It is possible that in the course of using the device, potential infectious material such as biological fluids can get into contact with it.
Therefore, it is recommended to clean the device with a disinfectant solution (e.g. Mikrozid® AF Liquid, Aerodesin®2000 or similar products).
Please read the instructions carefully before using the system.
