2.1 Purpose
ACCUVAC Basic is a mobile and portable electri-
cally powered aspirator (suction pump).
It is used for:
• aspirating accumulations of blood, secretions
and food from the oral cavity, the nose and
throat region and the bronchial system;
• deflating vacuum mattresses and inflatable
splints.
ACCUVAC Basic:
• can when used by a skilled operator eliminate
obstruction of the respiratory tract and hence
the risk of respiratory failure;
• cuts energy consumption by reducing power
output on reaching the necessary vacuum;
• can optionally be powered by a rechargeable
internal power pack;
• or by an external DC source supplying 12.0 -
13.8 V;
• is also suitable for use in wards.
ACCUVAC Basic must not be used:
• in medical rooms where potential equalization
is necessary (e.g. heart surgery);
• in explosion-risk areas.
2.2 Function
An electrically operated diaphragm pump generates
the vacuum necessary for aspiration.
Use the vacuum control 2 to set the desired vacuum,
which is continuously variable between –0.05 bar
and –0.8 bar. You can read off the set value on the
pressure gage 1.
The aspirated material passes via the aspiration tube
36 into the disposable collection canister 7.
Disposable collection canister
The disposable collection canister 7 consists of the
collection canister 24 itself, the disposable collection
bag 21 with intermediate tube 20, the aspiration tube
with fingertip 19, the T-piece 23 and the vacuum tube
22.
The disposable collection canister 7 is inserted in the
holder 25 screwed on the side of the motor unit 8.
The vacuum tube 22 of the disposable canister 24 is
pushed onto the suction port 14 of the motor unit 8.
