hours or at least once a year. During maintenance, the hardware and
software of the device is inspected, wear parts are checked and, if
applicable, exchanged or cleaned. This inspection requires special
training to ensure smooth operation of the VADOplex systems.
Thus, maintenance tasks and technical procedures at the VADOplex
system may only be performed by authorized technicians. Otherwise,
the manufacturer does not assume any responsibility for the use and
effect of the VADOplex system.

disinfected with standard disinfectant agents for hospital use or
