG
Please pay attention to the following important points for the maintenance of the material:
•
Do not use dissolving agents for cleaning, in particular agents with ingredients
as Methylene chloride and Trichloroethane!
•
Autoclave material in transparent packaging!
•
Autoclave at maximum 134C!
•
Sterilized material should be stored and tagged with sterilizing date!

6.1 Control unit and foot control

The control unit and the pedal do not come into contact with patients. Only clean the surface of the unit,
do not use harsh cleaners or solvents for cleaning. Use 80% ethyl alcohol or microbiologically effective
disinfectants.
The Control Unit should be wiped with a clean, damp cloth only. No spray cleaners
or disinfecting agents should be employed, as the Control Unit face is not
watertight!

6.2 Secretion Jars with bottle lids.

•
Only use desinfectants and cleaning agents that are appropriate for polysulphone
(no aldehydes, kethones and phenoles).
•
Follow the instructions of the producer of the cleaning and disinfection agents
concerning the dilution and duration of use, particularly when using automatic
cleaning and disinfection devices.
After every use, Secretion Jars with bottle lids are to be emptied, rinsed and disinfected before
autoclaving at maximum 134C.
After Autoclaving, allow Micro-motor to dry in the sterilization bag for one hour with the paper side up at
room temperature.

6.3 Bacterial Filter

The Bacteria-filter between the Secretion Jar and Control Unit Pump is a one-way device and Cannot
be cleaned. It should be replaced periodically every ~50h, or immediately should foam or bacterial
substance appear.
In order to protect the pump, the Bacterial filter closes when it comes in contact with
liquid. So further suction procedure is not possible when the Bacterial filter is
saturated.

6.4 Sterilizable Suction Set

1) Rinse Suction -Set well with disinfecting agent.
2) Clean with damp cloth.
Bag and autoclave the sterilization suction set at maximum 134C.
3)
To insure proper function of the Suction Pump, all tubes and seals must be periodically checked, and
replaced after at most 250 sterilizations or five years operation.
