General Description
The SSCOR Quickdraw is a non‐sterile hand held 12V DC baery powered portable sucon device to be used by profes‐
sional personnel trained in Emergency Care techniques of constant suconing to clear the airway by removing bodily
fluids and parculate maer. Sucon power can be regulated when full power may be considered harmful to the pa‐
ent. A fully charged sealed lead acid baery will power the unit for 30 minutes (±10%). The baery is charged by an
internal, dual mode baery charger. Baery condion is automacally monitored and is indicated by LED’s on the side
of the chassis. The charging system will fully charge the baery in 3 to 4 hours when connected to an electrical power
source. SSCOR sucon units are powered by sealed lead acid baeries. A sealed lead acid baery is a very stable and
reliable baery. Many factors can affect the life of a baery:
•Failing to charge a baery for an extended period of me will cause the baery to go into deep discharge. A baery
should be charged within 6 months of storage.
•Low temperatures (below 0°F or 32°C) may reduce the available baery capacity.
•High temperatures above 140°F or 60°C may cause deformaon of the baery case and damage the baery. Sealed
lead acid baeries can easily be maintained to permit proper operaon of the equipment. To protect the baery, aer
each procedure turn the unit off, put the unit on charge and always store the sucon device at room temperature. The
only way to assure the baery has funconal capacity, even if it is indicated the baery is fully charged, is to perform
the baery test suggested on page 6 of this operaons manual.
Baery Warning
The 80613 alkaline baery will power the sealed lead acid version of the Quickdraw (Models 2400, 2401, and 2402) for
180 minutes (± 10%), however, the baery condion LEDs will not accurately display the condion of the baery and
the alkaline baery cannot be charged.
The 80615 10xAAA baery holder is to be used exclusively with the Model 2403 Series alkaline baery version of the
SSCOR Quickdraw. The 80615 10xAAA Baery Holder is not intended to be used with the Model 2400 Series, 2401 and
2402 sealed lead acid version of the SSCOR Quickdraw.
Warranty
SSCOR warrants that each new product is free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use
and service for a period of one year from date of purchase. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and
you may also have other rights that vary from jurisdicon to jurisdicon. For countries where minimum war‐
ranty terms are determined by statute, the warranty term is the longer of the statutory period or the term
listed above. Baeries, disposable items including collecon canisters, paent tubing and catheters are ex‐
cluded from this warranty.

Operaon of Unit for Portable Use:
Disconnect the unit from the charging source and turn the unit on (3). Make sure the canister is in the
operang posion. Check baery condion indicators when operang the device. A fully charged sealed
lead acid baery will power the unit for 30 minutes (±10%). Baery condion is automacally monitored
and is indicated by LED’s on the side of the chassis.
Significance of LED Indicators (2) on the Chassis:
When the unit is first plugged into a power source, the yellow LED will blink. The LED will stop blinking and
remain lit while the baery is charging. If the yellow LED does not stop blinking, confirm the baery is
properly installed in the device. If the yellow LED does not stop blinking, you may have a bad baery. It
may be me to replace the baery. When the baery has reached a full charge, the green LED will light.
When the Quickdraw is running and there is approximately one‐third baery life remaining, the red LED
will light. When the baery is virtually depleted and only a few minutes run me remain, the red LED will
begin blinking. In order to protect the baery from a deep discharge condion, the PC Board will
automacally turn the device offwhen there is not enough power to effecvely run the device. Put the
device back on charge or install a fully charged baery into the Quickdraw sucon device. The charging
system will fully charge the baery in 3 to 4 hours when connected to an electrical power source. To
protect the baery, aer each procedure turn the unit off, put the unit on charge and always store the
pump at room temperature.
Two Posion Regulator
If full power (‐500+mmHg) is not required, the units low seng is available by removing the regulator vent
cap from the regulator vent (4). Be sure to replace the cap on the vent when full power is required or to
dispose of the canister.
DC Baery Charging from Vehicle
To charge the Quickdraw from the vehicle’s DC electrical system, connect the DC power cable to the
cigaree lighter receptacle in the vehicle or hard wire the DC power cable to a properly fused DC vehicle
circuit (in front of the master switch) or plug the cord into the cigaree lighter adapter. Connect the DC
power cable to the Quickdraw by securely aaching the charging plug (1.1A) into the receptacle (1A). This
charging method is designed to keep the baery charged at all mes. If the sucon unit is operated while it
is hooked up to the vehicle it will ulize the vehicle power and save its own baery for emergency use. All
SSCOR, Inc. sucon units have a diode to prevent draw‐down from the pump to the vehicle electrical
system and a fuse to protect the pump from vehicle electrical surges. If your sucon unit is wired to the
vehicle baery via an automac load switch power supply, be sure to use a filter in order to eliminate any
voltage spikes.
DC Baery Charging from AC Power
The 80521‐100 and 80522‐100 AC power converters only charge the Quickdraw baery, they will not run
the pump. The Quickdraw must be disconnected from the converter to operate. The 80529 charger will
charge the baeries and run the Quickdraw sucon device from an AC power source.

Canister Automac Shut‐Off:
When the hydrophobic filter comes into contact with fluids, it will occlude the system and the unit will not
sucon. When the canister capacity limit of 300cc/ml is exceeded or when a canister containing liquid is held
upside down or vercally with the catheter pointed upward, the airflow will be shut offwhen liquids contact
the hydrophobic filter (5). ONCE THE FILTER COMES INTO CONTACT WITH FLUIDS, THE UNIT WILL NOT
SUCTION UNTIL A NEW CANISTER IS INSTALLED. CHANGE CANISTER IMMEDIATELY AFTER MOISTURE SHUTS
DOWN THE UNIT.
Canister Disposal Aer Use:
The canister is for single use only. Replace the cap to the p of the catheter (6) while the pump is sll
running to trap fluids before they spill. Dispose of the canister according to local / regional / naonal
requirements for the disposal of hazardous waste. Install a new non‐sterile single use canister on the unit.
Return the device to the charging source as soon as possible.
Canister Installaon and Storage:
Slide the canister into the front rails of the chassis unl the canister is locked in place:
Storing Canisters on the Chassis for Space Saving Portability:
Reverse the posion of the canister and slide the body of the canister into the rails and the catheter p
through the retenon ring. Push the canister toward the chassis unl the canister latch on top of the unit
snaps into the detent on the canister. To release the canister, pull the canister latch up and slide the body of
the canister out.
For Opmal Performance:
The sucon device is to remain plugged in whenever the device is not in use. If for any reason poor baery
quality is suspected, perform a baery test.
BATTERY TEST:
Run the following test whenever poor baery quality is suspected.
 Confirm the power cord is supplying power to the device. Check the power indicator light on the control
panel.
 Remove the power cord.
 Turn the device on and check for vacuum by occluding the canister.
 Allow the unit to run for 15 minutes on DC power. If the unit stops or slows during the 15 minutes, or if
the baery condion indicators begin to blink, it is possible the baery capacity has been depleted. It is
me to replace the baery.
 If the unit is sll running at full power aer 15 minutes, turn the device offand put it back on charge.
 Reconnect the device to the charging source.
SSCOR recommends replacing the baery aer3 years

Internal Access
Rev. M (02/17)

Observe the following maintenance roune to ensure readiness at any me:
1. When the SSCOR aspirator is not in use, keep baeries on connuous charge.
2. Test the SSCOR aspirator at regular intervals; See page 6.
3. Make sure the SSCOR aspirator is always clean and ready for use.
Note : No part requires lubricaon and lubricants should not be used.
Sanitaon
As soon as possible aer use, the single use disposable canister, paent tubing and catheter should be
discarded according to local / regional / naonal requirements for the disposal of hazardous waste
materials. Clean using a mild detergent and if necessary disinfect with a mild disinfectant such as 10 to 1
bleach and rinse using clear water to remove any residue.
NOTE: The hydrophobic filter in the canister helps to ensure that no moisture or parculate maer reaches
the inside of the device. In the unlikely event that fluids may have reached the vacuum pump, read the
disinfecon secon. Do not reuse any single use disposable parts; do not submerge the device into any
liquid, this will void the warranty and cause the device to malfuncon.
Disinfecon
Use personal protecve equipment such as gloves, a smock, and face and eye protecon when handling
units that are suspected to be contaminated.
Cauon: Disconnect the unit from any power source prior to cleaning the unit. When cleaning the interi‐
or of the chassis, disconnect the baery from the PC Board to prevent damaging the PC Board.
Part Cleaning and Disinfecng
Collecon Canister Disposable item, re‐use not permied. Use new canister for each paent.
Paent Tubing Disposable item, re‐use not permied. Use new paent tubing for each paent.
HI‐D® Sck Disposable item, re‐use not permied. Use new HI‐D Sck for each paent.
Vacuum Pump Wipe with damp cloth or disinfectant wipe. Sterilizaon not permied. Vacuum
pump should be replaced if contaminated
PC Board Sterilizaon not permied. PC Board should be replaced if contaminated
Plasc Chassis Wipe with damp cloth or disinfectant wipe. Sterilizaon not permied.
Disinfect the unit using a mild surface disinfectant, such as a 10:1 mixture of water and bleach. The unit is
designed to sucon contaminated fluids, which should be removed from the system immediately aer use.
In the unlikely event that fluids may have reached the vacuum pump, your engineering department will have
to open the unit to check the condion of the pump. When cleaning the interior of the chassis, disconnect
the baery from the PC Board to prevent damaging the PC Board. The only foreseeable way fluids may reach
the vacuum pump is that the filter in the canister has been compromised or bypassed.
If the PC Board appears defecve, return the unit to the factory for repair. Do not aempt to repair the PC
Board. If the vacuum pump appears defecve, return the unit to the factory for repair. Do not aempt to
repair the vacuum pump. For technical assistance, call (800) 434‐5211 or +1 (818) 504‐4054.
