SUCTION SETTING
To set the desired suction power use the manual control “4” (rotary multi-turn, maximum vacuum clockwise) with the relative
vacuum gauge “5” and, according to the same way but with the patient tubing closed, you can preset the maximum vacuum not to be
exceeded, before using the unit.
OVERFILL DEVICE
Every bottle has a specific overfill device which prevents the aspiration of liquid into the pump without stopping the unit but
interrupting the connection between bottle and vacuum pump.
This overfill device must be in good condition, well cleaned and efficient, with floating freely working.
The overfill device on the central column is only for safety’s sake.
CHANGING OVER AND EMPTYING OF THE BOTTLES
To change over the aspiration between the bottles you must:
1. Disconnect from the cap of the first bottle:
∗ The blue elastic connector (side “A” of the connection intermediate tubing between bottle and unit)
∗ The connector of patient tubing (P)
2. Insert them into the same points of the cap on the next bottle
To empty the full bottle you have to take it up in a vertical position (don't take it on the cap
) and then start emptying the liquid
through the hole for the connection of patient tubing.
Take away the cap only at the end for the final emptying.
BACTERIOLOGICAL FILTER WITH FUNCTION OF SUPPLEMENTARY OVERFILL
The bacteriological filter, able to stop even liquids and usable as a second safety overfill device, is a in-line filter device, reusable and
sterilizable (30 times by autoclave at 121°C for 20 min.) with retantion rating of 99,97% of all particules ≥ 0.3 micron.
The filter must be connected according to detail “F” and indications on the filter: it has a specific side to the vacuum, all the group
connections/tubing is made of silicon rubber, sterilizable, and so it can be assembled and disassembled very easily by means of a
simple pressure. During the cleaning the filter can’t be wet. Anyway, if the device works, the internal media filter must be dry
because otherwise stops completely the suction power.
When the filter is new (working at the maximum vacuum with the patient tubing opened) on the vacuum gauge you can see a vacuum
of 10-15 cmHg which raises while the media filter is getting obstructed (at the same time the suction power decreases). The filter
must be replaced after about 30 times (they can be more or less, according to the material aspirated, but in any case don’t exceed 50
times).
QUICK CHECKING OF TUBINGS, BOTTLES, GASKETS AND SO ON
To check tubing, bottles, caps, gaskets, and so on (not damaged or obstructed) it is advisable, each time you use the unit, to switch it
on reaching the maximum vacuum with patient tubing closed.
CLEANING, STERILIZATION, MAINTENANCE AND TRANSPORT
Attention: at the moment of sale the accessories (even reusable suction accessories – on request) are not sterile. Bottles with caps
(both unbreakable), tubing with connectors, gaskets, suction accessories, are sterilizable (by autoclave at 121°C for 20 min.) or by
means cold sterilizer solutions (i.e. Cydex). The bacteriological filter is sterilizable (by autoclave at 121°C for 20 min.) but can’t be
wet when cleaning. The supplementary overfill device, if necessary, can be sterilized by means cold sterilizer solutions (i.e. Cydex),
obviously you have to remove it first.
The unit may be cleaned with mild soap solution, but take great care that fluid does not enter the system. Wipe dry. When the unit is
not used keep it in a dry, dust-free area at room temperature and take care not to spill any liquid onto the system.
It is advisable to submit the unit for a periodic (annual) inspection, better to the manufacturer.
Move the equipment around the working area keeping it in vertical position and, for shipping or transport.
Check overfill device
Before using the equipment you have to verify the overfill device with the floating freely working and the inside gasket (better if
changed after a working period of 500 hours) well cleaned and in good conditions (to perform this control you can unscrew the ring
nut floating holder).
ATTENTION: REMEMBER THAT THE ASPIRATION GROUP COULD BE VERY HOT
Never operate on the pump: please, contact trained technical assistance.
DISPOSAL: all the materials, including consumer materials must be disposed off according to the different National Rules
