operations as described in the "CLEANING AND DISINFECTING OPERATIONS" paragraph.
5. Secretion collection vessel - 1.000ml.
The 1.000 ml collection bottle 8 supplied with the aspirator can be used in two ways: as a collection vessel which can be sterilised
as shown in figure 2a or as a collection vessel with disposable bag as illustrated in figure 2b.
5.1 Sterilisable secretion collection vessel (figure 2a).
The antibacterial filter 6 must be inserted directly in the vessel's lid 2. Never use the aspirator without the antibacterial
filter, since it is very dangerous for the patient. The collection vessel 1 is supplied with overflow valve, lid and vessel in a
see through material (polycarbonate).
The antibacterial filter must be placed directly in the lid, only on the hole called VACUUM/VUOTO. The antibacterial filter protects
the suction circuit from possible contaminants sucked during use. All the components of the vessel can be conventionally sterilised
in autoclave at a maximum temperature of 121° C, or by boiling them for 10 minutes. We recommend to replace the whole vessel
every 30 sterilisation cycles.
Do not turn over the vessel during use to prevent the backflow valve from being activated; if this happens turn off the aspirator and
remove the tube connected to the antibacterial filter. Never use the aspirator without the secretion collection vessel and/or without
the antibacterial filter.
5.1.1 Connection: connect one end of the short sterilisable silicon tube 7 to the rubber holder of the antibacterial filter 6 and put
the latter in the "VACUUM/VUOTO" input of the blue lid 2, connect the other end to the "INLET" input of the aspirator.
Connect one end of the sterilisable silicon tube 8 to the "PATIENT/PAZIENTE" input of the blue lid; connect the sterile single-use
manual regulator 11 to the other end and connect the single-use sterile cannula 10 to the regulator.
5.2 Secretion collection vessel with single use bag (figure 2b).
The aspirator can be used with the 1.000 cc re-usable transparent secretion collection vessel 1 and with the single use bag 9 sup-
plied. In this case the antibacterial filter is integrated in the single-use bag, therefore the antibacterial filter 6 and the blue lid with
the valve 2 should not be used. The filter embedded in the bag, also prevents the reflux of the liquids sucked towards the aspirator
when it is full, or when it is inadvertently turned over.
In this case to restore the device to normal operation, the single use bag shall be replaced. For the cleaning and
disinfecting operations of the tubes 7-8 and vessel 1, sterilise the single parts in autoclave at a maximum temperature of 121° C, or
by boiling them for 10 minutes.
The bag is single use and it MUST be replaced after each use. The bag must be completely inserted in the vessel in order
to prevent any vacuum losses.
N.B.: maximum disposable bag usage vacuum: –0.75 bar (75 kPa).
5.2.1. Connection: connect one end of the short sterilisable silicon tube 7 to the yellow rubber holder (VACUUM) of the bag 9 and
the other end to the "INLET" input of the aspirator.
Connect one end of the long sterilisable silicon tube 8 to the red rubber holder (PATIENT) of the bag 9 and connect the sterile single-
use manual regulator 11 and the single-use sterile cannula 10 to the other end.
N.B.: only use the single use bags supplied by 3A - Code 3A1687.
N.B.: If using chemical disinfectants, follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly.
• The cannula and the suction flow manual control are sterile, single use products and must be replaced after every application.
• The antibacterial single use filter must be replaced after every application.
• Never leave the appliance in water or submerged; clean the external casing of the appliance using only a damp cloth with detergent
(non abrasive).
ASPEED 2 does not need maintenance and/or lubrication, although it is required to perform some simple checks before each use:
• Check the integrity of the shell and the power supply cable.
• Using a finger, close the suction connector and verify that the vacuum level reaches 0.80 ÷ 0.85 bar approx.
• Verify that there is no disturbing noise that may be the symptom of a malfunction.
• Check that the cage is correctly positioned inside its housing. It must be aligned with the suction hole of the lid, so the valve of the float
can obstruct it when the sucked liquid is too much against the maximum quantity that can be assimilated by the vessel (figure 2a).
• Check that the float is mounted in the right position and that it is free to slide inside the cage (dirt and deposits can obstruct its
movement).
