Warning:
The company SOMATEX does not assume any liability for the use of this product or its components in case of re-
sterilization or reuse. This product may not be reused after a single application. The quality of the materials, coats
and adhesive joints could degrade. Safe use is not guaranteed any longer. The product that is already used once
is not designed for the required cleaning and sterilization processes. The sterility of the reprocessed disposable
products is therefore not guaranteed. The risk of unwanted injuries and infections, especially cross-infections
between patient and medical staff inappropriately increases.
