WARNING!
Filter
The vacuum tube with integrated filter PG139 is designed for max. 28 days. In
case the PG139 is not used, please use a new/sterile filter for each patient. Please
insert a hydrophobic 2-way, 0.2 μm filter (filtering rate of 99.99%) between pa-
tient and device. The filter prevents bodily fluids from entering the inside of the
device and possible contaminants from the device reaching the patient. Please
note that the filter may reduce the suction capacity.
CAUTION!
Only if the tube system is pre-evacuated (building a vacuum), the full suction ca-
pacity is available. Pre-evacuation takes about 30 to 60 seconds depending on
the volume of the secretion container.
CAUTION!
Only use secretion containers with overflow protection.
1. Connect the device with the secretion container tube with filter (1).
2. Connect the secretion container tube (1) with the secretion container (2).
3. Connect the secretion container (2) with the suction instrument tube (3)
4. Connect the suction instrument tube (3) with the suction instrument (4).
5. Close the inflow valve of the suction instrument.
7.2 Starting Suction
Start suction
On the touchscreen, press the symbols [1] or [2] to activate suction level 1 or 2.
The vacuum pump generates a negative pressure. Once a negative pressure
matching the respective suction level has been reached, the vacuum pump stops.
As soon as the negative pressure falls below the respective suction level setting,
the vacuum pump restarts within 3 seconds.
