6.1
Reprocessing of hoses and
collection jar
Always wear protective clothing (gloves) when carrying out
cleaning work.
Those parts which come into contact with the secretion must
be cleaned and disinfected after each use before a new patient
is treated.
These are:
–
Suction hose including suction connector or suction in-
struments,
–
collection jar including cap and double connecting nipple,
–
connecting hose for safety jar (for safety jar and bacterial
fi lter, see overleaf).
 Release all hose connections, remove the double connec-
ting nipple from the closure system, empty the collection
jar and dispose properly of the aspirated material.
 Unscrew the upper part of the safety jar. Empty the jar, if
required.
 Remove the lid from the safety jar and take out the fi lter (if
any).
 Thoroughly rinse all parts under running water. Obviously,
you may use a cleaning agent. Using the cleaning
agent Neodisher AN (manufactured by Dr. Weigert, Ham-
burg) cleaning in an automatic cleaner and disinfecter is
also possible.
Thermal disinfection is carried out at 93° C.
 You can remove the lid insert from the closure system so
that it can be cleaned thoroughly. To do so, turn the knurled
screw counter-clockwise until the insert can be removed.
 Autoclave the lid-container system (up to 134°C, 4 min)
(disinfect the parts using the disinfectants listed on page
37).
 Reassemble the parts after that (chapter 4.1 Initial start-up).
 Ensure that the contacts for the level monitoring are not
contaminated.

Do not use any cleaning agents or disinfectants
other than those listed on page 37.
 Grease the 'O' rings with vaseline after cleaning.
