Disclaimer
To make sure the installation is well performed and to ensure trouble-free long-lasting operation of the device we strongly recommend that you organize
an installation/training meeting with your SteriLux sales representative. The installation and training should last around 1 hour and can be done remotely
via video-conference. For the training to be fully effective, end-users of the device should be present during the installation meeting.
If you have decided to use commercially available nitrogen supply cylinders that are not distributed by SteriLux, you must be extra careful when
connecting the nitrogen supply to your device as it could permanently alter the efficiency of the device if done improperly. To avoid any complications,
always contact your SteriLux sales representative to schedule an installation meeting.
