+ Using corrosive disinfectants may result in damage, malfunction and/or failure of
the equipment.
+ Chlorine permeates the hydrophobic filter on top of the collection bottle and may
damage the materials of the equipment or the vacuum supply.
+ Leaking of liquid from a damaged collection bottle or suction tube may lead to ex-
posure of personnel and material or to damage/destruction of wetted equipment
or laboratory furniture.
+ For information about the compatibility with the materials, ask the manufacturer
of the disinfectant.
The use of the disinfectant Sekusept ® Plus (Manufacturer: Ecolab GmbH & Co
OHG, Düsseldorf, Germany) in extensive in-house testing did not cause any dam-
age.
Comply with use and safety instructions of the manufacturer!
According to manufacturer´s instructions Sekusept ® Plus is not suitable for instru-
ments made of silicone.
Important notes on use of disinfectants
Aggressive disinfectants which release chlorine or oxygen rad-
icals, e.g., sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) or peroxide
compounds can corrode the material of the 4l polypropylene
collection bottle and other components (e. g., couplings). This
may lead to stress cracks and breakage of the 4l polypropyl-
ene bottle.
+ Therefore, prolonged use of these disinfectants in the 4l
polypropylene bottle is strongly discouraged. After brief
disinfecting operations in the bottle, rinse bottle thoroughly
to avoid leaving residues of disinfectant in the bottle.
➨ Alternative: Use the BVC control G / BVC professional G
with 2l borosilicate glass bottle.
Attention: The quick-coupling accessory sets between the
pumping unit and VHC pro are not suitable for use with chlo-
rine bleach.
