Solidifier
Disposable liners ‘OneWay‘ filled with aspi-
rate can be transported and disposed of in
a leak-proof manner by using the solidifier.
The aspirate solidifies after an average gel-
ling time of 2 - 5 minutes (depending on the
consistency of the secretion), regardless of
the aspiration intervals.
The disposable liner ‘OneWay‘ and
the suction tube are intended for sin-
gle use. Replace the disposable liner
‘OneWay‘ and suction tube in accord-
ance with the respectively applicable
hygiene instructions, but no less than
once per week, prior to each new pa-
tient or if it is full.
Reusable secretion canister system:
The reusable secretion canister system con-
sists of the reusable secretion canister, the
lid of the secretion canister with integrated
overflow protection, the suction tube and a
connecting tube with external bacterial filter.
The bacterial filter prevents an overflow in
the event of operational error. If liquid reach-
es this filter, aspiration is no longer possible
and the aspiration process is discontinued.
The external bacterial filter must be replaced.
2.3.5 Information on the battery of the
ASSKEA secretion aspirator M20
Inspection of the internal power sup-
ply
• Since the internal battery is not
automatically kept at a fully opera-
tional condition, the state of charge
must be checked periodically and, if
necessary, the battery must be re-
placed by service staff.
• The battery may be replaced only by
ASSKEA GmbH or by a service part-
ner authorized by ASSKEA GmbH,
since replacement by inadequate-
ly trained persons could result in a
hazard (such as excessive tempera-
tures, fire or explosion)!
The state of charge of the battery is indicat-
ed by the corresponding LED status indicator
(see section 1.2.2).
It is strongly recommended to fully charge
the battery prior to the first start-up of the
ASSKEA secretion aspirator M20 and to re-
peat this after the first uses. The typical ser-
vice life of the battery is approx. 500 load cy-
cles; approx. 70 % of the primary capacity is
still available thereafter.
The ASSKEA secretion aspirator M20 is
equipped with a lithium ion battery, which
unlike traditional types of rechargeable bat-
teries has a low self-discharge rate. In addi-
tion lithium ion batteries do not have a mem-
ory effect. Therefore they can and should be
recharged at any time after initial charging.
Only frequent short-time charging should be
avoided.
The ASSKEA secretion aspirator M20 should
ideally be stored and charged at room tem-
perature in accordance with the ambient con-
ditions specified in the technical data. Never
store the devices and battery in a discharged
state!
Fully recharge the battery, if the devices are
not operated for a prolonged period of time
(approx. 10 months).
The battery of the ASSKEA secretion aspira-
tor M20 is protected against depth discharge
by means of protective measures; neverthe-
less the charging information listed above
