3.1 Purpose
ACCUVAC Rescue is a mobile and portable electrically 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 Rescue:
• 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.
The ACCUVAC Rescue must not be used:
• in medical rooms where potential
equalization is necessary
(e.g. heart surgery);
• in explosion-risk areas.
3.2 Function
An electrically powered diaphragm pump gener-
ates the vacuum necessary for aspiration.
Use the vacuum control 2 to preselect the desired
vacuum between –0.05 bar and –0.8 bar. The
membrane keyboard 4 is illuminated so that you
can see the operating status even after dark.
Note
Once the preselected vacuum is reached, the pump
switches to standby. If the vacuum changes, the pump
starts up again to restore the vacuum to the preselect-
ed level.
The aspirated material passes through the aspira-
tion tube 27 into the collection canister.
Re-usable collection canister
The re-usable collection canister 6 is fixed to the
side of the motor unit and directly connected to the
suction port 13 of the motor unit 7. There is thus no
need for an intermediate tube.
A replaceable hydrophobic bacteria filter 20 in the
secretion cover 23 prevents bacteria and droplets
of moisture from finding their way into the motor
unit 7 and passing into the environment via the
muffler 12.
The bacteria filter is designed for multiple re-use
and sterilisation.
