SUPERGA EVO
is a desk-type electric suction unit for the aspiration of body liquids (such as mucus, phlegm, and blood), oral, nasal, and tracheal aspiration in adults or children. Its shape, elegantly narrow, is mostly designed for fitting into ambulance care and emergency use.

This device has been designed to offer ease of transport and continuous use, thanks to an electronic system that manages the power supply. The large LCD display facilitates the use of the device and increases suction by adjusting the control buttons. The signal on the LCD screen, placed on the front panel, allows you to monitor the charge status of the Lithium battery. The lithium battery and the innovative Feedback system, which guarantees smart use by automatically controlling and adjusting the suction power, allow the battery to increase its autonomy and decrease the noise produced.

The “PROXIMITY” function allows the device to be activated/deactivated via an infra-red proximity sensor (detecting the presence of the hand from a distance of tenths of centimeters without touching the suction unit) and it prevents and avoids possible cross-contamination between patients as they are treated in turns. Made of highly heat-resistant, electrically insulated plastic material in conformity with the latest European safety standard, the product is supplied with a complete polycarbonate autoclavable jar with an overflow valve.

  • 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 dean every single part in hot water (temperature not exceeding 60°C)

  • Once again, carefully wash every single part using, if necessary, a non-abrasive brush to remove any de­ 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 sure that covers seals perfectly to avoid vacuum leack­ages or liquid exit

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 environmental 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).

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.

Filter assembling

Make sure the filter is assembled with the arrows on the side of the patient.

WARNING: The inside of the medical device must be regularly checked for the presence of liquids or other visible contamination (secretions). In the presence of liquids or other visible contamination, immediately re­place the medical device due to the risk of an insufficient vacuum flow rate.

These products have been designed, tested, and manufactured exclusively for single patient use and for a period no longer than 24 hours.

Operation using with AC/DC switching adapter

Connect the short silicon tube, with an antibacterial filter, to the suction connector (VACUUM). The other tube, with one end connected to the antibacterial filter with the other end to jar’s lid connector where has been fixed the red float. When 90% of the volume of the jar is reached there is the activation of the security float (the float closes the aspiration connector on the jar) to avoid liquid penetration inside the device.

  • Connect the long silicon tube to the other jar’s lid connector (PATIENT PORT).
  • To start the treatment press the ON/OFF button and check its green back-light. When the device is switched on the LCD screen activates displaying a bar-graph, graduated scale, and negative pressure value, which must be set by the operator.

The negative pressure is set with keys – and +, which are found below the LCD screen: Press one of the two keys with the motor on. The level of the negative pressure will flash at the center of the display. Release the key and, after 3 seconds, the value will be operating (fixed digit on the display) and saved. The desired value remains fixed until the operator varies the negative pressure, whilst the bar-graph moves along with the semi-circumference stopping in correspondence (graph) of the value set.

The maximum negative pressure value that can be set is: -75kPa (-0.75 bar) The minimum negative pressure value that can be set is: -15kPa (-0.15 bar)

  • To suspend and/or terminate the treatment press the ON / OFF button and pull the plug out from the power socket.
  • Unscrew the jar’s lid and fill the jar 1/3 full of ordinary water (this for easy cleaning operations and a rapid reaching of the functional vacuum) then re-screw the lid on the jar correctly.
  • To extract the accessories and start with cleaning.
  • At the end of each use place the device back in the box, protected against dust.

WARNING: The power cord plug is the element of separation from the electrical mains, even if the device is equipped with an on/off button. Once the device is in use, the power plug must remain accessible to allow another method of disconnection from the electrical mains.

The device features an energy-saving function that allows the device to increase its autonomy and de­crease the number of revs of the motor. In order to do so, it controls the negative pressure which is generated only when the operator suctions body fluids.

If the operator does not carry out the suction process the device lowers the number of revs of the motor, thus protecting the duration of the internal battery.

Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz the interval with the highest frequency is applied

Note 2: These guidelines may not be applicable in all situations. The electromagnetic propagation is influenced by absorption and by reflection from buildings, objects, and people.

a)  The field intensity for fixed transmitters such as the base stations for radiotelephones (mobile and cordless) and terres­trial mobile radio, amateur radio devices, radio AM and FM transmitters, and TV transmitters can not be theoretically and accurately foreseen. To establish an electro-magnetic environment generated by fixed RF transmitters, an electro-magnet­ic study of the site should be considered. If the field intensity measured in the place where the device will be used surpass­es the above-mentioned applicable level of conformity, the normal functioning of the device should be monitored. If abnor­mal performance arises, additional measures such as changing the device’s direction or positioning may be necessary.

b)  The field intensity on an interval frequency of 150 kHz to 80 MHz should be less than 3 V/m.

The recommended separation distance between portable and mobile radio- communication devices and the monitor

The SUPERVEGA EVO SUCTION UNIT surgical aspirator is intended to operate in an electro-magnetic environment where RF irradiated interferences are under control. The client or operator of the SUPERVEGA EVO SUCTION UNIT device can help prevent electromagnetic interference by keeping a minimum distance between the portable and mobile RF communication devices (transmitters) and the SUPERVEGA EVO SUCTION UNIT device, as recommended below, in relation to the radio-communication maximum output power.
The maximum nominal output power of the Transmitter W| The separation distance from the frequency transmitter (m)
150KHz to 80MHz

| 80MHz to 800MHz

| 800MHz to 2,7GHz

0,01| 0,12| 0,12| 0,23
0,1| 0,38| 0,38| 0,73
1| 1,2| 1,2| 2,3
10| 3,8| 3,8| 7,3
100| 12| 12| 23
For transmitters with a maximum nominal output power not shown above, the recommended separation distance in meters (m) can be calculated using the equation applicable to the transmitter frequency, where P is the maximum nominal output power of the transmitter in Watt (W) depending on the transmitter’s manufacturer.
