Start-Up
Inserting/Removing a Cartridge
The cartridges must be at room temperature when they are inserted.
The cartridge spike in the medical device is sharp.
Be careful not to injure yourself on the projecting spike.
Whenever you replace a cartridge:
- Always clean the cartridge compartment
- Perform the initial filling
Observe the manufacturer’s instructions on the use of disinfectant.
Inserting/Removing a Filter
Always clean the filter compartment whenever you replace a filter. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions on the use of disinfectant.
General
Use only non-contaminated, oil-free, dry and filtered compressed air according to ISO 7494-2. Replace the filter if contaminated.
Switching the Assistina Twin On/Off
Initial Filling
Carry out the initial filling without a transmission instrument. It does not matter which chamber you fill first.
Following the initial filling, clean both chambers with a damp cloth.
Standby Mode
The medical device switches to standby mode:
- When the power supply unit is inserted into the socket; or
- If it is not operated for 15 minutes.
Test Run
- Place a pre-disinfected transmission instrument onto the Quick Connect by W&H.
- Start the Assistina Twin.
The transmission instrument will be slightly moist when you take it out. It then needs to be manually disinfected and sterilized.
In the event of operating malfunctions (e.g., vibrations, unusual noise, overheating, failure or leakage) stop the medical device immediately and contact an authorized W&H service partner.
