The NEW HOSPIVAC 400 / NEW HOSPIVAC 350 suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication. It is necessary to check functioning and
instrument before every use. Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and feeding cable, they might have been damaged during
previous use.
Always check the integrity of the footswitch power cord. Connect cable to electrical network and turn switch on.
Close the aspiration outlet with your finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum position check that the vacuum indicators reaches -90 kPa (-0.90
bar) maximum. Rotate the knob from right to left and check the aspiration regulating control. The vacuum indicator should go down -40 kPa (-0.40 bar).
Verify that loud noises are not present, these can indicate wrong functioning. A protection fuse (F 1 x 4A 250V) reachable from exterior and it situated in the
plug protects the instrument. For use replacing, always check the type and the range indicated.
Fault type
1. The suction unit doesn't
work
2. No aspiration
3. No aspiration
4. The Vacuum power on the
patient side is either very low
or absent
5. The float doesn't close
6. The float doesn't close
7. Low suction
Faults 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7
If the overfill security system it's activated, don't proceede with the liquid aspiration.
If the overfill security system doesn't work there are two cases:
1° case – If the overfill security system doesn't work the aspiration will be stopped by the bacteriological filter who avoid the liquid penetration inside the device.
2° case – If both the security system doesn't work, there is the possibility that liquid comes inside the device, in this case return the device to CA-MI
technical service.
CA.MI. snc will provide upon request electric diagrams, components list, descriptions, setting instructions and any other information that can
help the technical assistance staff for product repair.
BEFORE EVERY CHECKING OPERATION, IN CASE OF ANOMALIES OR BAD FUNCTIONING, PLEASE CONTACT CA-MI TECHNICAL
CA-MI DOES NOT GIVE GUARANTEE IF INSTRUMENT, AFTER THE TECHNICAL SERVICE CHECKING, APPEARS TO BE TAMPERED.
•
Connect the short silicon tube fitted with the antibacterial filter with the device suction union (you may choose either the right or the left union).
•
The other tube, by one end connected with the filter, should instead be connected with the union on the tank lid marked as "VACUUM" in which the
float (signalling when the device is too full) is fitted.
The float signals when the maximum level of volume is reached (i.e. 90% of the tank volume has already been used) to prevent liquid from entering the
machine (the float closes the lid junction). This equipment should only be utilised on an horizontal working surface.
WARNING: Ensure that the IN marker on the filter is on the side facing the collection jar lid and fitted into the "VACUUM".
A wrong connection causes immediate destruction in case of contact with sucked liquids.
MAINTENANCE
Cause
Cable is damaged
External power source failure
Jar Cap badly screwed down
Lid seal not in its seat
a) Vacuum regulator set to minimum
b) Protection filter blocked or damaged
c) Connection tubes blocked, kinked or
disconnected
d) Shut-off valve blocked or damaged
e) Pump motor damaged
If the cap has been washed, ensure that the
float is not partially detached
The float it's covered by dirty material
Foam inside the jar
None of the remedies has achieved the
desired results
INSTRUCTIONS
Replace the cable
Check the external power source
Unscrewed the cap, then rescrew it correctly
Unscrew the cap and insert the seal properly in its seat
a) Turn the vacuum regulator clockwise and check the value of the
vacuum on the gauge
b) Replace the filter
c) Replace or reconnect the tubes, check the jar connections
d) Empty the jar, or disconnect the tube from the jar and unblock the
shut-off valve. The unit twill only work in the upright position
e) Refer to authorised service personnel
Insert the float into it's place
Unscrewed the cap, leave the and put in on autoclave
Fill the jar to 1/3 full of ordinary water
