Operating Instructions
Operation of Unit for Portable Use:
Make sure the canister is in the operating position before turning the unit on (3). A fully charged alkaline battery will power
the unit continuously for 180 minutes (±10%). After running for 180 minutes (±10%) the unit will run at reduced power and
the red battery condition LED (2) will light indicating it is time to replace the battery. When the red LED begins to blink,
only a few minutes run time remain. The PC Board will automatically turn the device off when there is not enough power
to effectively run the device. Install a new battery in the Quickdraw for continued use. The battery is a single use battery
and is intended to be discarded once it has been discharged. Dispose of the battery according to local / regional / national
requirements for the disposal of electronic waste. Battery condition is automatically monitored and indicated by an
indicator light on the side of the chassis.
The 80615 10xAAA Battery Holder (batteries not supplied) with fresh alkaline batteries at full capacity and voltage will
power the Model 2403 Series Quickdraw suction device continuously for approximately 60 to 100 minutes depending on
the level of battery capacity, battery voltage, and the brand of battery. As the battery capacity begins to decline, the red
battery condition LED will light indicating it is time to replace the batteries in the battery holder. When the red LED begins
to blink, immediately install fresh batteries into the battery holder.
Two Position Regulator
If full power (-500+mmHg) is not required, the units low setting is available by removing the regulator vent cap from the
regulator vent (4). Be sure to replace the cap on the vent when full power is required or to dispose of the canister.
Canister Automatic Shut-Off:
When the hydrophobic filter comes into contact with fluids, it will occlude the system and the unit will not suction. When
the canister capacity limit of 300cc/ml is exceeded or when a canister containing liquid is held upside down or vertically
with the catheter pointed upward, the airflow will be shut off when liquids contact the hydrophobic filter (5).
WARNING: ONCE THE FILTER COMES INTO CONTACT WITH FLUIDS, THE UNIT WILL NOT SUCTION
UNTIL A NEW CANISTER IS INSTALLED. CHANGE CANISTER IMMEDIATELY AFTER MOISTURE SHUTS
DOWN THE UNIT.
