Chapter 6
Operating in Harsh
Environments
This chapter describes how to operate the ZOLL Model 330 Multifunction Aspirator in harsh
environments.
Using the Aspirator in Harsh Environments
The aspirator operates in harsh pre-hospital environments and during air and ground transport.
In order to safely manage the patient, you must understand the operating characteristics of the
aspirator and monitor the patient and device in these environments. The unit continuously
monitors environmental conditions (temperature and ambient pressure) and when it detects
extreme environments, the unit alerts you with a Low Priority alarm which defines the
operating condition and prompts your actions. Low Priority alarms are advisory and you should
remember that the device is operating as designed.
Airborne Particulates
Under normal operating conditions, the filtration system in the canister protects the gas flow
path from particulates entrained through vacuum intake. However, when operating in areas
where fine dust or dirt is airborne due to wind or vehicle movement, you can use a disposable
off-the-shelf in-line filter. You can also use a bacterial/viral filter can also be used on the gas
outlet if there is concern for airborne pathogens. Visually inspect any filters used for dust/dirt
build up for extended operation in harsh environments; you should change the filters as they
become dirty.
