The TOBI MANUALE 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, they might have been damaged during previous use.
Close the aspirator outlet with your finger.
Press the foot and check vacuum functionally.

If the overfill security system fails, continued aspiration will be stopped by the antibacterial filter.
Should this back-up security system also fail, there is a risk of penetration of liquid into the device.
Don't attempt to proceed with aspiration under these circumstances. Return the device to GIMA for service.
