•
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.
Using the footswitch control: Connect the footswitch control feeding cable with the plug marked as "FOOTSWITCH CONTROL". 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 (0.2 sec ON / 0.8 sec OFF). 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 (0.2 sec ON / 0.8 sec OFF).
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 "FOOTSWITCH CONTROL". 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.
•
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.
•
Press the ON/OFF button to stop the medical equipment. Before removing the feeding plug, ensure autotest has been performed on the panel.
•
You can then detach all accessories and perform cleaning operations as described under "Cleaning accessories and internal parts" below.
Using FLOVAC® disposable collection system: Before connecting the disposable collection system, remove the white ring fitted on the tank holder for a
more comfortable insertion of the same container.
Connect the short tube with the throttle connector marked as "VACUUM" fitted on the lid of the disposable pocket. The container should be positioned on
ON. The long silicon tube should be connected with the connector marked as "PATIENT".
In order to perform suction, close the connector marked as "TANDEM" with the lid provided.
If using the equipment with FLOVAC® disposable collection system antibacterial filters are not required since each disposable pocket is already provided
with an inside filter. The hydrophobic antireflux and antibacterial filter provided will protect the equipment, while also acting as float valve deactivating
vacuum generation when the maximum volume level is reached.
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.
NEVER USE THE DEVICE WITHOUT JAR AND / OR PROTECTION
MAKE SURE THAT CHILDREN AND/OR MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE
DO NOT USE THE DEVICE WITHOUT ADULT SURVEILLANCE
ALWAYS PLACE THE DEVICE IN POSITIONS FOR EASY
FILTER
DISCONNECTION.
