Read these instructions carefully before using the device. Careful and correct use will ensure smooth
operation and protect both patients and operators.

The suction unit is designed exclusively to remove organic fluids (secretions) during medical procedures. For
this reason, it should only be used by trained personnel.
•
Never use the suction unit in the presence of flammable and/or explosive liquids, gases and anaesthetic
mixtures as this may lead to explosions and/or fires.
•
If aspiration is performed without the suction jar and/or without the antibacterial filter, or if it is suspected
that substances may have entered in the aspiration circuit (i.e. the OB500), contact the nearest service
centre or the manufacturer immediately to have the device checked.

Do not spray substances onto the device. Before cleaning, make sure that the suction hole to the device is
closed (apply a piece of tape or connect the tube of the suction jar).

To ensure patient safety, the accuracy of the displayed values and correct functionality, use only original
spare parts. The operator assumes responsibility for any injury to the patient or damage to property if this
