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 – 15 min) 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.
The aspiration tubes can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).
The conical connector can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).
DO NOT WASH, STERILIZE OR PUT IN AUTOCLAVE THE ANTIBACTERIAL FILTER
The NEW ASKIR 30 suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication.
It is, however, necessary to inspect the unit before each use. With regard to training, given the information contained in the user
manual and since it is easy to understand the said device, it doesn't appear to be necessary.
Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and feeding cable, they might have been damaged during
previous use. Connect the cable to electrical network and turn the switch on.
Close the aspirator outlet with your finger and with suction regulator at maximum check that the vacuum indicators reaches at
least -80kPa (-0.80 bar). Rotate the knob from right to left. The vacuum indicator should go down -40kPa (-0.40 bar).
Check that no loud noises are present. A protection fuses (F 1 x 1.6 A L 250V) reachable from exterior and situated in the plug
protects the instrument. For fuses replacing, always the type and the range.
Before changing the fuse, disconnect the plug from the power supply socket.
Type of fault
1. No aspiration
2. No aspiration
3. The float doesn't close
4. The float doesn't close
5. The suction unit doesn't
wok
6. Low suction
7. No aspiation due to flow
leakage of mucus
8. The Vacuum power on the
patient side is either very
low or absent
Faults 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8
If the overfill security system it's activated, don't proceede with the liquid aspiration.
If the overfill security system doesn't work there are two cases:
1° case – If the overfill security system doesn't work the aspiration will be stopped by the bacteriological filter who avoid the liquid
penetration inside the device.
2° case – If both the security system doesn't work, there is the possibility that liquid comes inside the device, in this case return the
device to CA-MI technical service.
CA-MI Srl will provide upon request electric diagrams, components list, descriptions, setting instructions and any other information
that can help the technical assistance staff for product repair.
BEFORE EVERY CHECKING OPERATION, IN CASE OF ANOMALIES OR BAD FUNCTIONING, PLEASE CONTACT
CA-MI TECHNICAL SERVICE. CA-MI DOES NOT GIVE GUARANTEE IF INSTRUMENT, AFTER THE TECHNICAL
SERVICE CHECKING, APPEARS TO BE TAMPERED.
PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE CHECKS
Cause
Jar Cap not screwed on correctly
Lid seal not in its seat
If the cap has been washed, ensure
that the float is not partially
detached
The float it's covered by dirty
material
Cable is damaged
External power source failure
Foam inside the jar
Filter blocked
Vacuum regulator set to
minimum
Protection filter blocked or
damaged
Connection tubes blocked, kinked
or disconnected
Shut-off valve blocked or
damaged
Pump motor damaged
None of the procedures have
achieved the desired results
Remedy
Unscrew the cap, and re-screw it
Unscrew the cap and insert the seal properly in
its seat
Fit the float into it's place
Unscrewed the cap, leave the and put in on
autoclave
Replace the cable
Check the external power source
Fill the jar to 1/3 full of ordinary water
Replace filter
Turn the vacuum regulator clockwise and
check the value of the vacuum on the gauge
Replace the filter
Replace or reconnect the tubes, check the jar
connections
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
