Intended use

ll
The Basic 30 is indicated for the vacuum extraction, aspiration and removal of surgical fluids,
tissues (including bones), gases, bodily fluids or infectious materials from wounds or from the
airways of the patient eitherduring surgery or on the ward.

Applications

• General surgery
• Vacuum extraction
For vacuum extraction, the Basic 30 must be used in combination with Medela accessories
(suction cups and tubes). Otherwise, Medela can not guarantee the safe functioning of the
system.
• Wound drainage
When the Basic 30 is used for wound drainage, it must be ensured that the wound
does not dry out and that the dressing is applied tightly. If an unusually high amount of
fluids collects in the secretion container (high blood loss), the wound drainage must be
interrupted.
• ENT
A replacement device must always be available for patients for whom a breakdown of
the device can lead to a critical situation (e.g. patients with dyspnoea or heavy mucous
congestion).

Contraindications

Currently no contraindications are known to us.
Important Note
Compliance with proper surgical procedures and techniques is the responsibility of the phy-
sician. Each physician must evaluate the appropriateness of the treatment based on his own
knowledge and experience.
