DANGER:
The John Bunn®Vacutec™800 EV2 Aspirator is a vacuum suction device intended for the
collection of nonflammable fluid materials in medical applications only . Improper use
during medical applications can cause injury or death.
For all medical applications:
1. All suctioning should be done in strict accordance with appropriate procedures that have been
established by a licensed medical authority.
2. Some attachments or accessories may not fit the tubing supplied. All attachments or
accessories should be checked prior to use to assure proper fit.
CAUTION: The Model JB0112-016 uses a power supply allowing operation on AC voltage
(115 VAC, 60 Hz). However, the correct power source must be used to connect to
adaptable wall power. Before use, check the specification label on the side of the aspirator
to ensure that the voltage and current indicated on the unit match the voltage and current
available.
2. AC POWER SOURCE

4JB0112-016-INS-LAB-RevB10
3. ELECTRICAL
Compressor
If the overload protector shuts off the motor frequently , you may have a low voltage situation. Low
voltage can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Other motor-operated appliances fail to operate properly. Too many motor-operated appliances
on same circuit.
NOTE: The aspirator’s compressor motor has a thermal overload protector . If the motor
overheats, the overload protector will shut off the motor . If this occurs, turn the ON/OFF switch to
the OFF position and allow the motor to cool (approximately 5 minutes). Restart aspirator . If the
aspirator fails to start, wait an additional 5 minutes before attempting to restart. If this fails,
inspect your aspirator fuse (and replace if necessar y). If the unit still does not restart, contact
your Graham-Field authorized distributor immediately.
WARNING: Proper operation of this product is necessary to avoid physical harm. Improper
use can cause personal injury and/or tissue damage. This product should not be used
unless the operator has been instructed by a physician or another qualified healthcare
professional.
1. Familiarize yourself with this unit.
2. Place unit on table and push down hard so that suction feet hold unit firmly in place.
3. Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
NOTE: Before attempting to start a cold unit, let the unit reach room temperature in a heated area.

6. SETUP
1. Connect both pieces of tubing:
a. Connect one end of tubing a to the top of the collection bottle connector and the other end
to the bacteria HEPA filter, as shown in Figure 1.
b. Connect one end of tubing b to the open end of the bacteria HEP A filter and the other end to
the vacuum gauge, as shown in Figure 1.
2. Connect the suction tubing to the top of the collection bottle at the outlet labeled “patient”, as
shown in Figure 2. Ensure that all connections are secure and without leaks before use.
3. Before use, check the specification label on the side of the aspirator to ensure that the voltage
and current indicated on the unit match the voltage and current available. Make sure the
ON/OFF switch shown in Figure 2 is in the OFF position before connecting the unit to a power
source.
Read SETUP WARNINGS before continuing.
SETUP WARNINGS:
1. This device is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for protection against
possible shock hazard. Plug only into a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact a licensed professional to
have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. DO NOT modify the plug in
any way.
2. If an extension cord must be used, use a three-conductor cord with the same or higher
electrical rating as the aspirator cord, with ground, properly wired, in good electrical
condition, and keep it as short as possible.
3. Locate all cords so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over , or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.

7. HOW TO OPERATE YOUR JOHN BUNN®ASPIRATOR
1. Make sure the ON/OFF switch located on
the side of the unit is in the OFF position.
Plug the aspirator into a properly grounded
power outlet.
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to “I” position
(ON); the unit will start running.
3. Adjust the vacuum level from 0 to 560 mmHg by
turning the vacuum adjust knob (clockwise to
increase vacuum and counter-clockwise to decrease
vacuum). Refer to the vacuum gauge while setting
the desired level of vacuum. To accurately read the
gauge, block the patient end of the hose or cap off
the collection bottle and allow the gauge to reach a
stable vacuum reading.

6. Switch the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position to shut off the suction motor .
7. Unplug the aspirator when not in use.
8. Remove the liquid from the collection bottle after the motor stops turning completely . (Please
refer to the following “CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS” section for directions to clean the collection
bottle).
9. Switch the ON/OFF switch to the ON position and start to run the aspirator again.
NOTE:
1. If the unit sustains a severe drop, the validity of the gauge must be checked. Inspect the float
shut-off to ensure it still functions properly when the liquid in the collection bottle reaches the
safe full level.
2. Always transport unit with vacuum adjust knob rotated fully clockwise in case the unit is dropped.
CAUTION:
1. When automatic float shut-off is activated, empty the contents of the collection bottle
immediately. Further suction could cause damage to the vacuum pump.
2. Should fluid be aspirated back into the unit, contact your Graham-Field authorized
distributor for a detailed inspection, as the vacuum pump may have been damaged.
8. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Clean Collection Bottle:
1. Turn off the aspirator, allow vacuum to
drop, then disconnect AC power source.
2. With the collection bottle still in the
holder, remove the collection bottle lid.
The bottle can now be taken out of the
holder to be emptied.
NOTE: Empty the collection bottle
immediately after each use.

3. Clean the collection bottle after each use by using one of the following three methods:
a. Wash in a hot water/dishwashing detergent solution and rinse with clean, hot tap water . Then
wash in one part vinegar to three parts hot water solution. Rinse with hot tap water and air dry .
b. Wash with rubbing alcohol and air dry.
c. Wash with a commercial (bacterial-germicidal) disinfectant; follow disinfectant manufacturer's
recommended instructions and dilution rates carefully.
Clean Aspirator and Collection Bottle Lid:
1. Disconnect the aspirator from all external power sources.
2. Wipe the aspirator housing and collection bottle lid with a clean cloth and any commercial
(bacterial-germicidal) disinfectant.
CAUTION:Do not submerge unit in water as this will result in severe damage to the
vacuum pump.

9. MAINTENANCE
Inspect suction tubing and collection bottle for leaks, cracks, etc. before each use. If found,
discontinue aspirator use immediately and contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor .
DANGER: Electric shock hazard
Do not attempt to open or remove the suction cabinet. If service is required, contact your
Graham-Field authorized distributor. Opening or tampering with the unit will void the
warranty.
Bacteria HEPA Filter Change:
1. Replace the bacteria HEPA filter when
either of the following two conditions
occurs:
a. the filter is dirty and the aspirator has
lost suction, or
b. there is liquid in the filter assembly as
result of extended use or overflow. If
overflow occurs, change the filter
immediately.
2. Remove the filter by disconnecting it from
the tubing connected to the vacuum
gauge and the tubing connected to the
collection bottle lid assembly.

is not covered under the warranty.
2. Use only John Bunn®filters. Do not substitute any other material for this bacteria HEP A
filter. Improper substitution may lead to contamination or poor performance.
Clean Tubing:
1. Disconnect the tubing from the unit.
2. Rinse the tubing thoroughly after every use by running hot tap water through it, followed by a
solution of one part vinegar to three parts hot water .
3. Rinse with hot tap water and air dry .
4. Keep the outer surface of the tubing clean by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
WARNING: The waste in the collection bottle, which could cause respiratory infection, must
be handled according to medical waste disposal regulations. The operator must wear
gloves and a medical-class mask before cleaning the collection bottle and tubing or
handling the waste unit and/or accessories.
