SUCTION PUMP KV--5
15
Single--use
suction liner
To prevent fluid from being drawn up to the pump, the single--use suction liners, available in 1 or 2 litre versions,
contain a mechanism to shut off the flow when the liner is overfilled. This mechanism is activated when contact
is made with aspirated fluid. The single--use liners also contain a solidifier to aid safe disposal.
Suction jar
The 1 and 2 litre suction jars are manufactured from polysulfone, allowing them to be autoclaved up to 137˚C
max. The suction jar is impact resistant.
Suction jar lid
The suction jar lid clips and where applicable the float mechanism, are autoclavable up to 137˚C max. The inlet
connection (from the endoscope) is marked with the word PATIENT, the outlet connection (to the filter) is marked
with the word VACUUM. An optional lid is available having an integral float mechanism for use without
single--use suction liners.
Suction tubing
The filter tubing supplied is silicone rubber, 6.0mm internal diameter, 12.0mm external diameter. The sterile
patient tubing supplied is PVC, 7.0mm internal diameter, 10.0mm external diameter. Use only tubing with the
specified dimensions, otherwise equipment malfunction may result.
The patient tube connects to a barbed connector on the suction jar cap and the filter tube has a removable 90˚
connector which is a push--fit into the suction jar cap.
Vacuum gauge Range: 0 to 100 kPa Accuracy: better than±2.5% of full scale
Olympus is continually developing its product range and reserves the right to alter the above specification without notice. The

7 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
7.1 Mechanical Operation
RefertoFigure7-1
The pump used in the KV-5 is a piston unit. The pump is connected to the suction jar by silicone tubing and has an
in-line microbial filter. A suction tube connects the endoscope or other devices to the suction jar. When the KV-5 is
switched on, a vacuum is created in the suction jar, which results in suction through the endoscope when the
appropriate endoscope control is operated, or through other devices. The vacuum level is controlled by a regulator
located on the front panel to which a vacuum gauge is connected. Air is dr awn through the pump and is then exhausted
to atmosphere, passing through the exhaust at the rear of the unit.
7.2 Electrical Operation
RefertoFigure7-2
Power is provided to the unit from the AC power supply by the power supply lead.
The power socket at the rear of the unit has an integral fuseholder through which power is supplied to the power switch.
When the power switch is switched to the ‘l’ position, power is supplied to the motor, enabling the pump to operate.
Technical information regarding this product is available on request to assist suitably qualified personnel with repairs.
