For disinfection, you may use all surface and instrument
disinfectants listed on page 26.
Always observe the concentration specifi cations and
instructions by the respective manufacturer !
Do not use
• Disinfectants containing concentrated organic or an-
organic acids or bases, since these may cause
corrosion damages;
• Disinfectants containing chloramides, phenol deri-
vatives or anionic tensides, since these may cause
stress cracks in the material used for the housing of
the unit.

Secretion canister (without autom.
secretion canister evacuation),
bacterial fi lter and suction hose
At the end of every working-day,
following parts must be
cleaned and disinfected:
Secretion canister with lid system and bacterial fi lter:
•
Detach all hose connections carefully on the lid system
and take secretion canister out carefully to prevent spills and
contamination of the area. Dispose of secretions
properly.
• Grip lid system fi rmly, open lid of fi lter housing by turning
in anti-clockwise direction.
• For systems with bacterial fi lter plates or integrated
bacterial fi lter:
Remove fi lter and dispose of it.
• With external bacterial fi lter:
To open the bacterial fi lter cover please turn it. Remove
fi lter and dispose of it.
• After cleaning a new filter must be inserted (with
bacterial fi lter plate: smooth side down).
See chapter 6.1.
• The bacterial fi lter is a disposable and must be disposed
of. The bacterial fi lter must be exchanged at least once
a day.
Suction system and hose attachment:
• After every use, rinse out the suction system by
drawing in a small amount of irrigating fluid (e.g.
ATMOS Special Cleanser 080.0005.0).
Keeps the hoses from becoming sticky or
clogged.
Suction capacity is limited by the 1.25 l secretion
canister. Therefore, do not use more than 1 l rinsing
liquid and subsequently evacuate the canister.
Replace The fi lter.
