4.INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE SUCTION SYSTEM
Liner use
4.1The ST80 suction system uses a jar and disposable
liner system. The leaflet (S-IM08) supplied with the unit
explains how to use them.
NOTE: Graduations are approximate; suitable volume
measuring equipment should be used if accurate
assessment is required (e.g. the CMV see S-IM08).
Starting the unit
4.2Connect unit to mains electrical supply and if supply
socket is controlled by a switch, ensure it is switched ‘ON’.
4.3Ensure installation stages 3.3 to 3.8 have been
followed then start the vacuum pump by turning the mains
switch (item 6, Fig. 1) to ‘l’. Adjust the Vacuum to the
required level as detailed in section 4.4.
Note: Before using the suction unit for the first time, the
suction performance can be checked quickly by switching
on the unit and placing a finger over the end of the
connecting tube (item 19, Fig. 1). The vacuum gauge
reading should move quickly to approximately 620 mm Hg
(atmosphere at 760 mm Hg) with vacuum control valve
turned to maximum setting.

environmental protection from contaminated suction pump
exhaust. Should the hydrophobic filter become wetted it
will prevent fluid passing into the pump but still allow suction
to continue. Only when the filter upper chamber is full of
fluid, will suction cease. The second filter, the bacterial type
shown below, provides improved protection against

4.4T o set the required vacuum on this suction unit switch
the mains switch ‘ON’ (mains switch to ‘1’), place a finger
over the nozzle (patient inlet) of the liner to which the
"patient" tubing connects, then turn the vacuum control
valve (item 7, Fig. 1) clockwise or anticlockwise to increase
or decrease the suction until the desired vacuum is
indicated on the vacuum gauge.
4.5When applying suction to the patient it may be
desirable to increase or decrease the suction rate. This is
achieved by turning the vacuum control valve clockwise to
increase or counter-clockwise to decrease suction.
Overflow protection
4.6Aspiration should be stopped when level of fluid
reaches approximately the 3/4 full mark, but in the event
of accidental overfilling the float valve will close shutting
off vacuum to the liner .
Pump protection
4.7The sealed disposable filter, of either type, must be
changed after each day’s use or immediately if wetted or
after aspiration of infective fluids. The hydrophobic/bacterial
filter shown provides total environmental protection pump
protection from body fluids together with improved
WARNING
Do not use substitutes for the specified sealed
disposable filters see parts list on page 4.
