Emptying secretion jar
The jar lid of the secretion jar is equipped with an overflow protection system to prevent the vacuum system from
being flooded by secretion fluids at high filling levels of the secretion jar. Therefor a float gauge is responsible.
At high filling levels of the secretion jar and the resulting locking of the overflow protection system the secretion jar
has to be emptied or replaced by another secretion jar.
1. Swich off suction pump.
2. Disconnect tubes from the secretion jar lid.
3. Unhinge full secretion jar from the secretion jar mount and dispose of secretion fluids according to national
disposal regulations.
4. Procure used secretion jars to the reprocessing cycle.
5. Connect suspended tubes with new, ready to use secretion jar.

Function control
To obtain trouble-free operation of the suction pump all the components and functions of the pump system have to
be tested prior every assignment.
General functions:
1. Use the power switch "I/O", at the rear of the device, to switch the device on, LED is illuminated.
2. Device fan is running.
Suction pump with pneumatic pedal:
1. Use the power switch "I/O", at the rear of the device, to switch the device on, LED is illuminated.
2. Device fan is running.
3. Hold hand in front of the «Exhaust» (Rear of the device). Airflow is perceptible.
4. Press pneumatic pedal shortly to activate the suction pump.
5. Turn Vacuum Controler clockwise (equivalent to vacuum maximum).
6. Control vacuum intensity at the opening of the cannula. Strong suction performance.
7. Turn Vacuum Controller anticlockwise all the way to the stop (equivalent to vacuum minimum).
8. Control vacuum intensity at the opening of the cannula. Weak suction performance.
9. Use the power switch "I/O", at the rear of the device, to switch off device, LED is not illuminated.
Suction pump with pneumatic pedal and Vario-AIR-Pedal:
1. Use the power switch "I/O", at the rear of the device, to switch the device on, LED is illuminated.
2. Device fan is running.
3. Hold hand in front of the «Exhaust» (Rear of the device). Airflow is perceptible.
4. Press pneumatic pedal shortly to activate the suction pump.
5. Turn Vacuum Controler clockwise (equivalent to vacuum maximum).
6. Control vacuum intensity at the cannulas opening. Strong suction performance.
7. Press Vario-AIR-Pedal. The more it is pressed, the weaker the suction performance at the cannula.
8. Turn Vacuum Controller anticlockwise all the way to the stop (equivalent to vacuum minimum).
9. Control vacuum intensity at the cannulas opening. Weak suction performance.
10. Press Vario-AIR-Pedal. The more it is pressed, the weaker the suction performance at the cannula.
The suction performance now is not perceptible anymore.
11. Use the power switch "I/O", at the rear of the device, to switch off device, LED is not illuminated.
