Description
The eVAC Hand Operated Suction Pump is a light, state of the art,
high-vacuum, portable emergency device, which can be powered with
one-hand operation, leaving the other hand free for different tasks. It
was designed with a swivel which gives the operator better
accessibility whilst working in tight situations and avoids premature
engagement of the overflow mechanism. The unit has been designed
to provide efficient operation and simple maintenance.
Directions For Use
Select the appropriately sized suction cannula and connector
according to the size of the patient. Attach Connector and Suction
Cannula to the Cap Connection Port of the Collection Jar. Attach
Pump Handle to the Cap Connection Port. Ensure that the Collection
Jar is firmly attached to the Cap Connection Port.
Caution: It very important that the Collection Jar Cap is attached all
the way to the Pump Handle, and that all connections are tight and
firm.
The eVAC Hand Operated Suction Pump is operated by a simple
squeeze action of the trigger. Pull or squeeze the trigger towards the
Pump Handle to create the vacuum in the pump, and fluid will be
suctioned into the Collection jar. A one-way valve mechanism
prevents loss of suction.

Once suctioning is finished, remove the tube slowly from the patient.
Unsnap the filled Collection jar and Cannula from the Pump Handle.
Place the filled Jar and tubing into a poly bag; seal bag and dispose
of appropriately.
Overflow Protection Mechanism
The eVAC Hand Operated Suction Pump is equipped with an
overflow protection mechanism which will engage once the jar is
filled. It is not possible to continue squeezing the handle once the
Collection Jar is full; extremely high resistance will be felt. When this
happens, empty the Collection Jar or replace with a back-up jar for
further suctioning. The overflow protection mechanism will ensure
that the fluid will not enter the housing of the Pump Handle
assembly once the Collection Jar is full.
When the suction port of the cap is pointed towards the floor, a
flapper valve will close to avoid spilling the aspirated contents from
the Collection Jar.
If the tip of the Suction Cannula becomes blocked, increased
resistance will be felt and the Pump handle will become difficult to
operate. Do not continue suctioning and lift the Suction Cannula
away from the occlusion. Remove the blockage from the tip of the
Cannula by disconnecting and shaking until clear, or replace with a
fresh cannula.
If the pump is turned upside down, the overflow protection
mechanism will be engaged and it will be impossible to suction. If a
sudden resistance is felt during suctioning and the Collection Jar is
not full, then the overflow protection mechanism may have become
engaged. Disconnect the Collection Jar from the Pump to release the
vacuum; shake the jar slightly to reset and reconnect. This should
disengage the overflow protection mechanism.
Note: When disconnecting the Collection Jar from the Pump, it is
important to pull apart to separate—do NOT twist. Twisting can
result in damage to the end stops.

Cleaning And Disinfecting
If the suction pump was contaminated, disinfect the pump and
handle (by scouring with warm soapy water, mild detergent, bleach
solution, etc) before placing into storage.
Caution: Do NOT immerse the pump unit in liquid.
Basic Functional Test
It is important to check the pump function before returning it for
use. Mount a Collection Jar , occlude the Connection Port with your
thumb or palm and squeeze the handle to check the vacuum.
Maintenance
Apart from the cleaning and testing procedures referred to above the
eVAC Hand Operated Suction Pump requires no special maintenance
or storage conditions.
Cautions
Read directions prior to use. The eVAC Hand Operated Suction Pump
should be used by persons with training in suction techniques. The
use of the suction device may require that appropriate infectious
disease precautions be taken during use, cleaning of the device, and
disposal of the tubing and the Collection Jar (as per local protocol).
