5.1 Preparing for aspiration
Tip: When using the re-usable collection canister you will
find it makes cleaning considerably easier if you
place approx. 50 to 100 ml disinfectant or even wa-
ter in the bottom of the canister before starting as-
piration. This prevents the aspirated matter from
adhering so firmly to the bottom of the canister.
1. Unwind the aspiration tube from the tube holder
plate.
2. If necessary, adapt the end-piece of an aspira-
ting catheter of a suitable size for tracheal, bron-
chial or nasopharyngeal aspiration.
3. Press the button marked
O/I. The lower green
LED for the power indicator and the green LED
for the
O/I button lights up.
Do not switch on ACCUVAC Basic while there is
still a vacuum. This would cause the pump motor
to draw too much current when switching on,
which could actuate fuse F101.
4. Set the desired vacuum at the vacuum control.
Turn the controller to the right to increase the
vacuum, or to the left to reduce it.
