INTENDED uSE

ASPIRA is an extractor for medical and surgical use. It can be used in health care structures like hospitals, in home
care and for pharyngeal aspiration. The device generates suction (aspiration) which allows fluids to be extracted
through single use tubing connected to a collection canister which retains the fluids until they can be properly
disposed of. Use of the device must be prescribed by a doctor.
Carefully follow the user and maintenance instructions to ensure proper functioning and to extend the life of the
device.
ASPIRA (1) is equipped with vacuum flow adjustment knob (4), vacuum gauge (3) and 1000 ml canister (9) with
overflow safety device (10) to prevent fluids from entering the suction pump. This device interrupts the vacuum
flow via a float-controlled valve found in the cannister lid. It does not require lubrication, is manageable, simple
to use, reliable, resistant and quiet. ASPIRA is equipped with the following FLAEM accessories: 1000 ml canister (9)
with overflow safety device (10), tubing connection (6/8/14), single use antibacterial/antiviral hydrophobic filter
(7), single use aspirator tip (16), single use manual vacuum flow control (15).
Note: use only original FLAEM accessories

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

The manufacturer makes every effort to ensure that every product is of the highest quality and safety; however,
as for any electrical device, basic safety regulations must always be followed in order to avoid harming persons
and things.
• Before using the product for the first time, and periodically during its lifetime, check the power cable to make
sure it is not damaged. In the event it should be damaged, do not plug in the cable and immediately bring the
product to an authorised FLAEM service centre or to your trusted dealer.
• In the presence of children and non self-sufficient individuals, the device must be used under the close super-
vision of an adult who has read this manual.
• Some parts of the device are small enough to be swallowed by children; keep the device out of the reach of
children.
• Do not use the provided tubing and cables for any other purpose than those specified, as they can cause risk
of strangulation. Be particularly attentive with children and individuals with disabilities because they are often
unable to correctly assess risk.
• The suction machine is intended exclusively for the collection of NON-flammable fluids. It is not suitable for
use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air, or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Always keep the power cable away from hot surfaces.
• Keep the power cable away from animals (for example, rodents) which could damage the insulation.
• Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Do not use the device in damp conditions (for example when taking
a bath or shower). Do not immerse the device in water; in the event of immersion immediately disconnect
the plug. Do not remove or touch the immersed device; unplug the power cable first. Immediately bring the
device to an authorised FLAEM service centre or to your trusted dealer.
