DISINFECTION
After sanitising the accessories, disinfect them choosing one of the methods described below
method A: Accessories (B2-C1-C2-C3-C4-C5-A7-A9-A10) can be disinfected.
The disinfectant must be an electrolytic chloroxidizer (active principle: sodium hypochlorite) specific for disinfect-
ing, which is available in any pharmacy.
Implementation:
- Fill a container big enough to hold all of the parts to disinfect with a solution of potable water and disinfectant,
according to the proportions indicated on the packaging of the disinfectant.
- Completely immerse each part in the solution, taking care to avoid the formation of air bubbles on the parts. Leave
the parts immersed for the amount of time indicated on the packaging of the disinfectant associated with the
concentration chosen for the solution.
- Remove the disinfected parts and rinse abundantly with warm potable water.
- Dispose of the solution following the instructions provided by the disinfectant manufacturer.
method B: Disinfect the accessories (C1-C2-C3-C4-C5-A7-A9-A10-B2) by boiling them in water for 10 minutes; use
demineralised or distilled water to prevent calcium deposits.
method C: Disinfect the accessories (C1-C2-C3-C4-C5-A7-A9-A10-B2) with a hot steam steriliser for baby-bottle (not
the microwave type). Perform the process faithfully following the instructions of the steriliser. To ensure that the
disinfection is effective, choose a steriliser with an operating cycle of at least 6 minutes.
After the CLEANING AND / OR DISINFECTION operations dry the area of the transducer, without exerting unneces-
sary pressure on the transducer itself, dry the accessories and the outside of the appliance with a paper towel or
even better with a jet of hot air (e.g. hair dryer). Finally, check that the "power plug" area of the device is completely
dry.

with a gentle, non abrasive dish detergent
method B: Sanitise accessories (C1-C2-C3-C4-C5) in the dishwasher with a hot cycle.

STERILISATION
Accessories (C1-C2-C3-C5-A7-A9-A10-B2 Assembled) can be sterilised.
Device: Fractionated vacuum overpressure steam steriliser in accordance with EN 13060.
Implementation: Wrap every single part to be treated with a sterile barrier system or packaging in accordance with
Norm EN 11607. Place the packed components in the steam steriliser. Run the sterilisation cycle according to the
operating instructions of the device by selecting a temperature of 134 °C and a time of 10 minutes first.
For the SILICONE TUBING (A7-A9-A10): temperature of 134°C and a duration of 10 minutes for a maximum of 30
times.
Storage: Store the sterilised parts as per the instructions for use of either the sterile barrier system or packaging.
The sterilisation procedure is validated in its conformity to ISO 17665-1.
