Instructions for use
The suction hose should never come into direct contact with secretion to be extracted (use a suction tube).
The collection bottle must be emptied as soon as it is half-filled.
The antibacterial filter is for single use. It must be replaced at least once a month, and every time it has been in contact with the liquid.
Precautions for Use
Contact your biomedical officer in order to see the need to protect the apparatus with a double conversion UPS (see related articles below).
Maintenance
The collection bottle must be pre-disinfected, cleaned and sterilised by steam autoclave at the end of every operating day.
