  1. Push the upper port connection into the Vacuum Inlet and check that the lower part of the Canister clicks in place.
  2. Connect the Patient Port to Patient Tube
  3. Connect the Patient Port onto the Canister. Ensure that all connections are secure to prevent leakage.

Notes

  • The 300 ml Canister is sealed, with an internal Filter. The Canister is disposable and cannot be cleaned. The filter automatically stops suction/flow when the canister is full, or the filter becomes saturated if the unit tips onto its side during use.
  • The 300 ml Canister (Cat. No. 886100) can also be used with the previous model LCSU 3. However, the LCSU 4 cannot be used with LCSU 3 Canisters.
  • To improve the upright stability, a Wire Stand (Cat. No 886115) is offered as an Optional Accessory. This adds both a handle and a foot to the unit.

User Instructions

Check Before Each Use

  1. The suction unit should not be damaged.
  2. The suction unit should be clean.
  3. All parts should be properly assembled (Canister, Tubes etc.).
  4. Check that a suction catheter is attached to the patient’s suction tube or suction adapter. Do not use the suction tube or suction adapter without a suction catheter attached.
  5. Perform Device Test after each reassembly (see Chapter 6).
  6. Check Battery level: While performing the Device Test the Battery level should not illuminate RED. If the Battery level illuminates RED, the battery should be charged. See Charging Instructions (Chapter 5).

Note
Always have an extra Canister available in case the first Canister is filled completely, or the suction unit tips onto its side and the Filter becomes saturated and stops the suction/flow.

Warning
If the Canister fills and the shut-off mechanism activates, and you have no spare Canister ready for immediate replacement, shut off LCSU 4 and utilize alternative methods according to the local protocol to clear the patient’s airway. Continued efforts to suction with a full canister may cause overflow that will prevent suctioning, damage the pump, void the unit warranty, and lead to prolonged downtime.
