The TOBI HOSPITAL suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication.
It is necessary to check functioning and instrument before every use.
Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and feeding cable, they might have been damaged during previous use. Connect
cable to electrical network and turn switch on.
Close the aspiration outlet with your finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum position check that the vacuum indicators reaches -90
kPa (-0.90 bar) maximum. Rotate the knob from right to left and check the aspiration regulating control.
The vacuum indicator should go down -40 kPa (-0.40 bar).
Verify that loud noises are not present, these can indicate wrong functioning.
A protection fuse (F 1 x 4A L 250V) reachable from exterior and it situated in the plug protects the instrument. For use replacing, always check the
type and the range indicated.
