4.2 Replace the Canister
Note: It is recommended to replace the Canister when it is 3/4 full.
When liquid reaches the top of the Canister, the LSU will not suction
any more liquid. If overflow of liquid from the Canister into the pump
is suspected, contact a Laerdal Service Center for advice (see section 6).
Overflow of suctioned material can damage the device.
To remove the Canister, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the Angled Connector
from the Vacuum Port on the Lid.
Connect the “suction end” of the
Patient Suction Tubing to the
Vacuum Port to avoid spillage.
2. To release the Canister Holder, press down the Canister Holder Release Arm
while sliding the Holder towards you. Remove the Canister from the Holder.
3. Safely dispose of the contents of the Canister according to local protocols.
4. Replace parts according to section 3.3.
5. Install the Canister in the Holder, slide the Holder into position and con-
nect tubing to the Canister. Ensure the lid is properly sealed.
