Using the Suction Function

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 container.

CAUTION!

Only use containers with overflow protection.

1. Connect the device with the vacuum tube with filter (1).

2. Connect the vacuum tube (1) with the container (2).

3. Connect the 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/Stopping Suction

Start suctionOn the touchscreen, press the [VAC] button to activate suction level LOW or

HIGH. The vacuum pump generates a negative pressure. Once a negative pres-

sure 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.

7.3 Replacing the Secretion Container

CAUTION!

Full secretion containers must be replaced immediately without stopping sur-

gery. If the overflow protection of the secretion containers is triggered, suction

is stopped to prevent the ingress of fluids.

Container change during surgeryThe full secretion container can be replaced with an empty one during surgery.

1. Stop the suction (see chapter 7.2 Starting/Stopping Suction).

2. Replace the full secretion container with an empty one.

3. Start the suction (see chapter 7.2 Starting/Stopping Suction).

7.4 Safety Functions

Defective vacuum pumpIf the suction function or vacuum pump is malfunctioning, the status line depicts

the following warning message: Vacuum pump defective. An acoustic signal

(beep) is emitted 3x. Surgery can be continued. After surgery, safeguard the de-

vice until checked by an authorized service technician.
