physical injuries can be caused by incorrect use.
• Pay particular attention during aspiration to en-
sure that no injuries are caused to the patient’s
oropharyngeal cavities, e.g. to the mucous
membranes.
• For bronchial aspiration, work under sterile
conditions and use only sterile aspiration
catheters.
Important! • 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
Abfallentsorgung” [Hygiene requirements when
disposing of waste] (published by the Federal
Office of Health and obtainable from Carl
Heymanns Verlag, Cologne).
• Please ensure that the aspirate bottles are always
upright during aspiration, otherwise the ball of
the overflow cutout cannot reliably block the
outlet.
