NB: When aspiration is carried out using a siphon
tube, air bubbles will rise through the medium
during the aspiration process.
Place lid (1) on the vacuum bottle and ensure that
●
it fits tightly.
NB: Always keep the lid tight – otherwise a vacuum
cannot be generated in the bottle!
Connect lid (1) and pump (VACUUM connection)
●
with tube (4) on the pump side (blue, with filter).
Ensure that:
●
- The blue tube connector is fitted to the blue
socket
- The rapid-action connector is properly fitted
(it must click).
NB: Always use the integrated sterile filter on the
pump side (blue). This prevents medium from enter-
ing the pump and causing damage.
Connect the VACUBOY hand operator tube or
●
other tube (2) to the tube connector on the red
rapid-action connector
Connect sensor cable (3) between lid (1) and pump
●
(SENSOR).
3. Aspiration
Check that the venting screw is closed
●
Switch on the pump with the power switch
●
Set values for vacuum and hysteresis if necessary
●
The pump will begin to function
●
Once the bottle is full, the level indicator will be
●
activated – the LED SENSOR will blink and an
acoustic alarm starts. The pump stops. The bottle
must be emptied before proceeding further.
NB: For proper operation of the level indicator, and
to prevent the build-up of foam, we recommend the
use of normal commercial anti-foaming agents (for
example Antifoam A from Fluka or Sigma)
