11.2 Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization
WARNING
• Always disconnect the device from electrical
power before cleaning. This step reduces the
risk of electrical shock.
• DO NOT reuse single-use bacteria filters, flow
sensors, and other accessories. They must be
discarded after single use. Reusing, disassem-
bling, cleaning, disinfecting, or sterilizing a sin-
gle-use part may compromise its functionality
and system performance, leading to a possible
operator or patient hazard. Performance is not
guaranteed if an item labeled as single-use is
reused.
• Always use caution when handling bacteria
filters. This care minimizes the risk of bacterial
contamination or physical damage.
• To prevent patient exposure to sterilizing
agents and to prevent premature deterioriation
of parts, sterilize parts using the techniques
recommended in this section only.
