Safety instructions 11
3. Safety instructions
For your own safety and the safety of your patients
and in accordance with the requirements of Direc-
tive 93/42/EEC, please note the following:
• Use the ACCUVAC Basic for the described pur-
pose only (see “2.1 Intended use” on page 7).
• Please read these instructions for use through
carefully. They are a constituent part of the de-
vice and must be available at all times.
• Before starting to work with ACCUVAC Basic,
you must understand how to operate it.
• ACCUVAC Basic should be used only if you are
medically qualified and have received training in
aspiration techniques. Severe physical damage
may be caused by incorrect use.
• Pay particular attention during aspiration to en-
sure that no injuries are caused to the patient’s
oropharyngeal cavities, e.g. to the mucous
membranes. You can briefly interrupt suction,
for example if the skin is aspirated, by opening
the fingertip regulator.
• For bronchial aspiration, work under sterile con-
ditions and use only sterile aspirating catheters.
• If you use disposable collection canisters, ensure
that tubes are connected correctly in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
• When working with the re-usable collection can-
ister, the appliance must be upright because
otherwise the ball in the overflow cutout cannot
reliably block the connection to the aspirator
and secretion may enter the aspirator. This may
damage the appliance.
