Vitalograph Cleaning and Disinfection Guidelines for the Emergency Aspirator Components of Disassembled Emergency Aspirator One Way Valve Catheter & mount not shown  Quick Release Cap  Aspirate Container Mesh Filter (Disposable)  Rear End Cap Pump Unit  Post-Use Cleaning and Disinfecting Owing to the situations in which the Emergency Aspirator is designed to be used, for the purposes of these guidelines all parts of the equipment will be considered to be at risk of having been exposed to body fluids. The catheter is at risk of having been in close contact with breaks in skin or mucous membrane, which means it poses a high risk of pathogen transmission. It is therefore manufactured to be disposable. The mesh filter is also manufactured to be disposable. All other parts of the Emergency Aspirator pose an intermediate transmission risk and should be disinfected according to guidelines given below.
