12 Safety instructions
• When working with the disposable collection
canister, the appliance must be upright. This pre-
vents the overflow valve filter integrated in the
disposable collection bag from being wetted
with fluid. If this occurs, the overflow valve filter
becomes impermeable for air and you must re-
place the disposable collection bag. Use only cle-
an canisters, otherwise secretion may get into
the device.
• We recommend that you keep an alternative as-
piration appliance on standby in case of an appli-
ance failure.
• Follow the section entitled „6. Hygienic prepara-
tion“ auf Seite 30 to prevent an infection or bac-
terial contamination.
• Dispose of fluids such as blood and secretions, as
well as parts contaminated with these fluids, as
per the guidelines in the Federal Health Gazette
entitled “Anforderungen der Hygiene an die Ab-
fallentsorgung” [Hygiene requirements when
disposing of waste] (published by the Federal Of-
fice of Health and obtainable from Carl Heyman-
ns Verlag, Cologne).
• If third-party items are used, functional failures
and restricted fitness for use may result. Biocom-
patibility requirements may also not be met. In
such cases, please be aware that any claim under
warranty and liability will be voided if neither the
accessories nor the genuine replacement parts
recommended in the instructions for use are
used.
• Have servicing and repair work performed only
by the manufacturer, WEINMANN Emergency,
or by professional staff.
• The plug-in charger is only intended for charging
the power pack with the appliance switched off.
