Clearing The Airway Is Our #1 Priority
Maintenance
Preventive Care
Observe the following maintenance routine to ensure readiness at any time:
1. Do not store batteries in the SSCOR DCell Suction device if it is not expected to be used for several
months.
2. Test the SSCOR aspirator at regular intervals; See page 6.
3. Make sure the SSCOR aspirator is always clean and ready for use.
4. The canister contains a float valve to prevent fluids from reaching the vacuum pump, however, if the
procedure produced an excessive quantity of fluids, check the vacuum line (#) for evidence of moisture. If
the vacuum line between the device and canister is moist, it is possible that fluids have reached the vac-
uum pumps. See Disinfection Instructions below.
5. For technical assistance, call (800) 434-5211 or interna1 818-504-4054.
Note:
No part requires lubrication and lubricants should not be used.
Sanitation
As soon as possible after use, the single use disposable canister, patient tubing and catheter should be
discarded according to local / regional / national requirements for the disposal of hazardous waste mate-
rials. Clean using a mild detergent and if necessary disinfect with a mild disinfectant such as 10 to 1
bleach and rinse using clear water to remove any residue.
Do not reuse any single use disposable parts; do not submerge the device into any liquid, this will void
the warranty and cause the device to malfunction.
Disinfection
Use personal protective equipment such as gloves, a smock, and face and eye protection when handling
units that are suspected to be contaminated.
Caution: Disconnect the unit from any power source prior to cleaning the unit. When cleaning the
interior of the chassis, disconnect the battery from the PC Board to prevent damaging the PC Board.
