1 Preface
1.1 Applicability
The following operating instructions apply to the TopCut B urine and secretion bag
cutter.
The TopCut B is an accessory for the 2013 Topline and Topic cleaning and disinfection
machines. It is designed as a replaceable holder to enable urine and secretion bags to
be cut and emptied in TopLine and Topic machines.
The TopCut device is not to be used in machines with an automatic door. Due to the
increased operating forces caused by the cutting mechanism and the weight of the filled
bag, it can result in damage to and/or malfunction of the door mechanism and the
TopCut device itself. MEIKO will not assume any liability in such cases.
1.2 General information
Please read these operating instructions carefully.
We accept no responsibility for damage caused by operating faults or by failure to
observe the operating instructions. Modifications to the TopCut, and in particular
technical modifications carried out without the manufacturer’s written authorization, or
any modifications carried out by unauthorized persons, will lead to the complete loss of
any guarantee claims and will invalidate any liability for the product.
MEIKO is constantly working on the further development of all its products. As a result
of this, please understand that we reserve the right to make changes to the scope of
supply concerning the design, equipment and technical features at any time.
No claims may therefore be based on the details, the images or the descriptions
contained in these operating instructions.
Reproduction or translation of this document, or parts thereof, is not permitted without
written permission of MEIKO. All rights in keeping with the German Law on Copyrights
are owned by MEIKO.
These operating instructions are provided free of charge with the TopCut.
Please keep them carefully as we will charge you for each additional copy you require
to cover our own costs.
2 Determined use
TopCut B is a vessel holder for the TopLine and Topic model 2013 cleaning and
disinfection device for hygienically correct cutting, emptying and disinfection of urine
and secretion bags (see the list in the "Suitable Bag Types" chapter) and for reducing
the occurrence and volume of waste.
You are only permitted to empty bags of urine and low viscosity secretions, which you
are allowed to dispose of as waste water, with the TopCut. Bags of highly viscose
secretions such as coagulated blood will not drain from the bag of their own accord after
cutting and are thus not suitable for the TopCut.
You may dispose of bags with urine and low viscosity secretions which have been
classified as suitable in accordance with the operator's risk assessment taking the
disinfection performance of the cleaning and disinfection equipment into consideration

4 Functional description
TopCut B is is used as a replaceable holder in the Topline and Topic model 2013
cleaning and disinfection device.
The bag is cut longitudinally at one corner (30 to 40 mm); the bag then drains
autonomously when the washing chamber is closed.
The bag is cut at the centre (30 to 40 mm); the bag then drains autonomously when the
washing chamber is closed.
This function is fully efficient:
when bags are inserted centrally into the TopCut urine and secretion bag cutter and the
bags are filled with a low viscosity medium.

5 Operation: Inserting the bag
DANGER
Cuts to fingers and hands!
Do not activate the blade cover manually if the TopCut is not installed.
TopCut is equipped with a sharp blade at the front. In idle position, the blade is covered
by the cutting unit and is not exposed until the washing chamber door is closed.
Inserting the holder into the device:
Remove the universal vessel holder from the
TopLine device.
Hold TopCut with the right hand.
Move the basket in the direction of the arrow
with your left hand.
Press down the lever with your right-hand
palm and simultaneously push the bracket
forwards until the lever engages in front of the
retaining shoe. Move the basket in the
direction of the arrow.
Insert the bag into the holder:
Insert the bag so that it is centered in front of
the blade as shown (see also the "Suitable
bag types" chapter. Do not throw bags in; the
door could close unexpectedly on you doing
so!
If there is a hose, clamp it under the lever.
Close the door and
start the washing program.
After the program has been completed,
remove the empty bag, which has been
disinfected from the outside.

9 / 16
9680928
When the programme has finished it means the bag has
been emptied and
disinfected, and can be removed!
6 Cleaning
When the programme has finished it means the bag has been emptied and disinfected
externally.
The TopCut B has also been disinfected!

7 Safety instructions
Due to its working principle, the TopCut has a sharp blade at the front. In idle
position, the blade is covered by the cutting unit and is not exposed until the
washing chamber door is closed. In case of direct manual actuation of the
TopCut there is a danger of injury by the blade!!
If the TopCut is bent due to improper use the blade may remain exposed after
actuation. In this case immediately disable the TopCut and secure against use!
Insert the bags into the holder; do not throw them as this could cause the door
to close unexpectedly!
If the bag is not correctly cut open, place the bag in the holder again so that it
is centred and cut the bag once more. If the TopCut again fails to cut, inform
an authorised member of staff.
After closing the chamber door, do not open it again, but immediately start the
program.
In case of service: Caution on replacing the the blade: Danger of injury!
Please observe proper use of the cleaning and disinfection device. Any other
use or operations could cause damage and risks for which we can accept no
responsibility.
Wear personal protection (rubber gloves). To avoid contaminating the door
handle and the control panel, you should remove your protective gloves after
filling the TopCut. Then disinfect your hands. Observe the operator's hygiene
plan.
Please read and observe the safety instructions and operating instructions for
the cleaning and disinfection device.
Before removing the TopCut, make sure that the blade has retracted correctly
and that the holder is free of soiling. In dismounted state, carry the Der TopCut
by the side facing the cutting unit. Do not use moving parts as a carrying aid.
Handle the TopCut with care. Do not throw, swing or drop the device
Do not use in machines with an automatic door! If it is used in machines with
an automatic door, the high load produced can result in damage to the door
mechanism and to the TopCut device itself.
For your own safety and to avoid any danger do only use original MEIKO spare
parts!

8 Notes on insufficient functionality of the TopCut
You are using bags that are not supported. Use only suitable bags as described in
the chapter "Suitable bag types"!
You are not inserting the bags correctly. -> Insert the bags as shown in the chapter
"Suitable bag types".
The blade is blunt or damaged and thus unable to penetrate the foil. -> Call in
authorised staff to replace the blade.
If the mechanical system is bent or does not run smoothly, call in authorised staff to
repair or replace the TopCut as needed.
The safety lever on the TopCut has not clicked into place correctly behind the
retaining shoe on the door. The TopCut is pushed upward on closing the door. ->
Make sure that the safety lever locks into place. If the safety lever is worn, call in
authorised staff to replace it.

11 Final decommissioning
In case of intended use, the holder is disinfected. On decommissioning, remove the blade
and recycle the holder. The holder is completely manufactured from stainless steel. If the
disinfection status is unclear, we recommend disinfecting the holder in a disinfection
device prior to disposal.
