14. APPENDIX - MAINTENANCE
In addition to correct use, the user needs to perform regular maintenance in order to guarantee safe, efficient operation
over the device's entire life.
Always use personal protective equipment.
For better quality of maintenance, supplement routine checks with regular periodic check-ups that can be performed by
Technical Service Department (see Appendix).
It is also fundamental to perform a periodic sterilizer validation, i.e. a check of process thermo-dynamic parameters
and their comparison with the reference values detected by duly calibrated tools. Refer to 'Sterilizer Periodic Validation' in
the next part of the Appendix.
The regular maintenance described below consists in easy manual operations and preventative interventions involving
simple tools.
In the event of replacement of components or parts of the device, request and/or use original spare parts only.
