4 Note on operation
The treatment unit should be inspected and its proper function

checked daily prior to being used with patients (tubes, cable
connectors, display instruments, cleanliness, etc.)
Power and water connections for the treatment

unit must be secure!
Note for units with a glass display: the unit is operated using a
touch-sensitive glass surface, which covers a set of sensors. The
sensors transform touches of the sensor field into a switching
signal. The sensors react to touch with a short delay (in order to Fig. 1: Glass display
avoid unintended touches) and activate the relevant function.
Activation of a function is signalled with a click. After activating a
function, the colour of the sensor field changes from blue to green.
It remains blue for as long as the function remains active.
4.1 Main power switch
The treatment unit is switched on via the main power switch (fig. 2)
and is then ready to use.
Models with glass display only: on the Europa and Paris models,
the main power switch is located on the rear of the control panel.
Pressing the main power switch places the unit in stand-by mode.
Fig. 2: Main power switch
To switch the unit into ready mode, touch the on button (fig. 3) for 3
seconds. The unit is then ready to use. The illuminated green
buttons indicate that the unit is ready to use. Only those buttons
which can be activated will be illuminated (i.e. only those options
which have been ordered).
To switch the unit back into stand-by mode, touch the on button for
3 seconds. The buttons will cease to be illuminated and the on
button will be colored blue.
Fig. 3: Glass display

Note: always deactivate the unit by touching the
stand-by button before turning off at the main
power switch.

MODULA Paris
4.2 Mirror heater
Pressing the button (fig. 4) causes warm air to flow from the
opening. The mirror is warmed at a distance of 3 - 4 cm from this
opening. The mirror heater remains active for about 16 seconds
before switching itself off automatically. In order to avoid a build up
of heat within the casing, the fan continues to run for a further 10
seconds.
Should an excess temperature be detected, a safety thermostat will

deactivate the mirror warmer. Fig. 4: Glass display
Caution! Do not place any objects or body parts

directly over the opening, as the metal grid can
become very hot.
4.3 Suction with manual emptying (option)
Suction is activated automatically when the suction tube is

removed.
Caution! Please use suitable suction catheters for
suctioning and regulate the volume of flow to
prevent any risk of injury as a result of excessive
pressure focused at a single point.
The end of the suction tube has an adaptor for either an ear rinsing
bowl or a suction cannula (you have to change the suction
cannula after each patient!). After completing treatment, the
vacuum pump deactivates automatically when the suction tube is Fig. 5: Swivel arm
replaced in the suction tube holder (the 3rd holder form the left on
the swivel arm). Patient secretions are suctioned into a dedicated
reservoir which is located behind the side hatch, where they are
collected until the reservoir is full.
For reasons of hygiene, this reservoir should be emptied daily. The

reservoir will otherwise continue to fill until the overflow prevention
mechanism is triggered. A red warning light on the control panel
indicates that the reservoir is full. The reservoir must be emptied
when this warning light is illuminated.

MODULA Paris
Optional manual suction pressure control, allowing the required

suction pressure to be controlled using a control knob or an
adapted “Fingertip” (fig. 7), can be ordered separately.
Caution! The contents of the suction reservoir may

be contaminated.
Fig. 7: Fingertip
4.4 Suction with „Sekretomatik“ system (option)
Suction is activated automatically when the suction tube is

removed.
Caution! Please use suitable suction catheters for
suctioning and regulate the volume of flow to
prevent any risk of injury as a result of excessive
pressure focused at a single point.
The end of the suction tube has an adaptor for either an ear rinsing
bowl or a suction cannula (you have to change the suction
cannula after each patient!). After completing treatment, the
vacuum pump is deactivated automatically when the suction tube is Fig. 8: Swivel arm
replaced in the suction tube holder (the 3rd holder form the left on
the swivel arm).
The “Sekretomatik” system is activated automatically when the

suction tube is replaced in its holder. This empties the contents of
the suction reservoir into the drainage system. After emptying, the
suction reservoir is rinsed. A small volume of water is left in the
reservoir to prevent adhesion of secretions.
Optional manual suction pressure control, allowing the required

suction pressure to be controlled using a control knob or an
adapted “Fingertip” (fig. 7), can be ordered separately.

MODULA Paris
4.5 Cold light sources (option)
The light sources are activated by cold light source buttons 1 to 4

(fig. 10 buttons 1 to 4). Only one light source can be active at any
one time – an automatic electronic system prevents more than one
light source from being activated simultaneously. The light
extinguishes automatically after 15 minutes.
Fig. 10: Buttons „Cold light“
If you intend to leave the device switched on for a prolonged period
(30 minutes), hold down the light button for 2 seconds when turning
the device on (operation mode). Only one light source can be
activated at any one time. An automatic electronic system prevents
multiple light sources from being activated simultaneously. If a cold
light headlight is used, the cold light source will switch on when the
headlight is removed from its holder. This cold light source can also Fig. 11: Storz-adapter (light source
be switched on from the control panel as a ‘normal’ cold light side)
source using the corresponding button, should you subsequently
prefer an alternative use. This requires the headlight holder to
remain actuated or the jack to be removed in order to deactivate
the holder.
All treatment units are equipped with removable STORZ-type light

Fig. 12: Storz-adapter (optic side)
outputs as standard. Other outputs can be supplied on request. An
adaptor at the end of the optical cable can be used to connect
lenses or endoscopes. Please ensure that you use the correct
adaptor.
Units built after July 2010 can also be equipped with LED cold light
sources. The LEDs are switched on and off using the same
buttons. LED cold light sources have a brightness control next to
the light outputs on the side hatch as standard.
Note! Save energy by only activating the cold light

Fig. 13: Light cable
source when it is really needed. This also extends
the life of the lamps.
Caution! Never direct the light beam directly into

the eyes!

MODULA Paris
4.6 Compressed air unit (option)
The compressor is activated when the unit is switched on. It

compresses air into a compressed air reservoir until the fixed or
required pressure is achieved. The air pressure (in bar) is displayed
on a right manometer (fig. 14). The delivered pressure can be Fig. 14: Glass display
adjusted using the lever on the compressed air sprayer. If the lever
is depressed with more force, more air is discharged from the air
outlet. An optional continuously variable control knob allows air
pressure to be adjusted within the range 0.2 to 2,5 bar (required for
“Politzer”-application or for application of children!). The unit is able
to generate a maximum pressure of 2,5 bar.
The medicament sprayers are included with the unit, (optional) Fig. 15: Compressed air handpiece
Politzer olive or other devices can be attached to the front end of

the compressed air sprayer (fig. 16).
Caution! Politzerisation may only be performed on

units with an optional compressed air regulator
and at a maximum pressure of 0.5 bar. Please
check the pressure gauge and that the unit is
functioning correctly beforehand. Fig. 16: Politzer olives
4.7 Ear irrigation with water connection (option)
The hot water irrigation system is primarily used for ear irrigation.
The hot water irrigation system is activated by actuating the water
irrigation button. A temperature indicator continuously displays the
set and actual water temperatures. The top temperature is the
actual temperature, the bottom temperature the factory-set target
temperature (37° C).
An electronic safety system prevents the water temperature from

rising and deactivates the water system if the temperature reaches
45° C.
Caution! Check the water temperature before

using the ear irrigation system. Check the
temperature display and run some water over the Fig. 17: Glass display
back of your hand if necessary.

MODULA Paris
Caution! The water jet must not be directed

directly at the eardrum.
Flow rate (max. 500 ml/min) is adjusted using the lever on the
water handpiece (fig. 18). You have to change the water cannula
after each patient!
Caution! The unit should be taken out of service

and customer services informed if severe
fluctuations in temperature are experienced
(persistent deviations of more than 3°C from 37°C).
Fig. 18: Water handpiece

The unit can also be equipped with an optional water purification
filter. This single-use filter (4 weeks) is inserted between the water
handpiece and the cannula (fig. 19).
Fig. 19: Single-use filter
4.8 Ear irrigation with autonomous water system

(option)
Treatment units equipped with an internal water system are

supplied with water via a 5 liter tank installed behind the unit. The
water is heated by a water heating system.

Caution! Before working with the water irrigation,
ensure that there is enough water in the tank (the
tank should ideally be full).
The hot water irrigation system is activated by actuating the button

(fig. 20). The water heater temperature is factory-set to 37° C. A
thermostat and an additional safety system (activated at 45° C)
provide redundant protection against excess temperatures.
Note! The irrigation system should be deactivated

when not in use. This saves energy and extends
the lifespan of the pump.
Fig. 21: Water handpiece
Caution! The water jet must not be directed
directly at the eardrum.

MODULA Paris
Flow rate is adjusted using the lever on the water handpiece, max.
400 ml/min. (fig. 21). You have to change the water cannula
after each patient!
The unit can also be equipped with an optional water purification

filter. This single-use filter (lifespan 4 weeks) is inserted between
the water handpiece and the cannula (fig. 22).
Fig. 22: Single-use filter
4.9 Tube rinsing system (option)
In order to prevent accumulation of secretions and consequent

blockages in the suction system, we recommend using the optional
tube rinsing system.
The tube rinsing system is activated when the suction tube is

pressed onto the tube rinsing nozzle with the silicone tube
(important!) attached. The automatic tube rinsing system starts
after 0.5 s and continues for 3 s. (an error will be registered if the
rinsing nozzle is activated before the suction unit. The ‘Suction
reservoir full’ light on the control panel will flash alternately red and
green. The tube rinsing system will in this case be deactivated).
Fig. 23: Tube rinsing
This can be repeated, but should not be repeated more than three
times, as the collecting reservoir will quickly become full.
Note: We recommend using the tube rinsing

system at least daily.
4.10 Tube rinsing system with disinfectant (option)
In addition to the standard tube rinsing system (using water), it is

also possible to install a disinfectant container for a disinfectant
rinse.
The tube rinsing system is activated when the suction tube is

pressed onto the tube rinse nozzle with the silicone tube
(important!) attached. The automatic tube rinsing system starts
after 0.5 s. The suction tube is rinsed alternately with water and
disinfectant (from the disinfectant container) for 5 s. (an error will be Fig. 24: Tube rinsing
registered if the rinsing nozzle is activated before the suction unit.
The ‘Suction reservoir full’ light on the control panel will flash
alternately red and green. The tube rinsing system will in this case

MODULA Paris
be deactivated). This may be repeated, but should not be repeated

more than three times, as the collecting reservoir will quickly
become full.
Note: We recommend using the tube rinsing

system at least daily.
Recommended disinfectants can be found on page 28 of these

operating instructions.
4.11 Laryngoscope/ endoscope holders (option)
MODULA units offer optional heated endoscope holders (fig. 25) in

which endoscopes can be placed for warming. The holders are
heated to a defined temperature (factory set at 37° C). A thermostat
(fig. 26) allows the holder temperature to be set within a
continuously variable range from 0 to 40° C. The thermostat is
located to the rear of the control panel. Unheated endoscope
holders are also available.
Caution! Only endoscopes which are suitable for

5 Maintenance and repair
The treatment unit should be serviced annually.

5.1 Cleaning
Caution! Switch off at the main power switch and unplug the unit from the mains before
cleaning or disinfecting. To check that the unit is not under electrical tension, turn it on
at the main power switch.
Caution! Apply cleaning or disinfectant liquids with a soft cloth, do not pour directly onto
the casing. Extra care is required when using flammable liquids. Do not allow any liquid
to run into the device.
Clean the surface of the MODULA Paris using a soft cloth soaked in a non-aggressive cleaning agent or
disinfectant. Do not use ammonia-containing (e.g. Sidolin) or abrasive cleaning agents, as they will destroy
the painted surface over time. All-purpose cleaners and ethanol are particularly suitable as cleaning agents.
Components should always be subjected to a visual inspection after cleaning, with particular attention paid to
cracks, breaks and mechanical failure. Do not use alcohol-containing cleaning agents when cleaning the
perspex cover.
Note! Please clean the suction tubing at least daily using the optional integrated tube
rinsing system (option).
If your unit is not equipped with an integrated tube rinsing system, take a container containing a non-foaming
disinfectant solution and clean and disinfect the suction system by suctioning this solution up.
The suction reservoir (for manual suctioning) should be cleaned whenever the device is serviced (six
monthly). To do so, open the left side hatch, remove the suction reservoir and clean thoroughly. The
reservoir is resistant to disinfectants.
Never operate the treatment unit without the suction reservoir.
Note! Remember that normal cleaning of treatment surfaces achieves a 50 to 80%

reduction in the number of microorganisms. Effective disinfection achieves a statistically
significant reduction of at least 84 to 99.9%. (Source: RKI)
When using disinfectants, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with regard to concentration and how
long to leave the disinfectant to take effect.

MODULA Paris
Caution! Following disinfection, the components of the nebuliser, water jet and silicone
tubing should be rinsed until free of residues.
As with other instruments, all auxiliary devices and associated instruments (e.g. ear irrigation cannulae,
instrument trays, dishes for discarded instruments, etc.) should be regularly sterilised or disinfected. This
includes water jet cannulae, the nebuliser drug vial nebulisers and the silicone suction tubing.
5.2 Changing the bacteria filter
For hygiene reasons, the suction system outlet is fitted with a

bacteria filter. This is located at the rear of the left side of the unit.
Caution! Please dispose of contaminated waste

correctly.
To change the filter, disconnect the two silicone hoses from the filter
and then connect the hoses with the new filter. The flow direction is
not important.
Caution! Use gloves, the filter may be contaminated.
It is recommended to change the filter once a year or as needed.

5.4 Replacing the waste bag
For hygiene reasons, check the waste bag at the end of every day and dispose of it if it is even part full.
Caution! Pay attention to the proper disposal of contaminated waste!
5.5 Optical cable
If your unit has one or more cold light sources, a range of lenses can be attached to the cold light adaptor via
an optical cable. The light adaptors have a STORZ connector. Optional detachable light outputs for
connecting Storz, Wolf, Olympus and Pentax connectors are available. The optical cable is simply inserted or
removed. No additional tools are required.
Fig. 29: Outputs for cold light sources
There is a pre-set locking screw beneath the cable connector. This can also be used to adjust the force with
which the locking screw secures the cable. To fix the optical cable more tightly in the connector, carefully
tighten the screw and check the force required. To fix the optical cable less tightly, carefully loosen the
screw.
A range of optional optical cable adaptors (Wolf, Storz, Olympus, etc.) can be ordered separately.
5.6 Replacing the halogen lamp
Caution! Always switch off at the main power switch before replacing the halogen lamp.
Unplug the treatment unit at the mains. To check that the unit is not under electrical
tension, turn it on at the main power switch.
Caution! Allow the halogen lamp to cool for at least 15 minutes before replacing, as it
may be very hot.

MODULA Paris
To replace the halogen lamp you will require a screwdriver able to

unscrew both screws (fig. 30). Open the side cover.
The device must be permitted to cool down before replacing

defective halogen lamps, as the lamps may be very hot. Use only
lamps which conform to the device specifications.
Fig. 30: Left side cover
Caution! Use only 15 V/10 A halogen lamps.
To remove a halogen lamp, pull off the cable (fig. 31) and then pull

6 Hygiene
Bear in mind that the tap water used by the unit for warm water irrigation is low in micro-organisms, but is not
sterile. (36 - 42% of nosocomial Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are traceable to tap water primarily
contaminated at the tap (Source: RKI, Gesundheitsschutz 4/2004). To protect yourself and patients, we
therefore recommend incorporating a downstream sterile filter.
We also offer an optional water purification filter (lifespan 4 weeks) for insertion between the water
handpiece and cannula.
The following basic principles should be observed when working with the ENT treatment unit:
 wipe the unit at least daily with a suitable cleaning agent (for recommended cleaning agents, see
page …)
 after each patient, replace all instruments, handpieces, instrument trays, etc. used with disinfected or
sterile items (for recommended cleaning agents, see page …)
 on units with a water tank, always use fresh, cold tap water only and check the water level in the tank
 clean the tube rinsing system with a non-foaming disinfectant daily (for recommended disinfectants,
see page …)
 empty the waste receptacle daily
 empty the suction reservoir
Note! Over-dilute or ineffective disinfectant solutions can become sources of infection,

particularly with gram-negative bacterial (especially enterobacteriaceae, pseudomonads),
especially when prepared in contaminated containers and stored for long periods.
Exact dosing of disinfectants is required for effective disinfection and to prevent selection of micro-organisms
and development of disinfectant resistance. (Source: RKI)
