5. Preparing of the equipment for its use
The V7 suction unit is supplied assembled with the exception of the lowest suction
tubes to allocate the bacteria filter between the suction unit and the collection bottle;
afterwards the equipment will be ready to be used. (see Chapter 5.1.).
The collector jar, the suctioning tubes and the bacteria filter are the only components
that have to be changed for each patient and are easily removable. On assembling
the equipment, special care has to be taken to respect the direction of the suctioning
flow that is identified and recorded in the collector jar.
Never operate the unit without bacterial filter, the unit could be damaged
Do not forget to check the correct operation voltage
5.1. Previous assembly procedure
1. Connect the 5cm tube between the bacteria filter and the input of the suction unit.
2. Connect the 15cm tube between the bacteria filter and the outlet VACUUM of the
collection bottle.
3. Put the suction tube (1.5mx8mm) between the outlet PATIENT of the collection
bottle and the suction terminal and roll it in the tube location of the unit.
4. Connect the electric power cable as required by the model.
5. Switch on the unit (ON/OFF switch).
6. Collapse the flow twisting the suction tube and checking the vacuum meter to test
that the unit makes vacuum without any leakage and that this level varies when
the vacuum regulator is acted on.
7. (Only in models with battery) Check the battery level while in function; in case of
need, leave it connected to a power supply during the time needed (the full
charge of a new battery that is run down is five hours).
8. Switch off the unit (ON/OFF switch).
5.2. Final assembling for a specific patient
1. Connect the suction terminal to a suction catheter specific for this application and
patient.
2. Switch-on the unit (ON/OFF SWITCH).
3. Obstruct the flow in the suction catheter and adjust the level of vacuum
prescribed in the vacuum-meter turning the vacuum regulator control knob.
4. The unit is ready to put the suctioning catheter to the patient.
