DANGER
The Heavy Duty Suction Pump is a vacuum suction device designed for the collection of nonflammable fluid materials in medical applications only. Improper use during medical applications can
cause injury or death.
For all medical applications:
1. All suctioning should be done in strict accordance with appropriate procedures that have been
established by a licensed medical authority.
2. Some aachments or accessories may not fit the tubing supplied. All aachments or accessories should be checked prior to use to assure proper fit.
2. AC POWER SOURCE
!
CAUTION
Item # 18600 is used with a power supply allowing operation on AC voltage (115 VAC, 60 Hz).
However the correct power source must be used to connect to adaptable wall power.
3. ELECTRICAL
Compressor
If the overload protector shuts off the motor frequently, you may have a low voltage situation.
Low voltage can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Other motor operated appliances fail to operate properly. Too many motor operated appliances on same circuit.
!
NOTE
The motor of this compressor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats, the overload protector will shut off the motor. If this occurs, turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position
and allow the motor to cool (approximately 5 minutes). Restart compressor. If the compressor
fails to start, wait an additional 5 minutes before aempting to restart. If this fails, inspect the
fuses on your suction unit. If the unit still does not restart, call your medical equipment provider

set up & operation
1. Connect either end of the connecting tubing (item# 9) to the top of collection bottle connector
then connect the other end to the bacteria lter.
2. The patient tubing should be connected to collection bottle at the outlet labeled (patient).
Please assure that all connections are secure and without leaks before using.
7. HOW TO OPERATE YOUR HEAVY DUTY SUCTION PUMP
1. Before use, check the specication label on the side of the suction unit to ensure that the voltage and current indicated on the unit correspond with the voltage and current available. Make
sure the power switch located on the side of the unit is in the “Off” position before connecting
the unit to a power source.
2. Switch the power switch to “I” position (on), the unit start running.
1. Off position 2. On position
3. Adjust the vacuum level from 0 to 560 mm Hg by turning the vacuum adjust knob (clockwise
to increase vacuum and counter-clockwise to decrease vacuum). Referring to the vacuum gauge
while setting the desired level of vacuum. To accurately read the gauge, block the patient end of
the hose or cap off the collection bottle and allow the gauge to reach a stable vacuum reading.
set up & operation
4. Place the patient tubing to the appropriate position of patient and start to suck sputum.
5. When the sputum reaches the safe full level of collection bole (800 cc), the suctioning will
stop sucking automatically (float shut-off).
6. Switch the power switch to “O” position (off), shut off the suction motor.
7. Remove the sputum from collection bole aer the motor stops turning completely. (Please
refer to the section “CLEAN INSTRUCTIONS” on page 9 for the directions of how to clean the
collection bole).
8. Turn on the unit and start to run the suction unit again.
!
NOTE
1. If the unit sustains a severe drop, validity of the gauge must be checked. Inspect if the float
shut-off is still functioning properly when the liquid in the collection bole reaches the safe full
level.
2. Always transport unit with vacuum adjust knob rotated fully clockwise in case unit is dropped.
8
!
CAUTION
1. When automatic float shut-off is activated, contents of the collection boles should be emptied. Further suctioning could cause damage to the vacuum pump.
2. Should fluid be aspirated back into the unit, send your suction to an authorized service center
for a detailed inspection as the vacuum pump may have been damaged.
cleaning
Clean Collection Bole:
1. Turn off the suction unit and allow vacuum to drop, then disconnect AC power source.
2. With the collection bole still in the holder, remove the collection bole lid. The bole can now
be taken out of the holder to be emptied.
!
NOTE
Collection bole should be emptied aer each use.
3. Collection bole should be thoroughly cleaned aer each use by one of the following three
methods:
