Operation
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to inappropriate material or untrained users!
Risk of injuries in the oral cavity and pharynx of the patient.
• Suction particularly carefully in the tracheal area.
• Thepatientmaysuerseriousinjuryiftoomuchvacuumisapplied.Turnthe
vacuum adjuster to set the vacuum to the required level. The vacuum gauge shows
the current vacuum level.
• Riskofsuocationwhensecretioncanistersystemisfull.
• Keep an eye on how full the secretion canister system is.
• Empty the secretion canister system as soon as it reaches half-full. When the
secretion canister system is full, you can no longer use the device for suction.
• Make sure that the suction hose is not kinked during suction. Otherwise, the suction
capacityappliedtothepatientwillbeinsucient.
• Insert the suction catheter as shown to you by the trained and instructed medical
professionals, and start the suction procedure.
• Control the suction procedure using the secondary air opening (
12
)onthengertip.
• ThehydrophobicDDSbacterialandvirallter/oversuctionstopsafelyprevents
liquid from getting into the pump. Nevertheless the rinsing canister must be
emptied when it is half full.
• Duetothedesignofthecanisterlid,theextractedsecretionowsalongthecanister
wall into the canister. This minimises foaming in the canister.
• Donotswitchothedeviceuntilyouhavenishedperformingsuction.
4.6 Hose rinsing
Dispose of the suction catheter and rinse the suction hose with clean water or disin-
fectant after every suction process. It is recommended to use an irrigation bottle in
which clean water can be carried.

• PriortoeachusecheckwhethertheDDSbacterialandvirallterisdryandclean.
ReplacetheDDSbacterialandvirallterwithanewDDSbacterialandvirallterifit
