Maintenance

Read carefully the IFU from the manufacturer.

Disassemble the aspiration device before cleaning

Steam autoclave wrapped in a double layer of paper for 30 minutes at 121ºC with a pressure of 106 kPa.

Before use, reassemble, lubricate and check vacuum capability. The aspirator should be discarded and replaced for any of the following reasons:

  • The cylinder is brittle or cracked or mineral deposits inhibit plunger movement.
  • The valve parts are cracked, bent or broken.
  • The buttons are broken.
  • The plunger arms do not lock.
  • The aspirator no longer holds a vacuum.

Storage

  • Store between 15 and 30°C
  • Protect from sunlight ‐ Protect from humidity

MSF requirements

Compared to the sharp-curettage method of abortion, use of MVA requires less cervical dilatation and is associated with less blood loss, shorter hospital stays and a reduced need for anesthetic drugs.

Vacuum aspiration methods are recommended over sharp curettage by the World Health Organization.
