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 AS-36 BR suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication. It is, however 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. Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and AC/DC switching adapter , feeding
cable, they might have been damaged during previous use. Connect cable to electrical network and turn switch on. Close the
aspirator outlet with your finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum position check that the vacuum indicators
reaches – 80kPa (-0.80 bar) minimum (internal battery). Rotate the knob from right to left and check the aspiration regulating
control. The vacuum indicator should go down – 25kPa (-0.25 bar). Verify that loud noises are not present, these can indicate
wrong functioning. The device is protected by a safety fuse (F 10A L 250V) situated in the cigarette lighter cable. When replacing,
always check the type and value as indicated. Internally, the device is protected (see electrical specifications) by two fuses
(T 15A L 125V) that cannot be reached from the outside. Therefore, contact the manufacturer to request the assistance of an
authorized and qualified technician when they need to be replaced. If it's replaced make sure that its replacement is always the
same type and value, as indicated. The device is made up of a lead battery which cannot be accessed by outside. In order to replace
it, consult the technical staff authorised by the manufacturer.
