Introduction
For decades
WEINMANN has been developing,
manufacturing and marketing appliances for emer
-
gency medical treatment,
oxygen therapy and
inhalation
therapy.
In 1986
WEINMANN launched the first
ACCUVAC
aspirator on the market.
The improved
ACCUVAC
Basic
aspirator pro
-
vides users with an appliance that is an indispen
-
sable aid in many emergency health care situa
-
tions. The
ACCUVAC
Basic
is primarily intended
for oral or transtracheal aspiration of secretion.
Aspiration is indicated in particular for tracheoto
-
my patients undergoing respiration.
The indications include:
•
Neuromuscular disorders, e.g. paraplegia,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
•
Late symptoms of polio
• Muscular dystrophies
• Cystic fibrosis
• Kyphoskoliosis and posttubercular syndrome
• Chronic obstructive lung diseases, e.g. severe
chronic bronchitis
• Pulmonary fibrosis, e.g. silicosis
• Other forms of alveolar hypoventilation
Using the ACCUVAC Basic aspirator gives the
user more time to look after the patient and perform
other measures.
The purpose of these Service and Repair Instruc-
tions is to make sure you as an expert specialist are
familiar with the ACCUVAC Basic aspirator: its
functionality and technology and how to repair it.
Combined with training you have already re-
ceived from WEINMANN, this makes you a mem-

instruction, remedy faults independently, perform
the final checks specified in the Operating Instruc-
tions, and carry out any repairs in accordance with
these Service and Repair Instructions.
In the event of a warranty claim the ACCUVAC Basic
aspirator is to be sent to WEINMANN.
