3. Operation
Hazard of persons due to improper handling
Please read through sections 3.1 and 3.2 carefully!
Only perform aspiration in the respiratory tract after instruction by specialized
personnel!
Only use suitable sterile disposable catheters for aspiration! Commercially
available sterile disposable catheters from CH10 to CH16 that are intended for
the use in the tracheal area can be connected.
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.
Malfunction due to aspirated secretion
Change the reusable secretion canister when it is half-full to curtail frothing. If
the reusable secretion canister is full, the mechanical overflow protection is
triggered. This disrupts the aspiration process.
Switch off the device when emptying the reusable secretion canister.
If secretion has been aspirated into the device, it must be properly processed
by ASSKEA GmbH or by a service partner authorized by ASSKEA GmbH!
Damage of the device due to insufficient acclimatization
After the device has been exposed to temperatures between -25°C and +70°C
during transport/storage according to the technical data (see section 7), it must
firstly acclimatize for ca. 2 h at room temperature (ca. 20°C) before the
intended use is possible.

Known or identifiable conditions for medical care within a domestic
environment
Children and pets should be kept away from the device to ensure that it cannot
be knocked over or dropped.
Prior to connecting the power supply unit, ensure that the voltage of the device
corresponds to the domestic power supply.
The device may not be used in damp rooms, bathrooms or showers. Avoid wet
conditions on power supply unit, control panel and socket for the power supply
unit. Never submerge the device in water or other liquids (also not while it is
switched off).
Check the power supply unit incl. mains cable for potential damages before each
use and replace it if there is any damage.
Use the socket for the 12V power supply unit (fig. 1(D)) to connect the device to the mains power
supply with the aid of the supplied power supply unit to charge or operate it as needed. Make
sure that the device is positioned in such a way that it is possible to easily disconnect it later.
