3A HEALTH CARE ASPEED 3.0 Manual De Instrucciones página 12

• The device is not watertight.
• Be sure to use the device at a place where the power plug is easily accessible during application. Always unplug the power supply cable
immediately after use.
• Ensure that the connections and vessel closing are performed carefully to prevent suction losses.
• Do not turn over the vessel while it is connected to the device in function, since the liquid would come into contact with the hydro phobic
antibacterial filter, immediately blocking suction; in case this happens, empty the vessel and replace the antibacterial filter.
• In the event of aspiration without the container and/or antibacterial filter, or if it is suspected that solid and liquid substances have entered the
aspiration circuit, it is necessary to send the device to the customer care service.
• In view of their length, the power cord and connection hose could constitute a strangulation hazard.
• The cannula and the manual control of the flow are sterile and single use products: they must be replaced after each application. Check the
expiration date on the original packaging of the cannula and the suction flow manual control and verify the integrity of the sterile packaging.
• The antibacterial filter is a single use device and it must be replaced after each application.
• Before each use always perform the cleaning and disinfecting operations as mentioned in the paragraph "Cleaning and disinfecting
operations" of this instructions manual.
Before each use, verify that all the accessories are perfectly clean in accordance with the instructions of the section "CLEANING AND DIS-
INFECTING OPERATIONS".
1. Connect the device as indicated in figure 1a of page 2 for the 1000 ml vessel version or figure 1b of page 3 if the 2000 ml vessel is used.
2. With the vacuum regulator (5) you can set the depression value (bar). Rotate the knob towards "+" to increase the vacuum and rotate it
towards "-" to decrease it, the values can be read on the vacuum gauge (7).
3. Turn the device on by putting the switch on the "I" position (ON) (3).
4. After the application turn off the device and unplug the cable form the power supply socket and carry out the cleaning and disinfecting
operations as described in the "CLEANING AND DISINFECTING OPERATIONS" paragraph.
5.1 Secretion collection vessel – 1000ml (fig. 2a): The 1000 ml collection bottle (1) supplied with the aspirator can be used in two
ways: as a collection vessel which can be sterilised as shown in figure 2a or as a collection vessel with disposable bag (9) as illustrated in
figure 2b. The antibacterial filter (6) must be inserted directly in the vessel' s lid (2). Never use the aspirator without the antibacterial filter,
since it is very dangerous for the patient. The collection vessel (1) is supplied with overflow valve, lid and vessel in a see through mate-
rial (polycarbonate). The antibacterial filter must be placed directly in the lid, only on the hole called VACUUM/VUOTO. The antibacterial
filter protects the suction circuit from possible contaminants sucked during use. All the components of the vessel can be conventionally
sterilised in autoclave at a maximum temperature of 121°C, or by boiling them for 10 minutes. We recommend to replace the whole vessel
every 30 sterilisation cycles. Do not turn over the vessel during use to prevent the backflow valve from being activated; if this happens turn
off the aspirator and remove the tube connected to the antibacterial filter. Never use the aspirator without the secretion collection vessel
and/or without the antibacterial filter.
5.1.1 Connection: connect one end of the short sterilisable silicon tube (7) to the rubber holder of the antibacterial filter (6) and put the
latter in the "VACUUM/VUOTO" input of the blue lid (2), connect the other end to the "INLET" input of the aspirator. Connect one end of
the sterilisable silicon tube (8) to the "PATIENT/PAZIENTE" input of the blue lid; connect the sterile single-use manual regulator (11) to
the other end and connect the single-use sterile cannula (10) to the regulator.
5.2 Secretion collection vessel with single use bag (fig. 2b).
The aspirator can be used with the 1000 cc re-usable transparent secretion collection vessel (1) and with the single use bag (9) supplied.
In this case the antibacterial filter is integrated in the single-use bag, therefore the antibacterial filter (6) and the blue lid with the valve
(2) should not be used. The filter embedded in the bag, also prevents the reflux of the liquids sucked towards the aspirator when it is
full, or when it is inadvertently turned over. In this case to restore the device to normal operation, the single use bag shall
be replaced. For the cleaning and disinfecting operations of the tubes (7-8) and vessel (1), sterilise the single parts in autoclave at a
maximum temperature of 121°C, or by boiling them for 10 minutes. The bag is single use and it MUST be replaced after each
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 (75 kPa).
5.2.1 Connection: connect one end of the short sterilisable silicon tube (7) to the yellow rubber holder (VACUUM) of the bag (9) and the
other end to the "INLET" input of the aspirator. Connect one end of the long sterilisable silicon tube (8) to the red rubber holder (PATIENT)
of the bag (9) and connect the sterile single-use manual regulator (11) and the single-use sterile cannula (10) to the other end. N.B.:
only use the single use bags supplied by 3A - Code 3A1687.
