1. OPERATION WITH MULTI-VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY UNIT
1.1 Check the charge level of the ambulance's battery before using the device
1.2 For use outside the ambulance (i.e. not fixed to the bracket [19]) with the internal battery flat or not full
charged, connect the multi-voltage power supply (16) to the socket on the device (7) and connect the cord
(17) to a mains power socket.
1.3 Connect the appliance as indicated in Figure 1 (page 1).
1.4 Start the appliance by placing the switch to the "I" (ON) position (4) (green pilot light on).
1.5 The vacuum regulator (5) can be used to set the level of vacuum required (bar/KPa). Turn the knob clockwise,
in the "+" direction, to obtain a higher vacuum or anticlockwise, in the "-" direction, for a lower vacuum;
these values are read on the vacuum gauge (6),
Important: the vacuum values on the control decal are purely for guidance; always refer to the vacuum
gauge reading.
1.6 After the application, switch off the device, remove the supply cord (17) from the mains socket and disconnect
the power supply unit (16) from the device. Perform the cleaning operations as described in the "CLEANING
AND DISINFECTION" paragraph.
2. OPERATION WITH BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER WITH MULTI-VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY UNIT
2.1 The device is supplied with the battery partially charged. We therefore recommend charging it before use.
2.2 To charge the battery, with the device switched off connect the multi-voltage power supply unit (16) to the
device's socket (7) and to the mains power supply by means of the cord (17). Charging time: about 4 hours.
Charge duration: about 40/45 minutes at maximum suction power.
2.3 Operation with internal battery only:
Switch the device on by pressing the "ON-OFF button (4) (green light comes on). If the green light goes out
during use, and the yellow light comes on, there is about 10/15 minutes of battery charge left (reserve level).
Therefore: terminate the application if possible. If the application cannot be terminated, it can be continued
until the red (battery flat) light comes on, but if this occurs do not use the appliance for more than 3 minutes
to avoid damaging the battery. To continue the application with the battery flat (red light on), connect the
multi-voltage power supply unit (16) (as described in point 2.2).
2.4 At the end of the application, switch the device off by pressing the button (4). Connect the power supply
unit (16) to charge the battery (as described in point 2.2). If the device is not in use and is not connected
to the bracket (19) in the ambulance, the power supply unit should be left connected (16) to ensure that
the battery is always charged to the optimal level.
2.5 For aspiration procedures see points 1.3; 1.4; 1.5.
N.B.: when the battery power drops below a set level the aspirator shuts down to avoid damage to
the battery. If absolutely necessary, the user can restart the aspirator for 1 minute by pressing the
ON/OFF button again.
3. OPERATION WITH THE DEVICE INSTALLED IN THE AMBULANCE
3.1 The device can also operate connected to the ambulance mounting bracket (19).
3.2 With the device connected to the bracket (19), there is no limit to patient treatment time because the device
is powered directly by the ambulance battery.
3.3 The device's battery is charged by leaving it connected to the ambulance mounting bracket (19).
3.3.1 The device's battery is also charged while treatment is in progress (with the device connected to the
ambulance mounting bracket).
3.4. For aspiration procedures see points 1.3; 1.4; 1.5.
4. SECRETION COLLECTION VESSEL - 1000 ml
The 1000 ml collection bottle supplied with the aspirator can be used in two ways: as a collection vessel which can
be sterilised as shown in Figure 3a or as a collection vessel with disposable bag (9) as illustrated in Figure 3b.
4.1 Sterilisable secretion vessel (1): the secretion vessel set consists of an overflow valve, a vessel (1) in clear
material (polycarbonate) and a blue plug (2). Fit the antibacterial filter (6) straight into the plug (2); it will only
fit into the hole marked VACUUM/VUOTO, which is outlined in yellow. The antibacterial filter also protects
the aspiration circuit from any contaminating agents sucked in during use. Do not use the aspirator without
the antibacterial filter, because from a bacteriological point of view, it becomes dangerous for the
patient. Keep the device vertical to allow the overflow to function correctly.
All the components of the vessel can be sterilised using a conventional system in an autoclave at a
temperature of 121° C, or by boiling for 10 minutes. We recommend replacing the complete vessel at every
30 sterilisation cycles. Do not overturn the vessel during use, in order to prevent the intervention of the non-
return valve (3-4-5); should this occur, switch the aspirator off and detach the tube connected to the
antibacterial filter. Never use the aspirator without the secretion collection vessel and/or without the
antibacterial filter.
4.1.1 Connection: connect one end of the short, sterilisable silicon tube (7) to the antibacterial filter connector
(6) and insert this latter into the "VACUUM" hole of the blue top (2); connect the other end to the "INLET"
connector of the aspirator. Connect one end of the long sterilisable silicon tube (8) to the "PATIENT/PAZIENTE"
connector of the blue top (2); to the other end, connect the disposable, sterile manual regulator (11) and
connect the disposable, sterile cannula (10) to this latter.
4.2 Secretion collection vessel with disposable bag (9). The aspirator can be used with the re-usable 1000 ml.
transparent secretion collection vessel (1) and with the disposable bag (9) supplied. In this case, the
antibacterial filter is integrated in the disposable bag and therefore the antibacterial filter (6) and blue top
