1. Description
1.1 Purpose
ACCUVAC Basic is a mobile and portable electrically
powered aspirator (suction pump).
It is used for:
• aspirating accumulations of blood, secretions and
food from the oral cavity, the nose and throat
region and the bronchial system;
• deflating vacuum matresses and inflatable splints.
ACCUVAC Basic:
• can when used by a skilled operator eliminate
obstruction of the respiratory tract and hence the
risk of respiratory failure;
• cuts energy consumption by reducing power
output on reaching the necessary vacuum;
• can optionally be powered by a rechargeable
internal power pack;
• or by an external DC source supplying 12.0 -
13.8 V;
• is also suitable for use in wards.
ACCUVAC Basic must not be used:
2 Description
• in medical rooms where potential equalization is
necessary (e.g. heart surgery);
• in explosion-risk areas.

An electrically operated diaphragm pump generates
the vacuum necessary for aspiration.
Use the vacuum control 2 to set the desired vacuum,
which is continuously variable between –0.05 bar
and –0.8 bar. You can read off the set value on the
pressure gage 1.
The aspirated material passes via the aspiration tube
19 into the disposable collection canister 7.
Disposable collection canister
The disposable collection canister 7 consists of the collection canister 24 itself, the disposable collection bag
21, the aspiration tube with fingertip 19, the interme-
diate tube 20, the T-piece 23 and the vacuum tube 22.
The disposable collection canister 7 is inserted in the
holder 25 screwed on the side of the motor unit 8.
The vacuum tube 22 of the disposable canister 24 is
pushed onto the suction port 14 of the motor unit 8.
The aspirated material passes through the aspiration
tube 19 into the disposable collection bag 21. The disposable collection bag is intended for once-only use.
When it is full, you can remove it from the collection
canister 24 and dispose of it complete with contents.
An overflow valve filter is integrated in the disposable
collection bag 21. This prevents secretions and liquid
from finding their way into the motor unit 8 and passing
into the environment via the muffler 13.
Description 3
Power supply
Power for operating the appliance and charging the
power pack can be drawn:
• from the built-in power pack 17.
• from a 12-volt electrical cable system, using the
connecting cable WM 10650 which is available
as an accessory.
• from the mains and charger unit WM 2645
which is available as an accessory.
Important The AC adapter/charger plug 11 supplied with the
appliance is only designed for charging the power
pack with the appliance switched off. It must not be
used to operate the appliance itself, as this will overload it and cause it to overheat.
The voltage indicator 3 shows the charge status of the
power pack.
Charging of the power pack starts automatically as
soon as the appliance is switched off and connected
to an external power supply (see “10. Technical Data”
on page 37).

2.2 Safety rules
For your own safety and the safety of your patients,
and in accordance with the requirements of the
93/42/EEC, we would draw your attention to the
following points:
• Please read these operating instructions carefully.
They belong to the appliance and must be kept
available at all times.
• Before working with ACCUVAC Basic, you must
understand how to use it.
• Be sure to observe these operating instructions
when working with ACCUVAC Basic.
Safety 5
• To avoid infection or contamination with bacteria
please read section “5. Hygienic preparation” on
page 19.
• ACCUVAC Basic may only be used by trained
staff instructed in aspiration techniques. Incorrect
use can cause serious bodily harm.
• ACCUVAC Basic must be used for the designated
purpose only (see “1.1 Purpose” on page 2).
• Maintenance operations such as inspection and
repair work must be performed by expert personnel or by the manufacturer Weinmann.
• Malfunctions and a lack of biocompatibility may
result if third-party articles are used. Please bear in
mind that in these cases any warranty entitlement
and liability shall lapse where the accessories recommended in the instructions for use or original
spare parts are not utilised.
• During the aspiration process, take particular care
not to cause injuries to the patient’s mouth or
throat, e.g. to mucous membrane.
The suction can be interrupted by briefly opening
the fingertip, for example if the nozzle becomes
firmly attached to the skin.
• Ensure sterile conditions during bronchial aspiration, and always use sterile catheters.
6 Safety
Important! • The disposal of liquids such as blood and secre-
tions and any items contaminated with such liquids
should be carried out according to the national
guidelines for hygiene.
• The ACCUVAC Basic should only be operated in
the upright position, in order to prevent liquid from
wetting the overflow valve filter integrated in the
disposable collection bag 21. If this happens, the
overflow valve filter becomes impermeable to air
and the disposable collection bag 21 has to be
changed.
• The AC adapter/charger plug supplied is only for
recharging the power pack when the appliance is
switched off. It must not be used for operating the
appliance itself, as this will overload it and cause
it to overheat.
• To extend its service life, the power pack 17 must
not be allowed to become fully discharged. If the
red charge control LED 3 lights up, it is time to recharge immediately.
• To eliminate the risk of fully discharging the power
pack, ACCUVAC Basic must never be stored in
an uncharged condition. Always recharge the
power pack first as described in “4.4 Charging
ACCUVAC Basic” on page 16.
• Lead cell power packs discharge even during nonuse. The rate of auto-discharge increases with rising temperature and amounts to about 20 % after
three months’ non-use at 20 °C. For this reason be
sure to carry out functional checks at the specified
intervals (see “6. Functional check” on page 23).
• Never sterilize the motor unit 8 in an autoclave.
• Never dip the motor unit 8 in disinfectant solution.
• We recommend keeping alternative means of
aspiration ready in case of appliance failure.
• Do not use mobile telefones right beside
ACCUVAC Basic.
ACCUVAC Basic can however be operated
without any problem in the back of an ambulance
even if a mobile telephone is being used in the
cab.

which could actuate fuse F2 16.
4. Set the desired vacuum at the vacuum control 2.
For this purpose, close the fingertip with the stopper and the suction opening with your thumb.
Wait until the pressure gage 1 shows a constant
vacuum. Now use the vacuum control 2 to set the
desired vacuum.
ACCUVAC Basic is now ready for operation, and you
can start aspiration.
Operation 13
4.2 Aspiration
Important Make sure that ACCUVAC Basic is always upright
During the aspiration process, take care not to cause
any injury to the patient’s mouth and throat region, and
especially to mucous membrane.
• The fingertip can be opened to interrupt suction
briefly, e.g. if the nozzle is clinging to the skin.
You can leave the fingertip open all the time and
keep your thumb over it. To release the suction all
you have to do is lift your thumb.
during operation so that the overflow valve filter integrated in the disposable collection bag 21 is not wetted by secretion. If the overflow valve filter is wetted
with secretion, it becomes impermeable and the disposable collection bag 21 has to be replaced.
During aspiration, keep an eye on the fluid level in the
disposable collection bag 21 and replace it with a
new one in good time.
14 Operation
Important Be sure to check the power pack charge level at regu-
lar intervals during aspiration. If the red LED on the
voltage indicator 3 lights up, aspiration should be continued with a second appliance. Using the appliance
beyond this point can damage the power pack by
discharging it completely, with the result that its full
capacity will no longer be available.
Disposal of disposable collection bag
1. Pull the end of the aspiration tube with fingertip 19
off the port.
2. Detach the intermediate tube 20 from the T-piece
23 of the collection canister 24.
