12 Suction Accessories
Suction Accessories
The device and its accessories are biocompatible in accordance with
EN 60601 1.
Suction Cannulae
Suction cannulae or suction probes for contact with the human body
should comply with ISO 10993 1 requirements for biocompatibility.
Collection Jar (Canister)
The mechanical strength of the reusable collection jar (canister) is
guaranteed for 30 cycles of cleaning and sterilization. Beyond this,
the there may be signs of decay and replacement is recommended.
Silicone Tubing
The number of cleaning and sterilization cycles of the silicone tubing
is dependent on the actual usage. Tubing should be checked for
cracking and other visible signs of wear before re use.
Disposable Liner Disconnection
1. Switch off pump.
2. Disconnect white elbow together with patient tubing from
“PATIENT” port and close port firmly with attached cap [8].

Red Flashing Com letely Flat Recharge
Battery Status LED
When the pump is connected to external power the tri colour LED
indicates the charging status, either charging or complete.
When the pump is running, the LED indicates the battery status as
charged, partially charged or flat.
When not connected to power and the pump is switched off, the LED
is off to conserve the remaining battery charge.
Battery Charging
Use only the supplied power pack / charger model
UE60 140429SPA1.
Recharge the battery after each use to maintain the pump’s
maximum standby capacity. When the battery is fully charged the
internal charging control circuit automatically reduces current to a
trickle charge to compensate for battery self discharge.
Charging a flat battery takes approximately 240 minutes.
Ceevac may be placed on charge at any time to restore its battery to
fully charged condition. It is not necessary to wait until the battery is
flat before recharging.
Recharge the battery every three months when pump is not in use in
order to maintain the maximum capacity and service life of the
battery.
Audible Alarm
The red status LED is accompanied by a 0.8 second beep repeated at
an 8.5 second interval.

Cleaning
Cleaning
After Each Operation
Empty Collection Jar
1. Switch off pump.
2. Disconnect tubing from jar “PATIENT “ port.
3. Disconnect tubing from jar “VACUUM” port.
4. Carefully remove jar from pump and dispose of aspirated
fluid according to local protocols for potentially
biohazardous waste.
Clean
Housing
Wipe clean with a damp soapy cloth. Do not immerse or allow
liquid to enter the housing. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Suction Tubing
Suction Tubing should be sterilised with sterilants determined by
local protocols and compatible with silicone tubing. Suction
tubing may be autoclaved to a maximum of 121°C for 15 minutes.
At higher temperatures the suction tubing will discolour and lose
shape.
Collection Jars
Place jars upright or up side down in autoclave not on their
sides. Autoclave to a maximum of 121°C for 15 minutes. Do not
use phenolic solutions as disinfecting agents in polycarbonate
jars.
Bung (Lid)
Unlock bayonet on float cage by rotating cage clockwise.
Disconnect float cage and float from bung (lid) and separate seal
from bung (lid). Place all items upright or up side down in
autoclave not on their sides. Autoclave all items to a maximum
of 121°C for 15 minutes.

16 Waste Disposal
Check Bacteria Filter
The bacterial/hydrophobic filter is an important device to help protect the pump
and environment from moisture and bacteria taken from patient airways.
Clements recommend that the filter be changed every month or when damp or
discoloured.
Change after every use when the unit is used on infectious patients.
After Every 100 Hours or 2 Months of Operation
• Check all suction tubing and replace if it is perished, soft or
discoloured. Also check the tubing nipples.
• Check the seal ring on the lid and replace if hard, cracked or
perished. Check the fit of the lid in the collection jar (canister).
• Check the overflow cut off valve seal and replace if perished or
damaged.
Waste Materials
The contents of the collection jars, suction tubing, bacteria filter,
internal exhaust filter may contain biohazard wastes. Handle using
safe handling procedures, which may include the use of rubber
gloves and eye protection, and dispose of according to local protocols
for biohazard materials.
Recycling
At the end of their service life, the pump and accessories should be
dismantled if necessary, and disposed of according to the WEEE
directive.

Troubleshooting
1. The Pump Fails To Operate
• If attempting to run from mains power supply:
♦ Check that the mains power supply lead is firmly connected
and that the power is on at the mains power supply outlet.
• If attempting to run from the internal battery, check the
Battery Status LED on the Control Panel. If it is on (Red) refer
to the Charging the Internal Battery section.
• Ensure that the Vacuum Gauge on the Control Panel indicates
zero. If not, release vacuum and switch pump off and on.
2. Pump Running But No Vacuum
• Check that all fittings are connected tightly.
• Turn the vacuum controller knob on the control panel and
watch the indicator on the vacuum gauge.
• Ensure that the silicone medical suction tubing is in good
condition and not old and cracked.
• Check the type of handpiece in use as some handpieces
require finger occlusion or rigger release to allow suction.
• Check bacteria/hydrophobic shut off valve filter.
If the pump fails to work and you are unsure why, contact your
service department or return unit to your distributor.

Setup for Diagnostic and Performance Testing
Note that the following arrangements are not used for actual
suctioning applications. They are specified to remove
unnecessary variations when diagnosing faults and as a
standard setup for performance measurement.
Vacuum Check
Max
Vacuum
Gauge
Switch on pump and occlude inlet. Note maximum vacuum
reading.
Disconnect all items from inlet and with pump switched off,
confirm that gauge reads zero. A non zero reading indicates a
faulty gauge.
Set vacuum control knob to maximum, switch on pump and
confirm that gauge reads zero. A non zero reading indicates
obstruction in internal tubing or connections.
2.
Connect a calibrated vacuum gauge directly to inlet and repeat
maximum vacuum reading.
Confirm that pump gauge reads within the specified tolerance.
