Hazard of persons due to improper handling
Only use the device for its intended purpose.
Never use the device for aspiration in the low vacuum range (e.g. thoracic drainage).
If aspiration procedures are carried out too often, slight bleeding may occur.
When using the device for the treatment of children, the vacuum setting `Low´ must be
used.
When using the power supply unit, ensure that it is connected to the aspirator firstly and
afterwards to the mains supply (100V to 240V AC).
The disconnection of the power supply unit from the mains supply must be performed in
exactly the opposite sequence (first remove the power supply unit from the mains supply
(100V to 240V AC) and then remove it from the aspirator).
Never touch parts of other devices than ME devices in the patient environment and the
patient simultaneously.
Safety defects due to improper accessories and spare parts
The use of accessories and spare parts, detachable parts or materials that are not
recommended by ASSKEA GmbH and specified in the instruction for use may compromise the
safety and function of the device. Any warranty is excluded for damage caused by using
accessories and spare parts not recommended or by improper use.
Only use original accessories and spare parts.
Warning of safety defects due to improper connections of the ME system
The connection of the ME system with other devices or installations resp. pieces of equipment
not recommended by ASSKEA GmbH and not specified in the instruction for use may
compromise the safety and function of the ME system. Any warranty is excluded for damage
caused by connecting devices or installations resp. pieces of equipment not recommended with
the
ASSKEA secretion aspirator proVisio
®
M28
or by improper use.
Only connect recommended original parts with the
ASSKEA secretion aspirator
proVisio
®
M28
.
Damage of the device by heat
Do not cover the power supply unit.
Keep the aspirator as well as the mains cable and the power supply unit away from other
heat sources.
Do not place the aspirator directly adjacent to other devices, since this can result in heavy
warming of the aspirator.
Damage of the device due to improper handling
Never aspirate flammable, corrosive or explosive liquids or gases.
Do not drop the device.
Prior to each use check the housing for any damage and do not operate the device in case of
apparent housing damage.
Prior to each use check the suction tube, secretion canister and bacterial filter and if
applicable any other accessories, that are subject to wear and damage, to ensure that the
components are in a perfect condition and proper operation of the device is guaranteed. If
this is not the case, replace the parts immediately.
Inspection of the internal power supply
Since the internal battery is not maintained automatically in a fully operational state, it is
necessary to check the charging status regularly and if necessary, the battery must be replaced
by service staff. The battery may only be replaced by trained service staff, since the replacement
by inadequately trained personnel could result in a hazard (such as excessive temperatures, fire
or explosion)!
