2OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
2.1 Before use
DThe unit must be used solely for its designed purpose, that is endoscopic aspiration and general medical or surgical
suction in a health care facility. This device is a ‘high vacuum, high flow’ device and is not intended for thoracic
drainage.
DExplosion hazard -- never install or use the KV--5 within the zone of risk of flammable gases.
DThe unit is fitted with two M6 transit screws to protect the pump during transportation. Before use, remove both
screws with fibre washers using the 4mm A/F Allen key provided (Figure 2-1), then remove the label from the top of
the unit. Store these items safely as they must be refitted when transporting the unit.
FIGURE 2-1
CAUTION: REMOVE TRANSIT
SCREWS BEFORE USE. REPLACE
BEFORE TRANSPORTATION.
DExcessive frothing in the suction jar during use may inhibit operation of the fluid cut--off mechanism -- use a
proprietary anti--foam agent as necessary to minimise frothing.
DThe electrical installation of the room where the unit is to be used must comply with local or national regulations.
DThe KV-5 is not intended to be used when positioned on inclined surfaces as the suction jar fluid cut--off mechanism
may not function correctly.
DThe unit is only to be used by suitably qualified personnel in accordance with these instructions.
DReplace the microbial filter daily or when contaminated.
DDo not use anti-static tubing to connect the endoscope to the suction pump as patient safety may be compromised.
DThe suction jar must never be used ‘free standing’ on the workstation or any surface. The 1 litre suction jar simply
slides into the bracket provided on the front panel of the unit as shown on page 2, the 2 litre suction jar should be
secured to workstation using the suction jar bracket.
DPeriodically inspect the suction jar for obvious signs of wear/damage and replace if necessary.
DIf the suction jar is dropped, it must be thoroughly inspected to ensure there are no cracks and tested to ensure the
lid is sealing correctly. If damage or a leak is evident, discard the suction jar and replace.
DWhen a suction jar is attached to a workstation using the optional suction jar bracket, remove the suction jar before
manoeuvring the workstation.

SUCTION PUMP KV--5 6
DEnsure the exhaust at the rear of the unit is unobstructed when the unit is operational.
DStore and use the KV--5 within the environmental conditions described in Section 6; failure to do so may lead to
equipment malfunction or failure.
DOnly use replacement parts and accessories as specified in Section 5.3. Failure to do so may lead to equipment
malfunction or failure.
2.2 During use
DDo NOT lift the suction jar by the lid, always grip with two hands on either side of the suction jar, otherwise the cap
and jar may become separated and spillage of its contents may result.
DIf aspirated material has been drawn past the microbial filter and into the pump, the unit must be removed from use
and returned to Olympus for service.
DTo prevent liquid backflow within the patient connecting tube, always leave the unit running until the patient tube is
disconnected from the suction jar.
2.3 After use
DIf single use suction liners are not being used, the suction jar will contain potentially infectious body fluids. Take
suitable precautions, as dictated by local hospital policy, such as use of personal protective equipment, and empty
into a suitable waste disposal system, together with an appropriate quantity of water to dilute the jar contents.
DSingle use suction liners, used filters and suction tubing will contain potentially infectious material. Dispose of
carefully as dictated by local hospital policy as clinical waste for incineration.
DAlways empty the suction jar before moving the equipment. Care should be taken to obtain a firm grip underneath
the body of the equipment before moving. The suction jar holder must never be used as a hand hold or carrying
handle.
3INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

4.1 Remove the filter connecting tube and clean using neutral detergent and water. The tube may be sterilised by autoclaving
(upto137˚C max) after removing the 90˚connector, which should be replaced. The microbialfilter should be replaced daily
or when contaminated. Replace the patient connecting tube when contaminated or at the end of each patient list.
CAUTION
The patient tube is not autoclavable.
4.2 Following use, remove the lid from the jar by disconnecting the lid clips and where applicable remove the float assembly.
Clean thoroughly using a soft brush and mild detergent solution. The suction jar cap may be sterilised by autoclaving up
to 137˚C max according to hospital policy, then reassembled for further use.
CAUTION
Do not use phenol-- or chlorine--based disinfectants to decontaminate the suction jar lid as damage and rapid
deterioration of these components will result.
4.3 The suction jar may be sterilised by autoclaving up to 137˚C max according to hospital policy, or disinfected by cold fluid
immersion.
CAUTION
Do not use phenol or chlorine based disinfectants to clean the suction jar as damage to the jar may result.
Do not place alcohol or aldehyde-based detergents, antiseptics or antifoam agents in the suction jar prior to
use, as any vapour released may damage the hydrophobic filter. This may result in fluid ingress to the vacuum
pump, which will then need to be serviced or replaced.
Do not stack suction jars when autoclaving as damage to the jar may result.
Contact with non-ionic detergents, such as those found in thermo-chemical disinfection can cause cracking of
the suction jar.
Ensure the suction jar is thoroughly rinsed with fresh water following disinfection.
4.4 Clean the KV-5 casing, including the microbial filter housing, by wiping with a cloth dampened with detergent and water or
alcohol impregnated swab. Thoroughly rinse off any detergent using a soft cloth dampened with clean water.

Single--use
suction liner
To prevent fluid from being drawn up to the pump, the single--use suction liners, available in 1 or 2 litre versions,
contain a mechanism to shut off the flow when the liner is overfilled. This mechanism is activated when contact
is made with aspirated fluid. The single--use liners also contain a solidifier to aid safe disposal.
Suction jar The 1 and 2 litre suction jars are manufactured from polysulfone, allowing them to be autoclaved up to 137˚C
max. The suction jar is impact resistant.
Suction jar lid
The suction jar lid clips and where applicable the float mechanism, are autoclavable up to 137˚C max. The inlet
connection (from the endoscope) is marked with the word PATIENT, the outlet connection (to the filter) is marked
with the word VACUUM. An optional lid is available having an integral float mechanism for use without
single--use suction liners.
Suction tubing
The filter tubing supplied is silicone rubber, 6.0mm internal diameter, 12.0mm external diameter. The sterile
patient tubing supplied is PVC, 7.0mm internal diameter, 10.0mm external diameter. Use only tubing with the
specified dimensions, otherwise equipment malfunction may result.
The patient tube connects to a barbed connector on the suction jar cap and the filter tube has a removable 90˚
connector which is a push--fit into the suction jar cap.
Vacuum gauge Range: 0 to 100 kPa Accuracy: better than±2.5% of full scale

7TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
7.1 Mechanical Operation
RefertoFigure7-1
The pump used in the KV-5 is a piston unit. The pump is connected to the suction jar by silicone tubing and has an
in-line microbial filter. A suction tube connects the endoscope or other devices to the suction jar. When the KV-5 is
switched on, a vacuum is created in the suction jar, which results in suction through the endoscope when the
appropriate endoscope control is operated, or through other devices. The vacuum level is controlled by a regulator
located on the front panel to which a vacuum gauge is connected. Air is drawn through the pump and is then exhausted
to atmosphere, passing through the exhaust at the rear of the unit.
7.2 Electrical Operation
RefertoFigure7-2
Power is provided to the unit from the AC power supply by the power supply lead.
The power socket at the rear of the unit has an integral fuseholder through which power is supplied to the power switch.
When the power switch is switched to the ‘l’ position, power is supplied to the motor, enabling the pump to operate.
Technical information regarding this product is available on request to assist suitably qualified personnel with repairs.
Contact Olympus regarding this information.
