The HOSPI PLUS SUCTION ASPIRATOR suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication. It is, however, necessary to inspect the unit before each use. With regard to training, given the information contained in the user manual and since it is easy to understand the said device, it doesn’t appear to be necessary. The device must be checked before each use in order to detect malfunctions and / or damage caused by transport and / or storage. Always check the integrity of the footswitch power cord. Connect cable to electrical network and turn switch on. Close the aspiration outlet with your finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum position check that the vacuum indicators reaches -90 kPa (-0.90 bar) maximum. Rotate the knob from right to left and check the aspiration regulating control. The vacuum indicator should go down -40 kPa (-0.40 bar). Verify that loud noises are not present, these can indicate wrong functioning. A protection fuses (F 1 x 4A L 250V) reachable from exterior and situated in the plug protects the instrument. For fuses replacing, always the type and the range. Before changing the fuse, disconnect the plug from the power supply socket. Internally, the device (only for devices fitted with a circuit board) is protected by a fuse (F 500mA L 250V) that cannot be reached from the outside, so please contact a technician authorised by the manufacturer for its replacement.

If this protection is triggered, turn the device off and disconnect the pipe connected to the vacuum jar (indicated with the word VACUUM) on its cover.
Place the unit on a flat, horizontal surface Connect one end of the short silicon tube, with antibacterial filter, to the suction connector on the lid of the jar. The other tube already connected to the filter has to be connected to the “VACUUM” jar outlet, where has been fixed the red float
(security float). When the 90% of the volume of the jar is reached there is the activation of the security float (the float close the aspiration connector on the jar) to avoid liquid penetration inside the device.
WARNING: Ensure that the FLUID SIDE or IN marker on the filter is on the side facing the collection jar lid and fitted into the “VACUUM”. A wrong connection causes immediate destruction in case of contact with sucked liquids

Connect the long silicon tube with the lid union still free and marked as “PATIENT”. Connect the conical junction for probe insertion with the free end of the long silicon tube. Insert the plug of the equipment feeding cable into a power socket. Press the ON/OFF button to start the medical equipment. To deal with foam formation within the tank, unscrew the tank lid and fill 1/3 of the tank with water (to make cleaning easier
and speed up depression while operating the equipment), place the lid on the jar.
While using the equipment, the suction tank should always be used vertically to avoid the intervention of the antireflux valve. In
case of intervention of this protection, switch the device off and disconnect the tube connected with the suction tank (the one
marked as “VACUUM”) on the same lid.
You can then detach all accessories and perform cleaning operations as described under “Cleaning accessories and internal
parts” below.
WARNING: The power supply cable plug is the element of separation from the electrical mains system: even if the units equipped with a special on / off switch button, the power supply plug must be kept accessible once the device is in use so as to allow a further method of disconnection from the mains supply system.

Using the footswitch control: Connect the footswitch control feeding cable with the plug marked as
After the device has been connected, all Leds are still off. When the ON/OFF button is pressed, all Leds are activated at once for 1 second (autotest). At the end of the autotest cycle, the ON/OFF button led will flash. Press the button marked as (---) to perform suction using the footswitch control and execute intermittence work cycles. Press the button marked as (-) to perform remote suction using the footswitch control (continuous suction). To stop suction just push on the footswitch control with strength.
Using the footswitch control and the flow deviator: If using equipment fitted with a flow deviator, users may direct suctioned liquids in any of the two collection tanks provided. Flow deviator comes with two complete suction kits (2 sets of tubes, 2 antibacterial and hydrophobic filters and two conical junctions). After the device has been connected, all Leds are still off. When the ON/OFF button is pressed, all Leds are activated at once for 1 second (autotest). At the end of the autotest cycle, the ON/OFF button led will flash. To decide which side to perform the suction from, press OUT LEFT or OUT RIGHT and the selected button led will show a blue light. Press the ON/OFF button again to start the suction cycle. If the device is set up for using the flow deviator, ensure the antibacterial filter has been positioned on both sides. Connect the footswitch control feeding cable with the plug marked as
Press the button marked as (---) to perform suction using the footswitch control and execute intermittence work cycles. Press the button marked as (-) to perform remote suction using the footswitch control (continuous suction). To stop suction just push on the footswitch control with strength. Press the ON/OFF button to stop the medical equipment. Before removing the feeding plug, ensure autotest has been performed on the panel.
Using FLOVAC® disposable collection system: Before connecting the disposable collection system, remove the blu ring fitted on the tank holder for a more comfortable insertion of the same container.
- After opening the package, fully stretch the bag and then flatten it concentrically to eliminate as much air as possible.
- Insert the bag and apply the cover to an appropriately sized reusable rigid container by pressing firmly around the entire
perimeter. Make sure that the system is completely sealed.
- Close the connector marked as “TANDEM” with the lid provided.
- Connect the power source of the vacuum to the VACUUM port equipped with specific reusable conical fitting with "male"
connection.
- Connect the patient tube to the PATIENT port of the cover
- Before use, check all closures and make sure there are no leaks, starting the aspiration source. If the bag expands to fully adhere
to the walls of the rigid container and the cover bends towards the inside of the glass, the system is not leaking.
- Start the aspiration and periodically check the filling level of the container. The overflow valve will cause the interruption of
aspiration if the aspirated fluids have reached the maximum filling level of the device.
- When the float valve intervenes signalling the device is too full, the suction source must be disconnected within no more than 5
minutes. Warning: The accidental inversion of connections may cause contamination for the operator and/or for the
vacuum generation equipment.
