General Description
SSCOR suction units are designed for hospital crash carts, patient transport and emergency medical service. Battery
condition is automatically monitored and visualized by indicator lights on the control panel. The battery should be charged
to a dependable working charge in 6 to 8 hours when connected to the charging source. Suction power can be regulated
when full power may be considered harmful to the patient. SSCOR suction units are designed to provide instant, effective
suctioning, independent of external sources of power and can be pre-set to be activated immediately upon reaching the
distressed patient. All controls are clearly labeled and easily accessible.
The SSCOR Duet is a portable, 100V-240V AC constant suction device, with a 12V DC battery back-up. The battery is
charged by an internal, DC dual mode battery charger. The charger monitors the battery, charges the battery only when
necessary, shuts down the unit if the battery is low and signals battery condition. A fully charged battery at full capacity will
power the unit for 45 minutes (±10%).

Preventive Maintenance
Perform the following preventive maintenance procedure at least annually.
1. When applicable, check the canister to determine if the expiration date has passed. If the
expiration date has passed, replace the canister.
2. Test the health of the battery:
A. Plug the device in to charge for at least 8 hours before testing. The battery condition LED on the control panel should
light green when the device is plugged in and the battery is fully charged.
B. To begin the test, make sure the tubing from the device to the canister is connected to the canister (1) and the canister
lid is secure (2). Unplug the device from the external power source and turn the device on.
C. Allow the device to run un-occluded. The device should run for at least 42 minutes if the battery has full capacity. If the
battery does not run for at least 42 minutes, consider replacing the battery (SSCOR Part # 80635). Replacement battery
may be purchased at shop.sscor.com.
D. At the end of the run test, turn the device off and reconnect the device to the charging source.
For a further explanation of the SSCOR battery run test, visit the SSCOR Website at:
http://www.sscor.com/training_videos.html
3. Determine if the gauge is properly calibrated.
After the battery has been fully charged (when the battery condition LED on the control panel is green), connect tubing from
the patient port of the canister to a calibrated negative pressure test gauge. Adjust the vacuum pressure of the suction
device so the gauge on the calibrated negative pressure test gauge reads 150mmHg and read the corresponding reading
on the suction device gauge. The gauge on the suction device should be 150mmHg +/- 19mmHg or between 131mmHg –
169mmHg.
If your gauge is out of calibration, you may need a new gauge (SSCOR Part #22006) or a new regulator and gauge assembly
(SSCOR Part #22012-KIT2314).

Preventive Maintenance
4. Check the airflow
A. Connect tubing from the patient port of the canister to a calibrated airflow meter. Ensure the regulator gauge is adjusted
to the high setting (fully turned clockwise) and turn the device on. The reading on the calibrated airflow meter should be
above 30 LPM.
B. If the device does not produce 30 LPM check to ensure all tubing connections are tight, the canister lid is securely
fastened to the canister and all the port covers on the canister lid are secure.
C. If your device does not produce at least 30 LPM airflow check the airflow before the canister, at the union barb fitting at
the top of the device (3). The airflow at the union barb fitting should be at least 48 LPM.
D. If the tubing from the device to the canister is clamped to the device (4), remove the tubing from the patient port of the
canister and take the reading at the distal end of the tubing (5). The airflow at the distal end of the tubing should be at
least 48 LPM.
E. If the device still does not meet the airflow specification, call SSCOR technical support (1-800-434-5211 or 1-818-504-
4054) to trouble shoot.
After these tests are complete, plug the device in to charge before releasing the device back to the floor. The battery
condition LED on the control panel should light green when the device is plugged in and the battery is fully charged.
If your device fails to meet any of these specifications or if you have any questions, call SSCOR technical support at 1-800434-5211 or 1-818-504-4054.
