Validation Of Sensor Measurements - Vacuum Gauge; Checking Operation Of The Network Alarm; Precautions With The Network; Training - MIL'S MINIVAC PS Manual De Operación Y Mantenimiento

11.7. Validation of sensor measurements – vacuum gauge
For the PROCOM-2 / CYCLIC 2020 and MILLENIUM:
 connect the electronic calibrating vacuum gauge to the bleed valve of the receiver and check the sensor
regulation and the mechanical vacuum gage

11.8. Checking operation of the network alarm

Check with relevant authority that this test is suitable for the activity and architecture of
the building in which the network is installed. This action will trigger an alarm.
Disconnect the 'rilsan' pipe from the network alarm sensor C2V to make a vacuum drop; the low network
alarm will be triggered at –370 mbar.

PRECAUTIONS WITH THE NETWORK

The components of the vacuum unit are not designed to resist an overpressure coming from the network,
for example during the cleaning and pressure tests phases.
It is the same for the lowest level drip pot placed at the various points of the network.
It is imperative to be isolated from the network during maintenance operations.
The suction through network of hydrogen peroxide or all other having the same
properties is completely proscribed.
The hydrogen peroxide can release from oxygen and under certain conditions, to cause an increase
abnormally high of the pressure.

TRAINING

In order to ensure perfect aptitude in the use of the vacuum plant for medical use, the MIL'S SAS Company
offers its own training for the use of this equipment. It is intended for users and technical personnel
working on or near the vacuum plant for medical use.
CLEANING
14.1. Units cleaning
Do not use corrosive product
If the units system requires cleaning, use a soap solution and a clean cloth.
Then wipe well with a dry cloth.
For disinfection, use swabs soaked in a disinfectant solution.
Frequency: as required.

14.2. Network cleaning

When cleaning a network with a cleaning solution or disinfectant, we must be vigilant.
The solution mixed with the organic material present in the network, could lead to an extremely rapid and
significant pressure for progress in specific components (jars low point, for example) which can lead to an
explosion of them.

END OF LIFE OF THE MEDICAL DEVICE

In order to limit negative impacts on the environment and to save natural resources, all waste must be
treated according to its nature (recycling, recovery, incineration, landfill or other treatment for
hazardous waste). In order to channel each waste to the appropriate treatment route, it is essential that
it is collected and sorted correctly.
The device must be dismantled and the components must be handled according to the following
requirements:
 Metal and plastic waste
Metal and plastic waste must be recycled according to the collection channels in place.
 Oils
The oil, if contained in the device, must be collected with a suitable container and not spilled on the
ground.
It must be recycled according to the collection channels in place.
 Waste from health care activities with an infectious risk
The filtration components of the vacuum pumps including in vacuum plants and anaesthesia gas scavenging
systems are components that have an infectious risk (toxins, viruses, bacteria); they must be handled with
safety equipment (masks, gloves) and packaged in a container suitable for Waste from health care activities
with an infectious risk.
They must be recycled and collected according to the channels in place.
 Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
In accordance with the 2012/19/EU European Directive for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), Article 2, paragraph 3, point b, the product that is subject of the instructions for use is outside the
scope of this European Directive.
Indeed, the product that is the subject of the instructions for use is specifically designed and installed to be
connected to a medical fluid distribution system, which is not electrical and electronic equipment.
Therefore, the end-of-life management of electrical and electronic components is the total responsibility of
the customer or the end-user.
