The Aerosol Filter protects the LSU by
preventing aerosols from entering the Pump
Unit. It is not intended for microbiological or
for particle filtration. The Aerosol Filter is not
designed for decontamination.
It is recommended that the Aerosol Filter be
replaced after each use or at least once every
shift. If the LSU is used on patients in areas where
cross contamination is not an issue, the Aerosol
Filter should be replaced at least once a month.
It is recommended always to have extra Aerosol
Filters with the LSU in case one has to be
discarded. If the Aerosol Filter becomes wet, it
should be replaced immediately or as soon as
possible after use.
4.3 Use
Note: Read all the Cautions and Warnings listed
in section 1 thoroughly before you use the LSU.
The parts are color coded to help re-assembly
after cleaning.
4.3.1 Check list
• Check that no parts are missing and that all
parts are clean.
• 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 the battery is installed.
• Check that the Patient Suction Tubing is
securely connected to the PATIENT Inlet on
the Canister Lid; and the Aerosol filter is
securely fastened in the LSU and the lid.
4.3.2 Using the LSU
Note: The LSU must be operated and
transported in the upright position to prevent
overflow of suctioned material.
1 Unwind the Patient Suction Tubing
2 Set the Operating Knob to the required
vacuum level. 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.
3 When suction is complete, set the Operating
Knob to “0”
4.3.3 Emptying the Canister
Note: To prevent damage and keep the LSU in
good working order; empty the canister when
3/4 full. Check the filter after each use.
If the filter is broken so liquid penetrates the
membrane, the pump will be contaminated, and
the LSU must be returned for service (see
section 8).
When liquid reaches the top of the Canister, the
LSU will stop suctioning. To continue suctioning,
empty canister and replace the filter.
Overflow of suctioned material can damage the
device.
