Use personal protective equipment such as gloves, a smock, and face and eye protection when handling
units that are suspected to be contaminated.
Part
Cleaning and Disinfecting
Collection Canister Disposable item, re-use not permitted. Use new canister for each patient.
Patient Tubing
Disposable item, re-use not permitted. Use new patient tubing for each
patient.
HI-D® Stick
Disposable item, re-use not permitted. Use new HI-D Stick for each pa-
tient.
Vacuum Pump
Wipe with damp cloth or disinfectant wipe. Sterilization not permitted.
Vacuum pump should be replaced if contaminated
Chassis
Wipe with damp cloth or disinfectant wipe. Sterilization not permitted.
Caution: Disconnect the unit from any power source prior to cleaning the unit.
Disinfect the unit using a mild surface disinfectant, such as a 10:1 mixture of water and bleach. The unit is
designed to suction contaminated fluids, which should be removed from the system immediately after use.
In the unlikely event that fluids may have reached the vacuum pump, your engineering department will
have to open the unit to check the condition of the pump. When cleaning the interior of the chassis,
disconnect the battery from the wiring harness. The only foreseeable way fluids may reach the vacuum
pump is the filter in the canister has been compromised or bypassed.

SSCOR EVX - Model 2309

Clearing The Airway Is Our #1 Priority
Maintenance
Disinfection
As soon as possible after use, the single use disposable canister, patient tubing and catheter should be
discarded according to local / regional / national requirements for the disposal of hazardous waste
materials. Clean the exterior of the SSCOR suction unit using a mild detergent and clear water by
dampening a clean lint free cloth. Rinse using clear water and another damp clean lint free cloth to remove
any detergent residue.
NOTE: The hydrophobic filter in the canister helps to ensure that no moisture or
particulate matter reaches the inside of the device. When fluids fill the canister,
the positive (mechanical float) shutoff valve closes immediately, shutting the
vacuum port off so as to prevent fluid from contacting the pump. The filter has
been tested by the manufacturer (Bemis) to screen out aerosolized
microorganisms and particulate matter at a bacterial efficiency rating of 99.99%
DOP. The canister also has sidewall gradation marks starting at 100 ml/cc and
at every 50 ml/cc up to 1200 ml/cc indicating the fill level of the canister.
In the unlikely event that fluids may have reached the vacuum pump, read the disinfection section. Your en-
gineering department will have to open the unit to check the condition of the pump.
Do not reuse any single use disposable parts; do not submerge the device into any liquid, this will void the
warranty and cause the device to malfunction.
