Grams Medical
Operatinu & Maintenance Instructions
For Grams Aspirator
S-300
Turnina The Aspirator On
The center position of the switch on the electrical panel is OFF. Placing switch in the UP position
bypasses the foot pedal and turns the aspirator on manually. To use the Pneumatic foot pedal, place the
switch in the DOWN position. The foot pedal is a "Push On
- Push Off" operation.
* For best results using the foot pedal, press quickly and firmly.
* The pilot light is illuminated when the aspirator is on.
" In the event of electrical overload there is a circuit breaker on the electrical panel that
can be manually reset.
SP-320 Pump Module
The pump module is of a two stage rotary, oil type construction. This
type was chosen due to it'sdurability, low noise factor and it's
capability of producing vapor pressure vacuum. During high vacuum
procedures vaporization of moisture will occur. This vapor will pass
through the system (includingthe intake filter) and is collected by the oil.
* You must service module every TEN HOURS OF OPERATION to
remove this moisture.
Level
Service Pump Module
* Hint: Module should becool and allowed to stand 24 hours or
more after last use. The water and oil will separate and water will
collect on the bottom of the pump.
1. Removing pump from chassis: Unplug from electrical panel,
1-JI oil +
remove the two hoses, and lift straight up
Drain
(the pump sits on springs and is not fastened).
2. Place pump on drain counter with oil drain facing sink. Place container under pump to capture the 011
3. Open 011 drain (removecap or open valve depending on model) water will come out f~rst,then the
011, let out about 2oz.(20cc)ofoil, or until it looks reasonably clean. Close drain (or cap).
* You should make a total oil change every 50 hours of use, or when the oil does not
look reasonably clean.
4. Add new oil to level indicated in window. USE "VACUUM PUMP OIL" ONLY.
DO NOT USEAUTOMOTIVE OIL (because the oil and water will not separate).
5. It is important and beneficialthat additional oil be added to the pump. Place the switch on the motor
in the off position, using an extension cord plug the pump in to a wall electrical outlet. Turn pump on
and squirt about 1/2oz.(4to6cc)of oil directly into "INTAKE", turn off pump. Unplug the pump and
turn the switch back on.
6. Install pump back into aspirator chassis

Replacina Filters
Changing the EXHAUST filter shouldbedone
about every
10 hours of operation, or when the
exhaust filter is saturated with oil about
2" up
from the bottom. To removethe filter housing:
Remove hose(s) and lift filter
housing-straightout of the bracket.
The top section of the housing threads onto the
bottom section of the housing, simply unscrew the
top from the bottom, removethe filter, clean the
inside of the housing, and replace with a new filter.
* NOTE-Makesure the "0-Ring" in the lid of the
housing isin its grove. Lubricate the 0-Ringwith
EXHAUST FILTER HOUSING INTAKE FILTER HOUSING
vaseline. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
* The INTAKEfilter should be replaced about once a year. You must
change the filter inthe event of an overflow, or
if there has been contamination.
*Also available is a see through, clear exhaust filter housing (PIN: EFH-S5CL) to replacethe
old style bluefilter housing,this allows for a quick visual check of the filter to see if it needs replacing.
Check Valve
The function of the check valve is to prevent back flow
from the pump into the intake filter. Should your unit not'have
a Check Valveinstalled, simply cut the tubing 1 112 to two
inches from the module intake fitting and insert !la
check valve. See diagram (Note direction of arrow).
Additional Notes
* It is normal for a pump to have a sluggish start, after a period of
non use of a week or more.
* It isalways good practice to start the aspirator
prior to surgery.
* The best assurance is to have a spare pump avail-
able.
The stand by pump should always be stored with
(DO NOT DISCARD)
fresh oil.
* When installing pump, make sure the switch on
the motor is in the "ON" position. Use this switch
when servicing the pump outside the chassis with
an extension cord.
*You can trace a leak by removing the gauge from
the small bottle and plugging it directly into the
hose from the pump, and tracing it back one
component at a time.
Installation of O~tional

Unpacking
Unpack all three boxes. Remove everythingout of its
wrapping and packing. Discard packing, except the pump
box (box "20f3") its foam and two little redvinyl caps from the
pump. You might needthis later to send.the pump infor
service.

*Openaspiratorchassis, notethe three springs inside.There
are three rubber feet on the bottom of the pumpthat set right
on the springs, no tools required! The front of the pump faces
the opening of the chassis.
*Plug the pump into the top electrical outlet (insidethe chassis)

Installation of Filters
The intake filter housing has TWO hoseconnections. Placethis filter housing into the holder closest
to the fan, so the hoses arefacing the pump. See fig. 2, The short hose connectsto the "INTAKE"
side of the pump (note sticker on pump). Feedthe long hose out the hole inthe top of the chassis.
*The exhaust filter housing has
ONE hoseconnection. This very short hoseconnectsto the
"EXHAUST"side of the pump (note sticker on pump). See fig. 2.

Installation of Canister Bracket & Vacuum Jar
Placethe canister bracket inthe large holder on top of the chassis, so the loop faces the end
of the chassiswith the electricalpanel,then snap the clasps into place.
*Place green lid on top of small bottle, set the jar in the small holder, so that the two stainless
steel hoseconnectionsface towards the canister bracket. Usethe 'small'strap to fasten the
jar to the chassis.
*Connectthe vacuum hose sticking out of the lid
(fromthe inside) to the bleeder valve (ablack plastic
hoseconnectionthat is attachedto the small
bottle).
*Insert vacuum gauge into green lid.
*Place 318"~12"silicon hose onto the red plastic
hosetee on the outer canister. Set the outer
canister in the loop so the hosefaces the
bracket,then thread the hosethrough the slot
inthe bracketand attach to strait stainless
steel fitting in smalljar. For complete

Installationof Foot Pedal
Push hose (fromfoot pedal) onto tube on
the electrical panel marked
"pneumaticfoot pedal".
(if it does not fit snugly trim about 1"off the
hose) That's it your done!

Afully enclosedsoundinsulatedhousingwithwhisperquietcooling
fan, permits the modular pump motor to run continuously, producing
vapor pressure vacuum in the disposable 1.5 liter container. Vapor
pressurevacuum isthe maximumvacuum obtainableinthe operating
room. This can be recognizedby the bubbling of the evacuatedbody
fluids. At sealevel,thegaugewillread29.25"or743mmHg. Avacuum
of 28" Hg is obtained by the Grams Aspirator, Model S-300 in 12
seconds.
Pump and motor module is one piece, light weight construction,
easilyremovedforservicewithouttools. Theoiltype,two stage,rotary
pump in the Grams Aspirator is one of the most efficient in producing
deepvacuum. When lessthanfull vacuum is needed,a bleedervalve
can control the amount of vacuumfrom 0 to 30" Hg.
An intake filter protects the motor from particle contamination.
Operating roomqualityair isassuredby an easily maintainedexhaust
filter which traps oil mist and condensation.
The modular electrical panel incorporates a pneumaticpush on

pushoff foot pedal. The motor is thermally protectedand an external
circuit breaker protects the panelfrom electrical overload. A molded
hospital grade power plug is attached to the power cord.
The housingispowdercoatedaluminumclamshelldesignfor easy

containment system can be removedfor compact portability.

case of spillage, all components, including the pump, can be easily
serviced by non-technical personnel, without tools. The modular
concept of the pump, filters and electrical panel, makes factory
replacementand service simple.
Disposable Containment System is a cost effective, semi-rigid
disposable liner and lid supported by a rigid clear outer canister. The
reusable outer canister is markedwith graduationsfrom 10to 30 cc.,
