Intruction manual: Ball pump
Intended use
The ball pump is used to ventilate a VAKUFORM vacuum system. The ball pump is operated
manually. The pumping action is generated by compressing the air bellows/hollow body. The
connection is made by inserting the plug-in connector into the Ventililation valve until it clicks
into place (5).

Disconnecting the ventillation valve
from plug-in connector
Valve and plug-in connector are separated by pulling back
the locking sleeve (6).
Creating a Vacuum
To achieve a f irm and stable cushion shape,
you must pump the air out of the cushion. To do this,
connect the plug-in connectors of the ball pump with the
red marking to the ventilation valve of the cushion.
Pressure
To adapt the cushion to the patient, the cushion must be made softer. This is done by pumping air
into the cushion. To do this, connect the plug-in connector with the black marking to the ventilation
valve.
