Carry out machine cleaning and disinfection
1 Observe the instructions for use for the washer-

60 °C (104 °F to 140 °F) for at least 5 min-
utes.

infector.
7 Check parts for visible dirt and damage. If neces-
sary, repeat program or carry out manual clean-
ing and disinfection.
8 Allow items to dry thoroughly.

Sterilization

During sterilization, living microorganisms are re-
moved from semi-critical medical devices. Residual
water inside the components is also dried out.
 Only sterilize cleaned and disinfected items.
Use a vacuum steam sterilizer (in accordance with
EN 285 / EN 13060), preferably with fractional vacu-
um.
Instructions for use Inhalette

Visual inspection

 Inspect all items for damage and wear, e.g.
cracking, embrittlement or pronounced harden-
ing, and residual soiling.
CAUTION
Even accessories designed to be reused have a
limited service life. Handling and reprocessing can
increase wear and markedly shorten service life
(e.g., disinfectant residues can attack the material
more intensely during autoclaving). If signs of wear
become visible, such as cracks, deformation, dis-
coloration, peeling, etc., affected accessories must
be replaced.

Service

This chapter describes the maintenance measures
required to maintain the proper functioning of the
medical device. Maintenance measures must be
performed by the personnel responsible.
WARNING
Risk of infection
Users and service personnel can become in-
fected with pathogenic germs.
Disinfect and clean device or device parts be-
fore any maintenance measures and also be-
fore returning the medical device for repair.
