5. Operating LSU with Disposable Canister
5.1 Getting Started
Note: Read all the Cautions and Warnings listed in
section 1 thoroughly before you use the LSU.
1. Check that no parts are missing and that
all parts are clean.
2. If you decide to operate the LSU from
external power, connect to either external AC
or DC power as described in section 3.4.
If you decide to operate the LSU from internal
battery, check that battery is installed.
3. Ensure that the T-bar is securely tightened and
the yellow connector from the Abbott liner
goes to the yellow T-bar on the canister.
(Yellow on Yellow).
4. Connect the blue Vacuum Tubing connector to
the blue Vacuum Inlet on the LSU.
(Blue on Blue).
Connect the yellow connector to the yellow
T-bar (Yellow on Yellow).
5. Ensure that the Patient Suction Tubing is
securely connected to the PATIENT Inlet on
the Canister Lid.
6 Release the Strap holding the Patient Suction
Tubing.
Note: The LSU should be operated in the
upright position to prevent overflow of
suctioned material.
7. Set the Operating Knob to the required
vacuum level, and the LSU will automatically
be switched ON and start to operate.
The green Power ON Indicator is lit
continuously while the LSU is switched ON.
8. When suctioning is complete, set the
Operating Knob to "0"
Note: To prevent overflow the LSU should be
transported in an upright position when the canister
contains suctioned material.
5.2 Replace the Disposable Canister
Note: It is recommended to replace the Canister
when it is 3/4 full.
When liquid reaches the top of the Canister, the
LSU will not suction any more liquid. If over
flow of liquid from the Canister into the pump
is suspected, the LSU must be returned for service
(see section 9).
Over flow of suctioned material can damage the
device.
To remove the Canister, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the Vacuum Connector Tubing at
the yellow T-bar on the canister Connector.
2. Release the Canister Holder, press down
the Release Arm while sliding the Holder
towards you.
3. Remove the Canister from the Holder.
4. Unwrap/release the Patient Suction Tubing
(if applicable).
