8. HYGIENE

General
Caution!
To avoid a health risk – e.g.
infection from a contaminated
Lip Piece, a contaminated Mouth-
piece, or a contaminated Cooling Unit
– the following hygiene instructions
must be followed.
Please note that for different areas
of application different requirements
regarding the hygienic reprocessing
must be observed:
a) Lip Piece
A new Lip Piece has to be used
before each operation. (Excep-
tions are stated in Chapter 8.1.
"Disposable Lip Piece for Hygienic
Use", page 29).
b) Cooling Unit with Mouthpiece
The Cooling Unit with Mouth-
piece must be cleaned if there is
visible residue (see Chapter 8.3.
"Cleaning of the Cooling Unit with
Mouthpiece", page 32).
c) Both the Cooling Unit with Mouth-
piece and the Lip Piece may be
used by one person only.
Make sure that the equipment is al-
lowed to dry thoroughly after every
cleaning.
Condensation or residual moisture
may encourage bacterial growth.
Please note the following indications
on the "Material Resistance of the
MIGHTY MEDIC Vaporizer".
Inspect the component parts of the
Cooling Unit and Mouthpiece regu-
larly and replace defective (broken,
misshapen, discolored) parts.
Please note that damaged or
brittle Lip Pieces are not to be
used.

8. HYGIENE
Material Resistance of the MIGHTY
MEDIC Vaporizer
Please ensure that the Lip Piece, the
Cooling Unit with Mouthpiece and
the MIGHTY MEDIC Vaporizer do
not come in contact with the following
chemicals:
organic, mineral and oxidating
acids (min. permissible pH 5.5)
strong bases (max. permissible
pH 10). We recommend using
neutral/enzymatic or slightly alka-
line cleaners.
organic solvents (e.g. aldehyde,
ether, ketone, benzene)
oxidation agents (e.g. hydrogen
peroxide)
halogens (chlorine, iodine, bro-
mine)
aromatic/halogenated hydrocar-
bons
phenol derivatives, amin com-
pounds (in high concentrations)
oils and greases
Clean the parts of the MIGHTY MED-
IC Vaporizer only with soft brushes,
never with metal brushes or steel wool.
8.1. Disposable Lip Piece for Hy-
gienic Use
The Lip Piece will be delivered brand
new and in a low-germ, but not fully-
sterile state.
Its purpose is to avoid a health risk –
e.g. infection from a contaminated
Mouthpiece, or a contaminated Cool-
ing Unit.
The Lip Piece of the MIGHTY
MEDIC Vaporizer is equipped
with a check valve. This check
valve reduces the danger of a poten-
tial contamination inside the Cooling
Unit by preventing breathing into the
Cooling Unit.
This ensures that the Cooling Unit
can be re-used several times before
it has to be cleaned (see Chapter
8.3. "Cleaning of the Cooling Unit with
Mouthpiece", page 32).
