measures and means to protect his or her own safety.
The CTS can be washed with water which must not exceed a temperature of 40° C. Never use abrasive metal brushes or
very hard brushes, which could damage the fabric. If using a washing machine, avoid spinning.

deposits. Remove any traces of blood and/or organic matter left by the patient before disinfecting. Disinfect the CTS

The CTS Boscarol CANNOT be sterilised!
Sterilisation
The sterile drape placed between the CTS and the patient's body is necessary to prevent

it establishes a thermal barrier and limits the release of organic substances.
