on, this means that the remaining autonomy is around 10 minutes (reserve). Therefore terminate the application if
possible, paying great attention to the flashing of the red pilot light. In this case do not use the appliance for more
than 3 minutes to avoid damaging the battery. If the battery is flat and you want to continue the application, if possible,
connect the multi-voltage power supply unit (4) to the appliance socket (16) and place the switch (11) to the "I" position.
2.4 At the end of the application, place the switch (11) to the "O" (OFF) position and leave the power supply unit (4)
connected to the appliance socket (16) to charge the battery. When the appliance is not in use, we recommend leaving
the power supply unit (4) connected so that the battery charge level is always optimum.
2.5 For aspiration operations see points 1.3; 1.4; 1.5.
2.6 Only use original 3A.
3. Charging the internal battery using a traditional battery charger power supply unit. (Ref. MINIASPEED
BATTERY)
3.1 The battery is charged by connecting the power supply unit (1) to the mains power supply and to the appliance
socket (17). Maximum charging time 12 hours with appliance autonomy of around 45 minutes.
3.2 When the appliance is not in use, we recommend leaving the power supply unit (4) connected so that the battery
charge level is always optimum.
3.3 For aspiration operations see points 1.3; 1.4; 1.5.

Secretion collection vessel - 1000cc. (Fig. 2)
The 1000 cc. collection bottle supplied with the aspirator can be used in two ways: as a collection vessel which can
be sterilised as shown in photograph 1A or as a collection vessel with disposable bag as illustrated in photograph 1B.
Sterilisable secretion collection vessel
The antibacterial filter (6) should be inserted directly into the vessel top. Do not use the aspirator without
the antibacterial filter, because from a bacteriological point of view, it becomes dangerous for the patient.
The collection vessel is supplied with an overflow valve, polypropylene plug (2) and polycarbonate
vessel (1). The plug (2) foresees the direct insertion of the antibacterial filter, which can only take place
on the connector called "VACUUM". The antibacterial filter also performs the function of protecting the
aspiration circuit from any contaminating agents sucked in during use. All the components of the vessel
can be sterilised using a conventional system in an autoclave at a temperature of 121°C, or by boiling
for 10 minutes. We recommend replacing the complete vessel at every 30 sterilisation cycles. Do not
overturn the vessel during use, in order to prevent the intervention of the non-return valve (3-4-5);
should this occur, switch the aspirator off and detach the tube connected to the antibacterial filter. Never
use the aspirator without the secretion collection vessel and/or without the antibacterial filter.
Connection: connect one end of the short, sterilisable silicon tube (10) to the antibacterial filter connector
(6) and insert this latter into the "VACUUM" hole of the blue top (2); connect the other end to the "INLET"
connector of the aspirator. Connect one end of the long sterilisable silicon tube to the "PATIENT"
connector of the blue top (2); to the other end, connect the disposable, sterile manual regulator (9) and
connect the disposable, sterile cannula (8) to this latter.
Secretion collection vessel with disposable bag.The aspirator can be used with the re-usable 1000
cc. transparent secretion collection vessel (1) and with the disposable bag supplied. In this case, the
antibacterial filter is integrated in the disposable bag and therefore the antibacterial filter (6) and blue
top with valve (2) are not used. The filter integrated in the bag also performs the function of preventing
the return of aspirated liquids towards the aspirator. In this case, to restore device operation, it is
necessary to replace the disposable bag. For the cleaning and disinfecting operations of the tubes and
vessel, sterilise the single parts in an autoclave at a maximum temperature of 121°C, or by boiling for
10 minutes. The bag is disposable and must always be replaced after every use. The bag must be
completely inserted in the vessel in order to prevent any vacuum losses.
N.B.: maximum disposable bag usage vacuum: -0.75 bar.
Connection: connect one end of the short sterilisable silicon tube (10) to the yellow connector (VACUUM)
of the top (photograph 1B) and the other end to the "INLET" connector of the aspirator. Connect one
end of the long sterilisable silicon tube to the red connector (PATIENT) and connect the disposable
sterile manual regulator (9) and the disposable sterile cannula (8) to the other. N.B.: only use Meditea
1 l. disposable bags - code M043002/A.
N.B.: If using chemical disinfectants, follow the manufacturer 's instructions exactly.
•
The cannula and the aspirated flow manual command are sterile, disposable products and must be replaced after every application.
•
The antibacterial disposable filter must be replaced after every application.
•
Never leave the appliance in water or submerged; clean the external casing of the appliance using only a damp
cloth with detergent (non abrasive).
