Indicator lights
All lights are placed on the front and display the operation of the device (see Fig1) : the autonomy of the battery (2) and
the recharge state (3). The table below indicates the condition of the LEDs and the relative power of the battery:
LEDS STATUS
AUTONOMY VALUE
LED green on
>70% maximum autonomy
LED yellow on
40-50% of the maximum autonomy
LED red on
10-20% low battery autonomy - recharging immediately
The indicator for charging ON/CHG (2), placed next to the indicators of autonomy, has two different colors: Red
indicates that charging is taking place; green indicates that charging is complete. The indicator lights up whenever
the device is connected for recharging. If the LED does not light up, there could be a malfunction of internal recharge
circuit, lack of power (12 Vdc) or lack of connection of external cable to a power source for 12 Vdc.
WARNING
Always check the right connection of the cigarette lighter: the vibration of vehicles might cause its release.
The continuous charging of the device does not damage the internal battery and can always enjoy
maximum autonomy. It’s always necessary to recharge the battery after each use. The use of the device
when the battery is discharged will destroy the internal battery.
Daily checklist
The operations described in this section allow the user to verify the correct functioning of the suction unit. The test should
be performed at least once a day and before use in the field:
Disconnect the unit from the wall bracket or from the external charging cable;
place the unit on a stable surface in the upright position (e.g. on a table);
switch the unit on;
check the indicator lights for battery power (when the battery is fully charged, the green light will be on);
turn the regulator knob clockwise to maximum;
cover the patient tube (on the collection jar) with a finger or a lint free cloth;
check the maximum value of the vacuum (-800mbar +/-10%) on the gauge;
turn the regulator knob anti-clockwise and check the reading on the gauge.
When finished, compare the results of this test with the value on the table below:

WARNING
In the event of continued problems after taking the action outlined above, send the unit to an
authorised service centre for service or repair.
Collection jar
The device is sold with two different types of jar with a capacity of 1000ml:
- reusable, autoclavable jar (OB1000FA)
- reusable jar with disposable 1000ml Liner SERRES (OB1000 LINER).
OB-J FA reusable, autoclavable jar
OB-J FA jar (Fig. 3) is made of transparent plastic material (polyprophilen). The jar
includes pot (1), cover (2), the shut-off valve (3) and the 90° plastic pipe (4). The lid of
the jar provides the direct inclusion of the protection filter.
The jar can be sterilized in an autoclave (max. pressure 2 bar(g) and maximum
temperature 121°C) for a maximum of 15 minutes. It is strongly recommended that
the collection jar is replaced after 30 autoclave cycles. The jar must always be
used in the upright position, to avoid the intervention of shut-off valve. Should this
occur, switch the device off and disconnect the patient tube (‘VACUUM’ marked on
the lid).
Protection filter
To prevent fluid overflow, a special protection filter is used between the jar and the unit. The filter is
produced with PTFE hydrophobic material which prevents fluids entering the pneumatic circuit.
Working together with the shut-off valve on the jar, the filter isolates the pneumatic suction pump from
gas and fluid substances. Replace the filter when you look at contamination, discoloration or
increased resistance of aspiration.
Warnings and precautions on the use of protection filter
If the suction unit is used either in an emergency or on a patient where the risk of contamination is
not known, the filter must be changed after each use.
If instead the patient's pathology is known and / or where there is no danger of cross contamination, we
recommend replacing the filter after each shift. In case of complete inactivity of the unit is recommended to
replace the filter once a month. The material it is made should be damaged even under specific
environmental conditions (humidity, heat, cold)
Do not use the suction unit without the protection filter or jar!!
Reusable jar with disposable Liner SERRES®
The suction unit OB1000 LINER is sold with a 1000 ml SERRES® secretions
jar equipped with a disposable bag.
The jar is made of a transparent plastic material (polycarbonate) and can hold a
disposable bag equipped with antibacterial and anti-contamination filter. The jar is
equipped with an angular junction placed laterally which allows it to be connected to
the suction unit. The filter integrated into the disposable bag performs the function of
preventing the backflow of aspirated liquids towards the suction unit when it
completely fills up, and to avoid cross-contamination. On the top of the disposable
bag there is a white plastic disposable corner joint, which allows to connect standard
suction catheters or cannulas Jankauer.

Jankauer suction tube and Finger-typ end-piece
The suction unit is sold complete with a sterile, Jankauer type suction probe which is connected to a
plastic suction tube. The probe and the tube are disposable and must be changed after each
use. To facilitate correct operation, the probe is angled to allow ease of entrance to the mouth and
the respiratory airway.
A different type of suction set, which includes a silicone tube (length 130cm –51.2in) and
one Finger-tip sterile joint, is available at customer request. Finger-typ joint allows the user
to control the vacuum by opening or closing a venturi hole with a finger. When the venturi
hole is completely open, the vacuum will operate at the minimum value, with the venturi
hole completely closed the vacuum will operate at the value set on the unit. Silicone tube is
sterilizable, Finger-typ is disposable.
Power supply and charging of the battery
The unit is equipped with an internal rechargeable battery (non user-replaceable). The maximum time for charging the
battery (as the residual capacity) is about 15 hours. The times fall significantly if the device is recharged after each use.
A fully charged battery will provide approximately 45-60 minutes of continuous operation at zero vacuum level (free flow).
It is considered an average life of the battery, if properly loaded, equal to 24 months.
In case of inactivity for a long time, run every 15 days a complete control and charging for at least 24 consecutive hours.
The device can be recharged via the supplied cable, the wall bracket or the battery charger power supply (100÷230 Vac).
The charging cable must be connected to a power source between 12 and 15 Vdc. To allow the use and recharge, the
device must be connected to an external power source (12÷15 Vdc) that can provide at least 6A.
WARNING
Check that the external power source is correctly rated. The external power source has to be
protected by a security fuse with a minimum rating of T15A (delayed type).
The battery charger is an exclusive accessory, available only from the manufacturer. It can only be used indoors.
WARNING
Do not use the suction unit on a patient with the battery charger connected to the mains electricity
supply. The mains voltage can be deadly to humans!
Checking the battery
To verify and monitor the autonomy of battery and / or in case of suspicion of revocation of the same, do the following:
Charge the device for at least 15 consecutive hours;
set the maximum value of vacuum closing the vacuum regulator (clockwise);
let the unit run without closing the patient tube for at least 20 consecutive minutes;
if the unit stops working earlier than 20 minutes, the battery is damaged and must be replaced.
MAINTENANCE AND REUSE
After each reuse
After each use, disconnect the unit from external power source, disconnect the single patient use - disposable parts (e.g.
Finger-tip, catheters, liner etc.) and dispose of them according to local regulations. Verify the integrity of the device,
check the connecting tubes and structural abnormalities. Clean and disinfect the unit as described below. Replace all
single use - disposable parts with new components and recharge the battery.
Make a daily function test as described under "Daily checklist" on page 7.

THE RISKS OF RECIPROCAL INTERFERENCE WITH OTHER DEVICES
The OB1000 suction unit does not create interferences with other medical devices that are operating in the same area
during the conduct of investigations and clinical treatments. The unit must not be connected to other equipment for its
operation and has an internal power source.
RISK OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE AND POSSIBLE REMEDIES
The electro medical units required special precautions of use with regard to electromagnetic compatibility. For this
reason must be installed and/or used in accordance with the information specified in the accompanying documents (in
our case the following tables).
Portable radio devices and mobile may affect the functioning of the medical device.
The electro medical units and medical systems should not be used in proximity, adjacent or overlapping with other
electrical apparatus or radio. If such use is necessary and unavoidable, special precautions must be taken to ensure that
the medical device is functioning properly in its configuration of use envisaged (for example, checking constantly and
visually the absence of anomalies or failures). The following tables provide information about the features of EMC
(electromagnetic compatibility) of this electro medical unit. The full functionality of this unit is considered "essential
services" for the purposes of electromagnetic immunity.
POSSIBLE METHODS TO AVOID THE RISKS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
In the case that medical unit can influence or be influenced by other electrical appliances places nearby, try to change
the place of use, remove sources that emit radio frequency (cell phones, two-way radios, mobile antennas). Try to move
away from where you are (if possible) or turn off all non-essential appliances nearby places (including the electro-
domestics) and follow the directions below.

(a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur
radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the
location in which the suction unit OB1000 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the suction unit OB1000 should
be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-
orienting or relocating the suction unit OB1000.
(b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strength should be less than 1 V/m.
