Silicone tubes: the number of cycles of sterilization and/or cleaning is strictly linked to the employment of the
said tube. Therefore, after each cleaning cycle, it is up to the final user to verify whether the tube is suitable
for reuse. The component must be replaced if there are visible signs of decay of the material constituting the
said component.

PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE CHECKS
The TOBI MANUALE SUCTION ASPIRATOR 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.

1. No aspiration
2. No aspiration
3. The float doesn't close
4. The float doesn't close
5. Low suction
6. No aspiration due
to flow leakage of mucus
7. The Vacuum power
on the patient side is
either very low or absent
Faults 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 -
6 - 7
If the overfill security system is activated, don't proceede with the liquid aspiration. If the overfill security sys-
tem doesn't work there are two cases:
1
case - If the overfill security system doesn't work the aspiration will be stopped by the bacteriological filter
st
who avoids the liquid penetration inside the device.
2
case - If both the security system and the bacteriological filtrer do not work, there is the possibility that
nd
liquid has leaked inside the device, in this case return the device to GIMA technical service.
BEFORE EVERY CHECKING OPERATION, IN CASE OF ANOMALIES OR BAD FUNCTIONING,
PLEASE CONTACT GIMA TECHNICAL SERVICE. GIMA DOES NOT GIVE GUARANTEE IF INSTRUMENT,
AFTER THE TECHNICAL SERVICE CHECKING, APPEARS TO BE TAMPERED.
