!SPECIFIC WARNINGS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS UNIT. DISASSEMBLY OR ATTEMPTED REPAIRS IF ACCOMPLISHED INCORRECTLY CAN CREATE ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. ONLY QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS SHOULD PERFORM SERVICING OF THIS SUCTION UNIT.

!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 attachments or accessories may not fit the tubing supplied. All attachments 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 attempting to restart. If this fails, inspect the fuses on your suction unit. If the unit still does not restart, call your medical equipment provider immediately.

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 filter.

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 specification 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 bottle (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 bottle after the motor stops turning completely. (Please refer to the section “CLEAN INSTRUCTIONS” on page 9 for the directions of how to clean the collection bottle).

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 bottle reaches the safe full level.

2.Always transport unit with vacuum adjust knob rotated fully clockwise in case unit is dropped.

!CAUTION

1.When automatic float shut-off is activated, contents of the collection bottles 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 Bottle:

1.Turn off the suction unit and allow vacuum to drop, then disconnect AC power source.

2.With the collection bottle still in the holder, remove the collection bottle lid. The bottle can now be taken out of the holder to be emptied.

!NOTE

Collection bottle should be emptied after each use.

3. Collection bottle should be thoroughly cleaned after each use by one of the following three methods:

a.Wash in a hot water/dishwashing detergent solution and rinse with clean, hot tap water. Then wash in one part vinegar to three parts hot water solution. Rinse with hot tap water and air dry.

b.Wash with rubbing alcohol and air dry

c.Wash with a commercial (bacterial-germicidal) disinfectant, follow disinfectant manufacturer’s recommended instructions and dilution rates carefully.
