Integra VACUBOY Mode D'emploi

Operation
The vacuum is controlled by the pressure sensitive turquoise control button on the top of the hand piece.
By means of the plastic screw opposite the control button, the residual suction level can be set, which will prevent dripping of waste
liquids from the tip or pipette. The aspirator is factory pre-set to allow a low level of constant suction; by turning the screw one full turn
clockwise, the valve is shut and residual vacuum is stopped.
Cleaning and servicing
The Hand Operator is entirely autoclavable. When working with biohazardous material,
disinfect the VACUBOY with a 70 % solution of isopropanol or ethanol or a suitable
disinfectant before disassembling for autoclaving. Please refer to the explosion drawing.
To clean, immerse the pieces in mild laboratory detergent or 70 % ethanol, but do not
use abrasives, as a roughened surface may affect the smooth operation of the control
valve. Apply a thin coat of MOLYKOTE HP-870 (Dow Corning) lubricant as needed to
the control valve to keep the action smooth (arrow).
When working with salt-rich solutions, rinse out the aspirator hand piece with distilled
water after use to avoid build-up of dried deposits.
Chemical compatibility
Avoid prolonged contact (days or weeks) with:
• concentrated inorganic acids
• sodium hypochlorite
• methylene chloride
• concentrated aldehydes
• other halogenated hydrocarbons
