Maintenance
Observe the following maintenance routine to ensure readiness at any time:
1. Test the SSCOR aspirator at regular intervals; See page 6.
2. Make sure the SSCOR aspirator is always clean and ready for use.
Note : No part requires lubrication and lubricants should not be used.
Sanitation: As soon as possible after use, the single use disposable canister, patient tubing and catheter should be
discarded according to local / regional / national requirements for the disposal of hazardous waste materials. Clean using
a mild detergent and if necessary disinfect with a mild disinfectant such as 10 to 1 bleach and rinse using clear water to
remove any residue. NOTE: The hydrophobic filter in the canister helps to ensure that no moisture or particulate matter
reaches the inside of the device. In the unlikely event that fluids may have reached the vacuum pump, read the
disinfection section. Do not reuse any single use disposable parts; do not submerge the device into any liquid, this will
void the warranty and cause the device to malfunction.
Disinfection: Use personal protective equipment such as gloves, a smock, and face and eye protection when handling
units that are suspected to be contaminated.
Caution: Disconnect the unit from any power source prior to cleaning the unit. When cleaning the interior of the chassis,
disconnect the battery from the PC Board to prevent damaging the PC Board.

Disinfect the unit using a mild surface disinfectant, such as a 10:1 mixture of water and bleach. The unit is designed to
suction contaminated fluids, which should be removed from the system immediately after use. In the unlikely event that
fluids may have reached the vacuum pump, your engineering department will have to open the unit to check the condition
of the pump. When cleaning the interior of the chassis, disconnect the battery from the PC Board to prevent damaging the
PC Board. The only foreseeable way fluids may reach the vacuum pump is that the filter in the canister has been
compromised or bypassed. If the PC Board appears defective, return the unit to the factory for repair. Do not attempt to
repair the PC Board. If the vacuum pump appears defective, return the unit to the factory for repair. Do not attempt to
repair the vacuum pump. For technical assistance, call +1 (818) 504-4054.
WARNING: To avoid any contaminants reaching the interior of the device, always remove the canister per the instructions
in the sanitation section. Only use SSCOR, Inc. canisters affixed with hydrophobic filters.
