Removal:
1. Turn off the water supply.
2. Remove the used shower filter by unscrewing it from the end of the flexible hose or unclip the shower filter or tap filter from
the adapter connector.
3. Dispose of the used filter according to your institution's established procedures.
Use in a non-controlled environment can be a source of retro-contamination. Any filter that is believed to be contaminated must
be replaced, especially if the contaminant is visible.
Waste management:
Used filters do not present any special infectious risk. They are classified as normal household waste. The installation guide
and the white carton can be recycled (paper/card).
Maintenance:
To facilitate the tracking of maintenance procedures, a removable adhesive label (located on the filtration device) can be used
to record important information for your safety records (date of manufacture, date of removal, batch number and filter unique
identification number, etc.). Stick on to the tracking page and write down the installation and removal date. This information
is also available as the UDI (Unique Device Identification) which is a data matrix with information in the form of (01) GTIN:
Global Trade Item Number, (10) Lot number, (17) expiration date, (21) Unit Number, (240) DELABIE part number.
Manufacturing date, Expiration date and Lot number are also clearly identified on device labels and packaging.
The lifespan is identified by a numerical symbol featuring the number of months.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
BIOFIL Disposable Water Filters:
• Must not, under any circumstances, be used to produce water for pharmaceutical purposes (i.e., water that will be used in
solutions intended to be administered orally, injected, or perfused).
• Are single use (disposable) or re-installed on another point-of-use.
• Have a limited lifespan according to the filter used, and an expiration date indicated on the label. These must be adhered to.
• Must not come into direct contact with germ sources (dirty skin or hands, contaminated aerosols, body fluids, etc.).
• Must not be unscrewed or disconnected during the life of the filter except if the water distribution system is disinfected.
In this instance, replace with a new filter.
• Must not be struck or dropped (fall). Filter performance is not guaranteed if the filter casing is physically damaged.
Do not attempt to open the device.
• Shower head filters must always be replaced in the wall-mounted bracket after use.
• All filters must be regularly cleaned then disinfected according to your institution's established procedures, starting at the water
outlet, using a clean disinfectant wipe.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Conditions for use:
The performance of BIOFIL disposable water filters is guaranteed when the water pressure and temperature remain between
1 to 5 bar and 5°C and 42°C, respectively. Flow rates measured under normal conditions are as follows:
Flow rate (l/min) -
Tap 2M
Flow rate (l/min) -
Tap 3M
Flow rate (l/min) -
Tap 4M
Flow rate (l/min) -
Shower Head 2M
Flow rate (l/min) -
Shower Head 3M
Flow rate (l/min) -
Shower Head 4M
Heat and chemical resistance:
BIOFIL disposable water filters are resistant to the thermal and chemical shocks that frequently occur during disinfection
of the water supply system (see 9-1). They remain effective after treatment at 70°C for 30 min (cumulative maximum)
or a dose of active chlorine at 100 ppm: BIOFIL 2-month filters: 2 hours at 100ppm; 3-month filters: 3 hours at 100ppm; and
4-month filters: 4 hours at 100ppm.
Blockage tolerance:
The flow rate at the point of use may decrease somewhat before the end expiration date if there are unusually high levels of
particles or suspended microorganisms in the water supply (for example, after a maintenance procedure has been performed).
If the flow rate becomes too slow for user comfort, simply replace the filter.
