⚠ CAUTION: FEDERAL LAW RESTRICTS THIS DEVICE TO SALE BY OR ON THE ORDER OF A PHYSICIAN.

⚠ CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE MOTOR HOUSING. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded.

⚠ DANGER – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire. If the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician or serviceman.

The S130 is for use on a nominal 115 V/60 Hz (S230-230 V/50 Hz), (S230A- 230 V/60 Hz) circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A, in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketch B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a qualified electrician can install a properly grounded outlet, Sketch A. The green colored rigid ear, tab, etc.
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground. such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a screw.

ELECTRICAL:

The motor of this compressor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor should overheat, the overload protector will shut off the motor. If this should occur shut the compressor off and allow the motor to cool (approximately 5 minutes). If the compressor fails to start, check for circuit breakers activated or blown fuses, the compressor may need to cool further before attempting to restart. If the overload protector shuts off the motor frequently, you may have a low voltage solution. Low voltage can also be suspected when:

1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Fuses or circuit breakers activate when starting the compressor.
3. Lights dim or remain dim when the compressor is started.
4. Other motor operated appliances fail to operate properly. Too many motor operated appliances on the same circuit.

EXTENSION CORDS:

Make certain your extension cord is in good condition. Make certain your extension cord wire size is not less than 18 gauge for 25 feet, 16 gauge for 50 feet and 14 gauge for 100 feet.

SET-UP:

1. In order to become familiar with this unit, note where the following features are: ON/OFF switch, vacuum gauge, control knob and hydrophobic bacterial filter.
2. The mechanical shut-off valve under the lid will stop suction if collected fluids reach the shut-off valve level. If this happens, tum the unit off and empty the bottle or replace disposable canister.
3. This product has been provided with a hydrophobic filter, which will protect the pump from contaminants. WHEN THIS FILTER COMES IN CONTACT WITH LIQUID, THE SUCTION FLOW WILL STOP (MOTOR WILL STILL RUN). IF THIS HAPPENS, THE FILTER MUST BE REPLACED. It is suggested that the filter be replaced after each patient use or on a monthly basis if the same patient uses the unit or when a reduction in airflow is detected. To replace the filter, remove the hose from the hose barb on the back of the filter. Unscrew the filter from the control valve and discard. Carefully screw the fresh filter into the control valve and reconnect the hose to the hose barb. Do not over tighten filter because this may cause damage to the pump. Replacement filters (Part Number 01-90-3100 or 01-90-3100-KIT) should be kept on hand.

OPERATION:

⚠ WARNING: PROPER USE OF THIS PRODUCT IS NECESSARY TO AVOID PHYSICAL HARM. IMPROPER USE CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR TISSUE DAMAGE. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED UNLESS A PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEAL TH CARE PROFESSIONAL HAS INSTRUCTED THE OPERA TOR.

1. The ON/OFF switch should be in the OFF position.
2. Plug the line cord into a grounded electrical outlet, making sure that it is the same voltage as indicated on the unit nameplate.
3. Be sure the length of the tubing from the Disposable Canister Unit (DCU)/glass bottle to the filter is dry.
4. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
5. The control knob will adjust the vacuum. As the knob is turned counter clockwise, the vacuum will decrease. As the knob is turned clockwise, the vacuum will increase. Inches of vacuum will register on the gauge. Use only the vacuum setting directed by the Physician or Qualified Health Care professional. Check degree of vacuum by pinching off patient tube.
6. The level of vacuum in mmflnches of Hg will register on the vacuum on the gauge.
7. The pump is now ready for patient use.
8. The DCU is a throw away item and after complete use or full, turn off the unit, disconnect the tubing, seal the open ports, and dispose of the DCU properly.
9. The glass bottle should be emptied after complete use or when full. To empty the bottle, turn the unit off, disconnect the tubing, and remove the cap and float assembly.
10. Follow the cleaning procedures listed below. Once these procedures have been completed, see Step 1 under Set-Up before next patient use.

CLEANING PROCEDURE TO BE USED AFTER EVERY USE:

1. 750-cc Glass Bottle and Lid:
   It is recommended that the bottle, lid assembly and tubing be cleaned after every use. To ensure the longest life for these parts the following procedures must be followed:
   Clean the 750-cc autoclavable bottle, lid assembly, gasket, seal washer, float guide and float thoroughly with a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry thoroughly.
   Place parts in autoclave as follows ensuring the parts are not touching:
   • Bottle with open end down
   • Float and float guide upright with large ends down
   • Gasket and seal washer can be placed in a gusset pouch prior to autoclaving Autoclave for 3 to 5 minute cycle at 270° F (132° C).
   In lieu of autoclave sterilization, the above parts can be soaked in an activated dialdehyde solution.

2. Vacuum Pump:

⚠ WARNING: DO NOT SUBMERGE VACUUM PUMP IN WATERIII

Make sure the unit is unplugged; wipe the exterior surface with a mild disinfectant or a solution of 70% isopropyl Alcohol solution. Wipe all surfaces with a soft cloth or disposable wipe moistened in the cleaning solution.

TUBING REPLACEMENT:

THE TUBING SHOULD BE CHANGED AFTER EACH PATIENT USE OR ON A MONTHLY BASIS IF THE SAME PATIENT USES UNIT.

BACTERIA FILTER REPLACEMENT:

The high efficiency bacteria filter (01-90-3100) is custom engineered to prevent fluid and aerosol contamination fluid and aerosol contamination of mobile suction units. This filter features a hydrophobic, micro-porous membrane, which filters air with maximum efficiency (0.3-micron particles in air), while blocking the flow of aqueous fluids and aerosol contaminants. This high efficiency filter protects against suction pump contamination. in the case of canister/bottle overflow from reaching the pump.

⚠ THE HYDROPHOBIC BACTERIA FILTER SHOULD BE CHANGED AFTER EACH PATIENT USE OR ON A MONTHLY BASIS IF THE SAME PATIENT USES UNIT.

⚠  CAREMUST BE TAKEN WHEN REPLACING THE FILTER TO PREVENT THREAD DAMAGE DUE TO CROSSDING AND OVER TIGHTENING.

To replace the bacteria filter:

1. Unscrew the filter from the filter connection fitting by hand turning the filter in a counter clockwise direction.
2. Carefully screw the new filter into the fitting by turn the filter in a clockwise direction.
3. Tighten only finger tight.
