HYGIENIC RE-USE IN THE PROFESSIONAL
ENVIRONMENT
5.1 General
CAUTION
Risk of infection in the case of a change in patients. The
VORTEX must be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised before
a change of patients. The tracheal adapter must be disposed
of. If sterilisation is not carried out, the mouthpiece must also
be disposed of.
CAUTION
Ensure that the components are allowed to dry sufficiently
after each processing step. Condensation or residual wet-
ness can present an increased risk of bacterial growth.
NOTICE
Ensure that the system is processed for re-use only with the
application of adequately validated device- and product-spe-
cific procedures, and that the validated parameters are main-
tained during each cycle. The equipment used must be main-
tained regularly.
PARI products must be processed for re-use with the applica-
tion of suitable, validated methods in such manner that the suc-
cess of these methods can be monitored reliably and the safety
and health of patients is not threatened.
The following text describes the methods validated by PARI,
with which the product components can be processed effect-
ively. If you have any questions about processing for re-use,
please contact the PARI Service Center [see: Contact,
page 50].
