•
Disconnect the jar from the device
•
Disconnect all tubes from the jar and the protection filter
•
Empty and dispose of the content and of the suction catheter according to the laws in force in your country;
•
Separate all parts of the cover (overflow valve, o-ring);
After disposing of disposable parts and disassembling the jar wash in running cold water and rinse thouroughly.
Then soak in warm water (temperature shall not exceed 60°C).
Wash thouroughly and if necessary use a non-abrasive brush to remove incrustations.
Rinse in running warm water and dry all parts with a soft cloth (non-abrasive).
The jar and the cover can be autoclaved by placing the parts into the autoclave and running one sterilization stem cycle at 121°C
(1 bar relative pressure) making sure that the jar is positioned upsidedown.
Mechanical resistance of the jar is guaranteed up to 30 cycles of sterilization and cleaning at the indicated conditions
(EN ISO 10079-1). Beyond this limit the physical-mechanical characteristics of the plastic may decrease and replacement of the part is therefore
recommended.
After sterilization and cooling at environment temperature of the parts make sure that these are not damaged.
Assemble the jar as follows:
•
Place the overflow valve into its seat in the cover (under VACUUM connector)
•
Insert floating valve keeping the o-ring towards the opening of the cage
•
Place the o-ring into its seat around the cover
•
After completing assembling operations always make sue that cover seals perfectly to avoid vacuum leackages or liquid exit
The aspiration tubes can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 120°C.
The conical connector can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C.
The device is ready for a new employment now.
DO NOT WASH, STERILIZE OR PUT IN AUTOCLAVE THE ANTIBACTERIAL FILTER
The suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication.
It is, however, necessary to inspect the unit before each use. Unpack the instrument and always check the plastic parts for any damage that may
have occurred during prior use. Connect cable to electrical network and turn switch on.
Close the aspiration outlet with your finger and with suction regulator at maximum check that the vacuum position reaches at least -80 kPa (-0.80
bar) maximum. Rotate the knob from right to left and check the aspiration regulating control.
The vacuum indicator should go down to -40 kPa (-0.40 bar). Check that no loud noises are present.
A fuse (F 1x1.6A 250V) is located in the plug to protect the instrument. If required, replace with another or the correct type.
Fault type
1. The suction unit doesn't work
2. No aspiration
3. No aspiration
4. The Vacuum power on the patient
side is either very low or absent
5. The float doesn't close
6. The float doesn't close
7. Low suction
Faults 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7
Cause
Cable is damaged
External power source failure
Jar Cap badly screwed down
Lid seal not in its seat
a) Vacuum regulator set to minimum
b) Protection filter blocked or damaged
c) Connection tubes blocked, kinked or
disconnected
d) Shut-off valve blocked or damaged
e) Pump motor damaged
If the cap has been washed, ensure that
the float is not partially detached
The float it's covered by dirty material
Foam inside the jar
None of the remedies has achieved the
MAINTENANCE
Replace the cable
Check the external power source
Unscrewed the cap, then rescrew it correctly
Unscrew the cap and insert the seal properly in its seat
a) Turn the vacuum regulator clockwise and check the value of the
vacuum on the gauge
b) Replace the filter
c) Replace or reconnect the tubes, check the jar connections
d) Empty the jar, or disconnect the tube from the jar and unblock
the shut-off valve. The unit twill only work in the upright position
e) Refer to authorised service personnel
Insert the float into it's place
Unscrewed the cap, leave the and put in on autoclave
Fill the jar to 1/3 full of ordinary water
