□Description and intended use
The OB1000 is a portable electrical medical suction device designed to remove fluids and substances obstructing the
upper airways and restore spontaneous and/or assisted respiration. High vacuum is normally used for oropharyngeal
tract suction while low vacuum values are used for tracheal suction and/or applications in children and infants. The
device can be used in emergency health services, first aid, home care and in hospitals and/or mobile medical units. The
device comes with a carrying/storage bag. The unit is designed to meet the classification for “HIGH VACUUM – HIGH
FLOW” medical suction equipment (see ISO10079-1).
□Contraindications for use
Do not use the OB1000 for thorax drainage.
□Controls, operations and control panel
All controls are on the front of the suction unit. The unit can be controlled when fitted on the wall-bracket or in the
carrying bag.
To activate the device, press the switch (6), which is protected against infiltration of moisture, splashing of water and
other cleansers. Vacuum can be adjusted by turning the knob (2). Turning the control knob clockwise increases the
vacuum. The vacuum produced by the internal pump can be read on the analogue vacuum gauge (1) and is expressed
in millibars (mbar) and kilo-pascals (kPa) or millimetres of mercury (mmHg). The vacuum gauge is fluorescent and can
be seen in the dark. On the back are two contacts (9) that allow the charging of the device if fitted on the wall bracket.
Alternatively, you can use the charging cable plugged into the external 2-pin connector (8).

□Indicator lights
All lights are placed on the front and display the operation of the device (see Fig1): the autonomy of the battery (3-4-5)
and the recharge state (7).
The table below indicates the condition of the LEDs and the relative power of the battery:
LEDS STATUS
BATTERY POWER LEVEL
LED green on (3)
>70% maximum power
LED yellow on (4)
40-50% medium power
LED orange on (5)
10-20% battery low –the suction unit twill shut down soon
The indicator for charging ON/CHG (7), placed next to the indicators of autonomy, has two different colors: Yellow
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 that the plug is inserted correctly into the cigarette lighter: vehicle vibration could cause it
to come out. To ensure this, check the <ON/CHG> LED: it should be on, both during charging and once
charging has been completed!
A low battery compromises suction unit function, and thus its use. It’s always necessary to recharge the
battery after each use. The suction unit can be left steadily plugged into the charge. The battery has a 2-
year life and is automatically replaced during the safety inspection. The battery cannot be replaced by the
user (contact your authorized service centre).
□Unit testing
The test should be performed daily, to ensure that the suction unit is in good working order, there are no anomalies
and/or casing breakage and that the unit is functioning properly.
Daily test
This test lets you quickly check whether the suction unit is fit for use in the field; it involves functional tests that take no
more than 5 minutes.
•Disconnect the unit from the wall bracket or from the external charging cable;
•Set the unit on a stable surface in the upright position so the front is facing you. Do not withdraw the unit from its
carrying/storage bag;
•Turn on the unit with the switch on the front panel. The suction unit should run smoothly and you should not note
any fluctuation in the external pump rpm. You should not hear any unusual noise and/or sharp vibrations;
•Check the indicator lights for battery power (when the battery is fully charged, all of the lights will be on);
•Completely close the vacuum regulator (turning it clockwise) and, with your finger, plug the transparent silicone
tubing running from the filter or disposable bag to the container. The sound of the pump should change and the
Fig.1

Rev. 04-2018 USMAN1000 2P-EN
reading on the vacuum gauge should reach maximum value (about -800 mbar, -80 kPa, -600 mmHg) in a few
seconds.;
•While keeping your finger over the silicone tubing, turn the vacuum regulator counter-clockwise and check the
reading on the instrument to ensure that suction drops to nearly 0 (40-50 mbar);
•Turn off the suction unit and turn it 180° to check the dataplate on the back and the condition of the
carrying/storage bag;
•Plug the external power supply cable into the cigarette lighter or optional adapter and check that the charging
process starts (orange LED is on).
When finished, compare the results of this test with the value on the table below:
Test –phase

Check the battery power.
When the battery is fully charged the green
light will be on.
Recharge the unit immediately.
Check the maximum vacuum.
Value range between 700 and 800 mbar
(70kPa ÷ 80kPa; 525 ÷ 600mmHg).
Check that the lid on the collection jar is tight
and that all connections are secure. Change
the disposable liner.
Check the vacuum regulation.
Gauge reading ranges from maximum to
minimum.
Check the vacuum connections and/or the
regulator (anti-clockwise for minimum
vacuum).
If any of the tests are not passed, even after taking the steps outlined above, send the suction unit to
an authorised service centre or consult the manufacturer.
□Collection jars
The suction unit is marketed with three different types of collection jar:
- OB-J FA autoclavabile collection jar with a capacity of 1000 ml (OB1000 FA)
- OB-J collection jar with a capacity of 1000 ml, with disposable liner SERRES®(OB1000 FM)
□OB-J FA reusable, autoclavable collection jar
The jar is made of specific transparent plastic. It includes canister (1), snap-on lid (2),
overflow valve (3) and 90° plastic connector (4). The lid allows direct insertion of the
filter.
The jar can be sterilized in a conventional steam autoclave at a maximum
temperature of 121 °C and pressure of 2 bar (200kPa). The jar must be replaced if it
shows any deformation, breaks or cracks.
The jar must always be used in the upright position to prevent activating the
overflow valve. Should this occur, switch the suction unit off and disconnect the
patient catheter.
When used in a home environment, the jar can be cleaned using a special cleanser
able to guarantee medical device disinfection. The aspirated secretions must be disposed of in compliance with medical
doctrine, i.e. as prescribed by the physician according to the patient's medical condition.
□Protection filter
The filter protects the suction circuit against contaminants aspirated during use. It is made of a
hydrophobic material and prevents the passage of any atomized fluids and aerosols, thus preventing
their uptake (complete absence of patient side suction).
In case of possible contamination, discolouration and increased resistance to suction replace the filter.
Fig.3

Rev. 04-2010 USMAN2012-IT
11 - 28
Rev. 04-2018 USMAN1000 2P-EN
If the suction unit is used on a patient whose medical condition is not known, always replace the filter
after use. This will prevent contamination, even serious contamination, of the operating environment,
operator and patient. If, instead, the patient's medical condition is known and/or there is no danger of
cross contamination, we recommend replacing the filter after each shift or when the filter turns dark.
If the suction unit remains unused, it is advisable to replace the filter once a month. The material used in
its construction could even be damaged by particular environmental conditions (humidity, heat, cold).
Do not use the suction unit without the protection filter or jar!
□OB J collection jar with SERRES disposable liner
The OB-J jar for SERRES disposable liners (see Fig. 4) is made of a specific transparent plastic. It
includes a canister (1), adaptor for SERRES disposable liners (2), "L" connector (3) and disposable
liner (4). The filter integrated into the liner prevents aspirated fluids from flowing back into the
suction unit when it is completely full.
The jar can be sterilized in a conventional steam autoclave at a maximum temperature of 121 °C and
pressure of 2 bar (200kPa). The disposable liner must be replaced after use on a given patient.
When used in a home environment, the jar can be cleaned using a special cleanser able to guarantee
medical device disinfection. The disposable liner can never be emptied and reused. The liner containing the aspirated
secretions must be disposed of in compliance with medical doctrine, i.e. as prescribed by the physician according to the
patient's medical condition.
□Yankauer suction catheter and end-piece with finger-tip control
The suction unit is sold complete with a sterile, Yankauer-type suction catheter and tubing for
connection to the jar. The suction tip and catheter are disposable and must be changed after
each use. To facilitate correct operation, the rigid suction tip is angled so it can reach all parts
of the mouth and upper airways.
Upon request, the suction unit can be outfit with a silicone patient tubing (length: 130 cm) and one sterile Finger-tip
joint so that sterile suction tips of varying size can be connected. The finger-tip joint
allows the user to control vacuum directly with a finger, without requiring any
commands. The silicone tubing can be sterilised while the finger-tip joint is, instead,
disposable.
The disposable devices supplied with the medical suction unit bear labels providing all
information needed for proper use.
Warning! Do not use sterile medical devices beyond their expiration date or if the package is damaged.
□Power supply and battery charging
The suction unit has a rechargeable internal battery (which cannot be replaced by the operator The maximum battery
charging time (depending on residual charge) is about 15 consecutive hours. A fully charged battery will provide
approximately 45÷60 minutes of continuous operation (at open flow). This time may also vary, even considerably, if the
suction unit is used outside of the parameters recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. when used in the presence of
very high or very low temperatures).
When properly charged, average battery life is 24 months. After this period, we recommend replacing the battery.
If the unit is not used for a long time, run a complete check and fully charge the battery every 15 days.
The suction unit can be charged using the cable (supplied), the wall bracket or optional power supply (100÷230 Vac).
The charging cable must be connected to a 12÷15 Vdc power supply.
To be used while being charged, the suction unit must be connected to an external power supply (12÷15 Vdc) that can
provide at least 6A.

Rev. 04-2010 USMAN2012-IT
12 - 28
Rev. 04-2018 USMAN1000 2P-EN
CAUTION
Check that the external 11÷25 Vdc power supply is protected by a fuse rated at least 15A (time-delay).
Request such protection from the manufacturer if necessary.
The power supply is an exclusive accessory, available only from the manufacturer. It is approved for such function and
cannot be replaced with other brands. It can only be used indoors and on a power supply compliant with the law.
WARNING
Never tamper with and/or open the power supply. Danger of death. The power supply contains internal
electronics subject to line voltages that can be fatal.
□Battery function test
The steps required to check that the battery is fully functional and efficient are given below:
•Recharge the suction unit for at least 15 consecutive hours;
•Disconnect the suction unit from charging and set the vacuum regulator to maximum suction (turning the knob
clockwise);
•Turn the suction unit on and let it run (without closing the patient tubing). Note the operating time which must be
at least 20 consecutive minutes;
•If this time is not reached and the suction unit shuts down before 20 minutes has elapsed, the battery is damaged
and must be replaced.
NOTE
When battery life decreases significantly, it should be replaced. Contact the manufacturer or an
authorized service centre.
MAINTENANCE AND REUSE
□After each use
After each use, unplug the suction unit, disconnect the disposable parts and discard them. Check that the suction unit
is intact, check the connection tubing and check for any structural anomalies. Clean and disinfect the suction unit as
described below. Replace all single-use, disposable parts with new components and recharge the battery.
Run the daily function test as described under "Daily test” in page.9.
Occupational safety and health and PPE (It. Legislative Decree no. 81)
The decontamination process is always a delicate process, which implies specific training, especially in the emergency
field where the patient’s medical condition and degree of contamination are mostly unknown. For this reason, the
operator must always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect himself and others.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
□Cleaning of OB-J FA autoclavable jar
1. Wear gloves and protective clothing.
2. Remove the yellow angular connector with patient tube, withdrawing it from the jar. If the tube is equipped
with a Yankauer suction tip, it must be disposed of together with the curved tip (disposable device). The yellow
angular connector can be autoclave sterilized.
3. Disconnect the conical connection from the suction unit connector.
4. Loose canister fixing belt.
5. Pull the jar vertically out of the unit.
6. Disconnect the filter from the lid by turning it slightly in its housing.
7. Remove the lid (paying attention to possible contamination with the contents of the jar!). Empty the contents
of the jar.
8 –9 –10 –11 Separate all parts of lid.
After having disposed of the disposable filter and Yankauer suction catheter, complete with tubing, set the reusable
parts in cold running water and rinse thoroughly. Then dip the same parts in hot water (temperature not higher than
60°C) containing a mild, non-alcoholic detergent. Rinse thoroughly and, if necessary, use a non-abrasive brush to remove
any deposits. After washing, rinse all parts with hot running water (30-40°C max.) and then dry with a soft, non-abrasive
cloth. Before reassembling, check that all parts are clean, dry and intact. If the suction unit is equipped with silicone
tubing and “finger-tip” connection, dispose of the connector and clean the silicone tubing. The tubing can be autoclave
sterilized.
Decontamination/sterilisation of the collection jar and silicone tubing
The collection jar and silicone tubing can be disinfected with any mild, non-abrasive chemical cleanser. Alcohol or
solvent-based detergents cannot be used. Do not use any coloured disinfectants as these may damage the plastic of the
jar and stain the silicone tubing, reducing its transparency (e.g. Betadine). Never use disinfectants undiluted. Sterilize
with a steam autoclave at a maximum temperature of 121°C for max. 15 minutes. Do not use pressures above 2 bar
(200 kPa). The jar should be placed in the autoclave upside-down (bottom facing upward). At the end of the autoclave
cycle, leave to cool to ambient temperature, check that it is intact and then reassemble the jar following the operations
used to dismantle it in inverse order.

Rev. 04-2010 USMAN2012-IT
14 - 28
Rev. 04-2018 USMAN1000 2P-EN
WARNING
•Do not put weight on the parts during the sterilisation cycle.
•Observe the maximum limits for temperature, pressure and duration during the autoclave cycle.
•Never exceed the value of 60°C for washing or disinfection operations (with the exception of
sterilization in a steam autoclave).
•Cleaning and/or and sterilisation operations should only be performed by trained personnel.
•Replace the collection jar if it presents fissures, cracks or even partial breakage.
•After reassembling the jar, always check that the lid is properly fitted so as to prevent loss of vacuum
and carryover of fluids.
Place all components of the jar on a flat, secure surface. During assembly and disassembly, always check all parts for
damage. The overflow valve has a float that slides on a plastic guide. Make certain that it slides easily and unhindered
and that the silicone seal is intact.
Replacing he filter
Carefully disconnect the silicone tubing from the contaminated filter and dispose
of it in accordance with current laws and regulations. Remove the filter from the
lid by screwing or unscrewing it from its housing. This operation facilitates
withdrawal and prevents it from breaking inside the lid! Install a new filter
ensuring that the part marked “IN” is connected to the jar inlet marked VACUUM.
Failure to heed this detail can cause filter failure and contamination of the suction
unit intake circuit.
NOTE
The filter must be inserted with the side marked “IN” facing toward the jar. Using the suction unit with filter
inserted incorrectly can lead to contamination of the suction circuit.
□Cleaning of OB-J jar
