Sponge cloth for FAM dispenser

01 · WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW OFTEN THEY SERVE

Reusable while they stay whole

They are the cellulose cloths of the FAM dispenser: they absorb the dose of product and evaporate it evenly under the regulating disc. The maker rates them reusable, which is the mailbox question: the same sponge takes several applications while it is whole and clean; it is replaced when it falls apart or gets contaminated. Before use, the dry sponge is moistened, wrung out and smoothed so it soaks up all the liquid.

02 · FIRST, THE LAW

In Spain there is no formic acid authorised for the FAM

The FAM is designed for Formivar®, authorised in Germany (Formivar 60 %) and Switzerland, and not available in Spain. In Spain, varroosis is treated with a veterinary medicine under the supervision of the holding's veterinarian (Royal Decree 608/2006), and none of the authorised formic acid medicines is applied with the FAM. These sponges make sense where product and device are authorised, as per the label and with gloves and goggles.

03 · HOW THEY FIT

Flat on the base, under the disc

The sponge lies spread on the dispenser base, no folds or cuts, with the lid and disc on top: any wrinkle changes the intended evaporation surface. Remove with gloves and store dry.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

Five sponges are supplied; dispenser and product come separately.
