Reuse; Maintenance; Disposal; Product Safety Information - Alber Erivo R10 Gebrauchsanweisung

12.3. Reuse

If your Erivo has been provided to you by your health insurance company and you do not need it any longer, please contact your health
insurer, an Alber representative, or your authorised specialist dealer. Your Erivo can then be easily and efficiently reused.
Before the Erivo is reused, it should undergo maintenance.
In addition to the cleaning instructions specified in chapter 12.2, all the externally accessible plastic parts of the Erivo components need
to be disinfected before they can be reused. Use only alcohol-based disinfectant wipes approved by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI); see
manufacturer's recommendations for application time and concentration.
Example: Bacillol AF, application time 15 minutes.

12.4. Maintenance

In Germany, the maintenance of medical products is regulated by law in the Medical Device Directive (MPBetreibV), Section 7. According to
this law, maintenance measures, especially inspections and servicing, are required in order to ensure continuous safe and proper operation
of medical devices.
Based on market observations, an interval of two years has proven reasonable for maintenance of our products when used under normal
operating conditions. This guideline value of two years may vary depending on the actual use of the product and the behaviour of the user.
Checking the degree of use and the user behaviour is the responsibility of the operator. In any case, we strongly recommend that you cla-
rify beforehand to what extent the cost of the maintenance work for our products is covered by your health insurance provider, especially
with regard to any existing contracts.

12.5. Disposal

This device, its battery pack and accessories are durable products.
Nevertheless, they may contain substances that are hazardous to the environment if the parts are disposed of in locations
(e.g. landfills) that are not intended for the disposal of such materials according to the applicable statutory regulations
for the country in question.
The product is labelled (in accordance with the WEEE Directive) with a "crossed-out rubbish bin" symbol, reminding you
that it must be recycled.
Please protect the environment and return the product at the end of its service life to your local recycling centre.
As this product is not covered by the regulations of the WEEE Directive in all European countries, please familiarise yourself with the
applicable waste disposal regulations in your country. Alternatively, return the Erivo to a specialist Alber dealer or Alber GmbH for proper
and environmentally sound disposal.

13. Product safety information

All the components of your Erivo have undergone functional tests and extensive inspections. However, in the event of an unforeseeable
impairment in the operation of the Erivo, the following web pages contain prompt and appropriate safety information for customers:
• Homepage of Alber (manufacturer of the Erivo)
• Homepage of the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices [BfArM]
If corrective measures are necessary, Alber will notify the specialist dealer, who will then contact you.

14. Product service life

We expect an estimated average service life of five years for this product, provided that the product is used as intended and maintained
and serviced in accordance with all the instructions specified in the operating manual. This service life can be exceeded by handling, servicing,
maintaining and using the product with care and insofar as there are no technical limitations that arise from further developments in science
and technology. However, the service life may also be reduced significantly by excessive or improper use. The service life required by the
applicable standards does not constitute an additional warranty.
