Periodical Maintenance Checks - Ca-Mi NEW ASKIR 30 Mode D'emploi

The filter is produced with (PTFE) hydrophobic material to prevent fluids entering the pneumatic circuit.
It should be changed immediately if it becomes wet or if there is any sign of contamination or discolouration.
If should also be changed if the unit is used with a patient whose risk of contamination is unknown.
Don't use the suction unit without the protection filter. If the suction unit is used in an emergency or in a patient where the risk of
contamination is not know the filter must be changed after each use. Available under request with different versions with complete jar 2000cc.
Suction catheter: Single-use device to be used on a single patient. Do not wash or re-sterilize after use.
Reuse may cause cross-infections. Don't use after lapse of the sell-by date
WARNING: Suction tubes for insertion in the human body purchased separately from the machine should comply with ISO 10993-1
standards on material biocompatibility.
The NEW ASKIR 30 suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication.
It is, however, necessary to inspect the unit before each use. Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and feeding
cable, they might have been damaged during previous use. Connect the cable to electrical network and turn the switch on.
Close the aspirator outlet with your finger and with suction regulator at maximum check that the vacuum indicators reaches at least -80kPa
(-0.80 bar). Rotate the knob from right to leff. The vacuum indicator should go down -40kPa (-0.40 bar).
Check that no loud noises are present. A protection fuses (F 1 x 1.6 A 250V) reachable from exterior and situated in the plug protects the
instrument. For fuses replacing, always the type and the range.
Type of fault
1. The suction unit doesn't work
2. No aspiration
3. No aspiration
4. The Vacuum power on the patient
side is either very low or absent
5. The float doesn't close
6. The float doesn't close
7. Low suction
Faults 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7
If the overfill security system fails, continued aspiration will be stopped by the antibacterial filter.
Should this back-up security system also fail, there is a risk of penetration of liquid into the device. Don'0t attempt to proceed with aspiration under these
circumstances.
Return the device to CA-MI for service.
BEFORE EVERY CHECKING OPERATION, IN CASE OF ANOMALIES OR BAD FUNCTIONING, PLEASE CONTACT CA-MI
