The filter is produced with (PTFE) hydrophobic material witch prevents fluids entering the pneumatic circuit.
When the filter is wet, it's not possible to use the unit therefore the filter should be changed immediately. In case of possible contamination or
discolouration, change the filter immediately.
Don't use the suction unit without the protection filter fitted. If the suction unit is used in an emergency or in a patient where the risk of
contamination is not know the filter must be changed after each use. Available under request with different versions with complete jar 2000cc.
Suction catheter: Single-use device to be used on a single patient. Do not wash or re-sterilize after use.
Reuse may cause cross-infections. Don't use after lapse of the sell-by date
WARNING: Suction tubes for insertion in the human body purchased separately from the machine should comply with ISO 10993-1
standards on material biocompatibility.
The NEW ASKIR 20 suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication.
It is necessary to check functioning and instrument before every use. Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and feeding
cable, they might have been damaged during previous use. Connect cable to electrical network and turn switch on. Close the aspirator outlet with your
finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum position check that the vacuum indicators reaches -75kPa (-0.75 bar) minimum.
Rotate the knob from right to left and check the aspiration regulating control. The vacuum indicator should go down -25kPa (-0.25 bar). Verify that loud
noises are not present, these can indicate wrong functioning. A protection fuses (F 1 x 1.6 A 250V) reachable from exterior and situated in the plug
protects the instrument. For fuses replacing, always the type and the range.
Type of fault
1. The suction unit doesn't work
2. No aspiration
3. No aspiration
4. The Vacuum power on the patient
side is either very low or absent
5. The float doesn't close
6. The float doesn't close
7. Low suction
Faults 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7
If the overfill security system it's activated, don't proceede with the liquid aspiration.
If the overfill security system doesn't work there are two cases:
1° case – If the overfill security system doesn't work the aspiration will be stopped by the bacteriological filter who avoid the liquid penetration inside the
device.
2° case – If both the security system doesn't work, there is the possibility that liquid comes inside the device, in this case return the device to CA-MI
technical service.
BEFORE EVERY CHECKING OPERATION, IN CASE OF ANOMALIES OR BAD FUNCTIONING, PLEASE CONTACT CA-MI
TECHNICAL SERVICE.
CA-MI DOES NOT GIVE GUARANTEE IF INSTRUMENT, AFTER THE TECHNICAL SERVICE CHECKING, APPEARS TO BE
TAMPERED.
