• Wear protection gloves and apron (glasses and face mask if necessary) to avoid contact with contaminating substances;
• Disconnect the tank from the device and remove the said container from the support of the device.
• Separate all the parts of the cover (overflow device, washer).
• Disconnect all tubes from the jar and the protection filter
• Wash each part of the container from secretions under cold running water and then clean every single part in hot water (temperature not exceeding 60°C)
• Once again, carefully wash each single part using, if necessary, a non-abrasive brush to remove any deposits. Rinse with hot running water and dry all parts with a soft cloth (non-abrasive). It is possible to wash with commercial disinfectants by carefully following the instructions and dilution values supplied by the manufacturer. After cleaning, leave the parts to dry in an open, clean environment.
• Dispose of the aspiration catheter according to that provided by local laws and regulations.

The silicone aspiration tubes and the conical fitting may be carefully washed in hot water (temperature must not exceed 60°C). After cleaning, leave the parts to dry in an open, clean environment.
When cleaning is complete, reassemble the container for liquid aspirations according to the following procedure:

• Place the overflow valve into its seat in the cover (under VACUUM connector)
• Insert floating valve keeping the o-ring towards the opening of the cage
• Place the o-ring into its seat around the cover
• After completing assembling operations always make sue that cover seals perfectly to avoid vacuum leackages or liquid exit

After disposing of disposable parts and disassembling the jar wash in running cold water and rinse thouroughly.
Then soak in warm water (temperature shall not exceed 60°C). Wash thouroughly and if necessary use a non-abrasive brush to remove incrustations. Rinse in running warm water and dry all parts with a soft cloth (non-abrasive).
The jar and the cover can be autoclaved by placing the parts into the autoclave and running one sterilization stem cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min) making sure that the jar is positioned upsidedown. Mechanical resistance of the jar is guaranteed up to 30 cycles of sterilization and cleaning at the indicated conditions (EN ISO 10079-1). Beyond this limit the physical-mechanical characteristics of the plastic may decrease and replacement of the part is therefore recommended.
After sterilization and cooling at environment temperature of the parts make sure that these are not damaged.
The aspiration tubes can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).
The conical connector can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).

DO NOT WASH, STERILIZE OR PUT IN AUTOCLAVE THE ANTIBACTERIAL FILTER

PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE CHECKS

The NEW ASKIR 30 suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication.
It is, however, necessary to inspect the unit before each use. With regard to training, given the information contained in the user manual and since it is easy to understand the said device, it doesn’t appear to be necessary.
Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and feeding cable, they might have been damaged during previous use. Connect the cable to electrical network and turn the switch on.
Close the aspirator outlet with your finger and with suction regulator at maximum check that the vacuum indicators reaches at least -80kPa (-0.80 bar). Rotate the knob from right to left. The vacuum indicator should go down -40kPa (-0.40 bar).
Check that no loud noises are present. A protection fuses (F 1 x 4A L 250V) reachable from exterior and situated in the plug protects the instrument. For fuses replacing, always the type and the range.
Before changing the fuse, disconnect the plug from the power supply socket.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

• The device must be checked before each use in order to detect malfunctions and / or damage caused by transport and / or storage.
• The working position must be such as to allow one to reach the control panel and to have a good view of the empty indicator, the jar and the antibacterial filter.
• It is recommended not to keep the device in your hands and / or to avoid prolonged contact with the body of apparatus.

WARNING: For proper use, place the aspirator on a flat, stable surface in order to have the full volume of use of the jar and better efficiency of the overflow device.

• Place the unit on a flat, horizontal surface
• Connect one end of the short silicon tube, with antibacterial filter, to the suction connector on the lid of the jar.
• The other tube already connected to the filter has to be connected to the “VACUUM” jar outlet, where has been fixed the red float (security float). When the 90% of the volume of the jar is reached there is the activation of the security float (the float close the aspiration connector on the jar) to avoid liquid penetration inside the device.

WARNING: Ensure that the filter is fitted with the Arrows at the patient side.

WARNING: The inside of the medical device must be regularly checked for the presence of liquids or other visible contamination (secretions). If liquids or other visible contamination are present, the medical device must be replaced immediately due to the risk
of insufficient vacuum flow.
These products have been designed, tested and manufactured exclusively for “single use” and for a period of use not exceeding 24 hours unless stated below.

• Connect the long silicone tube to the “PATIENT” jar outlet
• Connect the other end of the long silicon tube to the probe plastic connector, then connect the suction probe to it.
• Connect the power cord to the device then connect the plug to the electrical mains supply.
• Push switch on position I to start suction.
• Unscrew the lid of the jar and fill the jar 1/3 full or ordinary water (this assists the unit to reach peak vacuum performance and makes clean-up easier) then re-screw the lid on the jar correctly.
• During operation the jar has to be in vertical position to avoid overflow valve to cut off aspiration. Should this happen, switch off the device and disconnect the tube from the jar cover (from “VACUUM” outlet).
• Once finished push switch on O position and unplug.
