• Disconnect all tubes from the jar and the protection filter
• Wash each part of the container from secretions under cold running water and then clean every
single part in hot water (temperature not exceeding 60°C)
• Once again, carefully wash each single part using, if necessary, a non-abrasive brush to remove
any deposits. Rinse with hot running water and dry all parts with a soft cloth (non-abrasive). It is
possible to wash with commercial disinfectants by carefully following the instructions and dilution
values supplied by the manufacturer. After cleaning, leave the parts to dry in an open, clean envi-
ronment.
• Dispose of the aspiration catheter according to that provided by local laws and regulations.
The silicone aspiration tubes and the conical fitting may be carefully washed in hot water (temperature
must not exceed 60°C). After cleaning, leave the parts to dry in an open, clean environment.
When cleaning is complete, reassemble the container for liquid aspirations according to the following
procedure:
• Place the overflow valve into its seat in the cover (under VACUUM connector)
• Insert floating valve keeping the o-ring towards the opening of the cage
• Place the o-ring into its seat around the cover
• After completing assembling operations always make sue that cover seals perfectly to avoid vacu-
um leackages or liquid exit
After disposing of disposable parts and disassembling the jar wash in running cold water and rinse
thouroughly. Then soak in warm water (temperature shall not exceed 60°C). Wash thouroughly and if
necessary use a non-abrasive brush to remove incrustations. Rinse in running warm water and dry all
parts with a soft cloth (non-abrasive). The jar and the cover can be autoclaved by placing the parts into
the autoclave and running one sterilization stem cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min) ma-
king sure that the jar is positioned upsidedown. Mechanical resistance of the jar is guaranteed up to 30
cycles of sterilization and cleaning at the indicated conditions (EN ISO 10079-1). Beyond this limit the
physical-mechanical characteristics of the plastic may decrease and replacement of the part is therefore
recommended. After sterilization and cooling at environment temperature of the parts make sure that
these are not damaged. The aspiration tubes can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle
at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min). The conical connector can be sterilized on autoclave using
a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).
DO NOT WASH, STERILIZE OR PUT IN AUTOCLAVE THE ANTIBACTERIAL FILTER
Instruction for disposal Liner Flovac®:
If the device is equipped with disposable collection systems FLOVAC ® carry out the disposal of the bag
as follows: turn off the Vacuum and remove all the tubes connected to the Liner, giving particular atten-
tion to avoid accidental contamination. Fit the appropriate plugs to the “PATIENT” and “TANDEM” ports,
pressing the home firmly, taking care to avoid accidental contamination. Turn the butterfly connector to
OFF. Remove the liner bag from the rigid container and transfer it to the waste disposal area, ensuring
that all the openings are sealed, keeping in mind the product is potentially infectious. This product must
be disposed of in accordance with the current hospital regulations.
PERIODICAL MAINETANCE CHECKS
The TOBI HOSPITAL suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication. It is, however, ne-
cessary to inspect the unit before each use. With regard to training, given the information contained in
the user manual and since it is easy to understand the said device, it doesn’t appear to be necessary.
The device must be checked before each use in order to detect malfunctions and / or damage caused
by transport and / or storage.
Always check the integrity of the footswitch power cord. Connect cable to electrical network and turn
switch on. Close the aspiration outlet with your finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum
position check that the vacuum indicators reaches -90 kPa (-0.90 bar) maximum. Rotate the knob from
right to left and check the aspiration regulating control. The vacuum indicator should go down -40 kPa
(-0.40 bar). Verify that loud noises are not present, these can indicate wrong functioning. A protection

fuses replacing, always the type and the range. Before changing the fuse, disconnect the plug from the
power supply socket. Internally, the device (only for devices fitted with a circuit board) is protected by a
