Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and the
antennas themselves) must not be used at a distance of less than 30 cm (12 inches) from any part
of the OB 2012, including the cables specified by the manufacturer. Failure to comply with this
may reduce unit performance.
• Caution: Never use this unit near or on top of other equipment as it could result in improper
operation. If such use proves necessary, always check that this unit and other equipment
function properly.
• Caution: use of accessories, external power supplies, transducers, and cables other than
those specified or supplied by the manufacturer of this medical device may result in increased
electromagnetic emissions or decreased device electromagnetic immunity and cause the unit
to function incorrectly.
CONTAMINATED
DEVICE
• Warning: Device contamination. If the suction unit is used following these instructions, with
the original jar and antibacterial filter, the suction unit will not become contaminated.
Nevertheless, if the substances sucked up have entered the device, the suction unit must be
taken out of service immediately. Sending a contaminated suction unit to the manufacturer,
installer or service centre is strictly forbidden. The risk of spreading a pandemic is high and
must be avoided.
• Any device received in such conditions will be rejected and the health authorities will be
notified of the risk of possible contamination. In this case, the term contaminated indicates
a suction unit that has not been disinfected and cleaned of the secretion aspirated from the
patient. If the aspirated substances have entered the suction unit, it must be demolished. For
Boscarol, the safety of its employees and authorized service centre personnel is of primary
importance. If the suctions units are contaminated, they cannot be demolished according to
the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive, as this would result in a
possible risk of infection (international law regarding worker protection must be applied,
where applicable).
• When in doubt, before sending a device in for repair, send an e-mail to the Boscarol technical
service at info@boscarol.it or call +39 0471 932893
REUSE OF
DISPOSABLE
• Caution: reuse of disposable parts can compromise suction unit function and be a source of
contamination — whether direct or indirect — for operator and patient.
• Sterilization and/or cleaning of disposable parts (antibacterial filters, suction tubes, Yankauer
suction catheters, etc.) can cause structural damage and thus result in a loss of mechanical
integrity.
SLA BATTERY
• Before using the suction unit for the first time (and/or after having received it), the internal
battery must be placed under continuous charge for at least 16 hours.
• Recharge the suction unit immediately if only one or none of the LEDs go on.
• Leaving the device always connected to the vehicle power supply (12÷15 Vdc) will not
damage it.
• The battery cannot be replaced by the operator.
