MN V/S AS 200 IN March 1998 pag. 2 di pag. 3
This overfill device must be in good condition, well cleaned and efficient, with floating freely working.
CHANGING OVER AND EMPTYING OF THE BOTTLES
To change the aspiration from a bottle to another one (when the apparatus is supplyed with 2 bottles – see design no. 2 in the last
page) you have to remove from the cap of the first bottle the blue part of the side A of the connection apparatus/bottle and the
connection of the tubing suction/patient (P), inserting them in the relative points of the cap of the other bottle. To empty the full
bottle you have to take it up in a vertical position (you have not to take it from the cap) and then start emptying the liquid through the
hole for the connection of patient tubing.
Take away the cap only at the end when the bottle is nearly empty.
BACTERIOLOGICAL FILTER WITH FUNCTION OF SUPPLEMENTARY OVERFILL
The bacteriological filter, able to stop even liquids and usable as a second safety overfill device, is a in-line filter device, reusable and
sterilizable (30 times by autoclave at 121°C for 20 min.) with retantion rating of 99,97% of all particules ≥0.3 micron.
The filter must be connected according to detail “F” and indications on the filter: it has a specific side to the vacuum, all the group
connections/tubing is made of silicon rubber, sterilizable, and so it can be assembled and disassembled very easily by means of a
simple pressure. During the cleaning the filter can’t be wet. Anyway, if the device works, the internal media filter must be dry
because otherwise stops completely the suction power.
When the filter is new (working at the maximum vacuum with the patient tubing opened) on the vacuum gauge you can see a vacuum
of 10-15 cmHg which raises while the media filter is getting obstructed (at the same time the suction power decreases). The filter
must be replaced after about 30 times (they can be more or less, according to the material aspirated, but in any case don’t exceed 50
times.
QUICK CHECKING OF TUBINGS, BOTTLES, GASKETS AND SO ON
To check tubing, bottles, caps, gaskets, pump and so on (not damaged or obstructed) it is advisable, each time you use the unit, to
switch it on reaching the maximum vacuum with patient tubing closed.
CLEANING, STERILIZATION, MAINTENANCE AND TRANSPORT
Attention: at the moment of sale the accessories (even reusable suction accessories – on request) are not sterile. Bottles with caps
(both unbreakable), tubing with connectors, gaskets, suction accessories, are sterilizable (by autoclave at 121°C for 20 min.) or by
means cold sterilizer solutions (i.e. Cydex). The bacteriological filter is sterilizable (by autoclave at 121°C for 20 min.) but can’t be
wet when cleaning. The overfill device can be sterilized by means cold sterilizer solutions (i.e. Cydex), obviously you have to
remove it first.
The unit may be cleaned with mild soap solution, but take great care that fluid does not enter the system. Wipe dry. When the unit is
not used keep it in a dry, dust-free area at room temperature and take care not to spill any liquid onto the system.
It is advisable to submit the unit for a periodic (annual) inspection, better to the manufacturer.
Move the equipment around the working area keeping it in vertical position.
Check overfill device
Before using the equipment you have to verify the overfill device with the floating freely working and the inside gasket (better if
changed after a working period of 500 hours) well cleaned and in good conditions (to perform this control you can unscrew the ring
nut floating holder).
Never operate on the pump: please, contact trained technical assistance.
DISPOSAL: all the materials, including consumer materials, must be disposed off according to the different
National Rules.
