WARNING!
Contamination
Do not use device or vacuum tube if signs of contamination are detected. Fluid
that has penetrated can be detected, for example, by dirt encrustations on the
connections for the suction or at the exit of the vacuum pump. Make sure the de-
vice or/and accessories can no longer be operated until a qualified service tech-
nician conducts the appropriate tests and repairs.
WARNING!
Different default settings of the warning message for identical or similar devices
in the operating room may cause a risk due to conflicting acoustic signals.
WARNING!
Sterilize reusable instruments and tubing before surgery to prevent infections.
Check all the single-use/disposable items before removing them from the pack-
age to ensure that the packaging is intact and that the expiration date is still val-
id.

ality due to reuse. Risk of injury, illness or death due to contamination and/or
