6. Service and Maintenance

IMPORTANT NOTE: To
guarantee safe operation, it is
necessary to carry out proper care and
maintenance of the Vacuum Pump and

according to the manual instructions
before you use them.
WARNING: Do not sterilise the
Vacuum Pump!

functionality test must be performed
every six months.
Conversion Note:
mmHg kPa mBar
1 0,13332 1,3332
5 0,7 7
198 26,4 264
200 26,7 267
202 26,9 269
500 66,7 667
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the
vacuum value is not reached or
if the value begins to decrease
again, then there is a leak. Check
the Disposable Vacuum Line with
Hydrophobic Filter.
WARNING: If you should
find or suspect deficiencies in the
Vacuum Pump during the described
function control, the device must
not be used until it has been
repaired by the authorised service
agent.
Never use the Vacuum Pump if there
are obvious deficiencies, especially
involving the power plugs or the
power supply connection cables.
Arrange for repair by an authorised
service agent.
To preserve the Vacuum Pump and ensure its proper functioning, proper service, maintenance and storage must
be provided for. To protect the patient from infection, all disposables that come into contact with human tissue (eg.
test tubes and tubing) must be sterile. Disposables must be discarded after each patient use.

6.1 Cleaning the Device

After each use of the Vacuum Pump, turn off the device and disconnect the device from mains power.
Using an aqueous 70% alcohol (eg. ethanol or isopropyl) solution, moisten a cloth and wipe all external surfaces of
the device. Prevent any fluid from entering the device.
Do not use a 100% alcohol solution to clean the device, this may cause damage to the front surface.

6.2 Biannual Functionality Testing

In order to preserve the Vacuum Pump and maintain its safety, regular inspections are necessary for early detection
of possible malfunctions.
Regulations stipulate that the user or a qualified technician must regularly test the device to assess its functionality
and electrical safety. These tests must be performed on a biannual basis.

6.2.1 Functionality Test

1
1. Vacuum Pump under test.
2. Manometer compatible 0 to -1000 mBar.
1. The basic function test is intended to check the Foot Pedal and the vacuum.
2. Ensure that the Vacuum Pump is set to display in mmHg mode (see § 3.12).
3. Connect the Foot Pedal and switch the Vacuum Pump on.
4. Set the vacuum to -200 mmHg.
5. Activate the Foot Pedal Function.
6. The Vacuum Motor and Chime should be audible (refer to §3.15 if no chime) and the Vacuum Supplied Indicator
should light up.
7. Deactivate the Foot Pedal Function.
8. Connect a silicone tube and a manometer with vacuum measurement capability to the Patient Tube
Connection.
9. Activate the Foot Pedal Function.
10. The manometer should show a vacuum of -267 mBar ±7 mBar.
11. Press and hold the Boost Touch–Pad.
12. The Vacuum Pump should achieve and display a vacuum of -500 ±5 mmHg. Note there may be a small
overshoot (up to -530 mmHg). Check the manometer reading corresponds to the Vacuum Pump display
±7 mBar.
13. Release the Boost Touch–Pad.
14. Deactivate the Foot Pedal Function. The basic function test is completed.
If the Vacuum Display is not correct the Vacuum Pump should be serviced by an authorised service agent.
