Securely attach lid to container.
3.
Insert container into holder and gently push into place.
4.
Connect either end of the 4-1/2" (11.43 cm) reusable tubing or 3-3/8" (8.57 cm) disposable tubing to the tubing connector then connect the other end to the bacteria filter.
NOTE– If connection tubing in the 22330 Kit is longer than specified measurements, cut tube to 4-1/2" (11.43 cm) to provide a good fit with the unit. Ensure that the clear
side of the bacteria filter is toward elbow and container when installing/re-installing. Do not reverse direction of filter.
5.
The bacteria filter should then be connected to the 90˚ elbow connection, and the 90˚ connection should be connected to the top of the container lid where it says
<Vacuum>.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR 7305 SERIES DEVILBISS SUCTION UNIT
Before connecting the unit to the AC adapter or 12V DC cord, make sure that the power switch located on the side of the unit is in the "Off" position. Select power source
desired.
LED Explanations:
L1- Green– External power supplied to unit from AC power source or DC cord. Illuminated when external power is supplied.
L2 - Yellow– Battery is being charged. Light will go out when battery is fully charged. (7305P Series only)
L3 - Red– Low battery. Seek another power source and charge battery as soon as possible when light remains on continuous. (7305P Series only)
AC OPERATION– Plug the small connector of the AC adapter into the DC power input located on the side of the unit. Plug the AC end into a wall-outlet power source.
NOTE– The power supply may become warm to the touch during charging or running of the unit. This is normal.
12V DC OPERATION– (such as a car lighter receptacle). Plug the small connector of the DC power cord into the DC power input on the side of the unit. Plug the large
connector into the 12V DC power receptacle of the automobile.
BATTERY OPERATION– Verify that your unit has an internal rechargeable battery; factory installed on models 7305P series or provider installed on models 7305D series
(installed as an option). To ensure proper operation from internal battery, fully charge the battery for 17 hours as explained in the Battery Charging section. To operate the unit
from an internal rechargeable battery, ensure that no external power sources are plugged into the DC power input on the side of the unit.
Turn the unit "On" using the power switch located on the side of the unit. The power indicator light displayed on the top of the unit will indicate which power source is being
used by staying continuously lit when external power is connected.
WARNING
If the unit is not receiving power from an external source or the battery was not recharged immediately, the low battery indicator light will remain on and the
performance of the unit will drop off rapidly. Switch to another power source immediately after the low battery light appears to avoid an interrupted suction
procedure.
Adjust the vacuum level from 80 to 550 mm Hg by turning the vacuum regulator knob located on the side of the unit (clockwise to increase vacuum and counter-clockwise to
decrease vacuum). The gauge located on the top of the unit near the handle will allow you to select a specific level of vacuum. To accurately read the gauge, block the patient
end of the hose or cap off the collection bottle and allow the gauge to reach a stable vacuum reading.
NOTE– The vacuum (negative) pressure should be set as directed by a physician or other appropriate health care professional. Published expert consensus suggests the
suction vacuum pressure should be set as low as possible to effectively clear secretions.
than 100 mmHg in infants, less than 120 mmHg in children and less than 150 mmHg in adults has been recommended.
NOTE– Gauge is for reference only. If the unit sustains a severe drop, accuracy of the gauge must be checked.
Suction at the patient is automatically obstructed when liquid level reaches the float shut-off located on the underside of the container lid.
NOTE– Always transport unit with vacuum regulator knob rotated fully clockwise in case unit is dropped.
CAUTION– When automatic float shut-off is activated, contents of the container should be emptied. Further suctioning could cause damage to the vacuum pump.
CAUTION– Should fluid be aspirated back into the unit, equipment provider servicing is necessary as possible vacuum pump damage may result.
WARNING
This device is rated for intermittent operation use as noted in the specifications. Do not operate device with no flow or suction port blocked. Continuous operation
under this condition may cause the unit to thermal shut off or damage the device.
