5.3 Secretion vessel - 2000 ml (Fig. 3)
The secretion vessel set consists of an overflow valve, a vessel (1) in clear material (polycarbonate) and a blue plug (2). Connection:
connect one end of the 20 cm tube (8) to "VACUUM" connector of the blue top (2) and the other end connect it to the antibacterial filter
connector (7). Then connect one end of the 20 cm tube (8) to the free connector of the antibacterial filter (7) and the other end to the
"INLET" connector of the aspirator. The antibacterial filter also protects the aspiration circuit from any contaminating agents sucked in
during use. Do not use the aspirator without the antibacterial filter, because from a bacteriological point of view, it becomes dangerous for
the patient. Keep the device vertical to allow the overflow to function correctly. Connect one end of the 130 cm tube (9) to the "PATIENT"
connector of the blue cap (2), while at the other end to connect the disposable, sterile manual regulator (11) and connect the disposable,
sterile cannula (10) to this latter. All the components of the vessel can be sterilised using a conventional system in an autoclave at a
temperature of 121°C, or by boiling for 10 minutes. We recommend replacing the complete vessel at every 30 sterilisation cycles. Do not
overturn the vessel during use, in order to prevent the intervention of the non-return valve (3-4-5); should this occur, switch the aspirator
off and detach the tube connected to the antibacterial filter. Never use the aspirator without the secretion collection vessel and/or without
the antibacterial filter.
N.B.: If using chemical disinfectants, follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly.
• The cannula and the suction flow manual control are sterile, single use products and must be replaced after every application.
• The antibacterial single use filter must be replaced after every application.
• Never leave the appliance in water or submerged; clean the external casing of the appliance using only a damp cloth with detergent (non
abrasive).
ASPEED 3.0 does not need maintenance and/or lubrication, although it is required to perform some simple checks before each use:
• Check the integrity of the shell and the power supply cable.
• Using a finger, close the suction connector and verify that the vacuum level reaches -0.65 bar approx (-65 kPa).
• Verify that there is no disturbing noise that may be the symptom of a malfunction.
• Check that the cage is correctly positioned inside its housing. It must be aligned with the suction hole of the lid, so the valve of the float can
obstruct it when the sucked liquid is too much against the maximum quantity that can be assimilated by the vessel (fig. 2a and 3).
• Check that the float is mounted in the right position and that it is free to slide inside the cage (dirt and deposits can obstruct its movement).
PROBLEMS
