4.2 Assembling a Bag
If the accessory bag is not included in the scope of delivery of your device, you can order the accessory bag as an accessory. This bag is
used to protect aspiration catheters and other small parts.
1- Mount the accessory bag on the side of the motor unit using velcro straps.

Usage
5.1 First Operating
Recommendation:
When you use the reusable collecting container, it will
be very convenient for you to fill the container with approximately 50-
100 ml of disinfection liquid or water before starting the aspiration
application.
The vacuumed particles will not easily stick to the bottom of the container
thanks to this method
.
1.
Remove the aspiration tube from the hose wrap plate.
2. If necessary, adapt an aspirating catheter of the size suitable for
tracheal or nasopharyngeal aspiration to the end piece..
Important!
To effectively aspirate viscous and solid food particles from the oral cavity, remove the
piece attached to the ends of the aspiration tube and use only the aspiration tube
3.
Press the
O/I
button. After the device is opened, it starts in the lowest vacuum
level.
4.
Select the vacuum power by turning the switch button.
5.
LIFETIME SA-PB is ready for operation now and you can start the aspiration
procedure.
5.2 Aspiration
During the aspiration process, be careful not to cause any injury to the patient's mouth and pharynx, especially mucous membranes.
When the device is fully charged it can operate in the highest level of vacuuming for minutes continuously. By shutting the device
down after a 45 minute of continual operation, you can avoid the overheating of the device. Please wait for at least 2 hours for cooling the
device.
Important!
When operating with the multi-use collecting container, the device must always stand upright, because otherwise the ball of the overfill
assembly cannot safely close the connection to the suction pump. As a result, secretions can enter the suction pump and damage the
pump.
If operated with a container used once, in order for avoiding the obstruction of the overflow valve integrated into suction bag by the
saliva, the device should always be standing vertically. If the fluid is scattered onto the overflow valve, it becomes air resistant and the
disposable aspiration bag should be changed.
Information
! By monitoring the collecting container throughout the suction process,
Please check. Empty the collecting container at 950 ml level so that the overfill assembly does not get dirty and therefore does not need
to be cleaned.
If the overfill prevention device is activated before the filling limit is reached during aspiration application, you should take a short break
from the aspiration process and bleed the system.
Information
! Please also regularly check the charging status of the battery pack during aspiration application. As soon as the red warning
LED lights up in the capacity indicator, aspiration application should be continued by using a backup device. If the battery pack continues to
discharge, the battery pack may be damaged by excessive discharge and a significant reduction in capacity may occur.
Discharging air from the system
1.
The connection between the device and the collector is removed from the collector side.
2.
Wait until the float of the overfill prevention device falls back.
3.
The connection between the device and the container is reconnected. You can continue the aspiration procedure.
Emptying the reusable collection container
When the reusable collection container is filled to the fullness limit, you should stop the aspiration process and empty the collection
container.
Important!
When removing and emptying the collection container, please be careful not to accidentally come out of the collection
container and not to spill the contents.
1.
Loosen the aspiration tube from the hose wrap plate in order to remove the container more easily and prevent the secretion cap from
accidentally detaching.
2.
Separate the container from the motor unit.
3.
Carefully pull out the secretion cap.
4.
Empty the container.
Important!
For disposal please observe the relevant instructions.
5.
Insert the secretion cap on the container again.
6.
Hang the collector back onto the motor unit. Please make sure that the colelctor is pressed onto the motor unit and snaps into the
locking slot.
