1. Description

1.1 Purpose

ACCUVAC Basic is a mobile and portable electrically

powered aspirator (suction pump).

It is used for:

•aspirating accumulations of blood, secretions and

food from the oral cavity, the nose and throat

region and the bronchial system;

• deflating vacuum matresses and inflatable splints.

ACCUVAC Basic:

• can when used by a skilled operator eliminate

obstruction of the respiratory tract and hence the

risk of respiratory failure;

• cuts energy consumption by reducing power

output on reaching the necessary vacuum;

• can optionally be powered by a rechargeable

internal power pack;

• or by an external DC source supplying 12.0 -

13.8 V;

• is also suitable for use in wards.

ACCUVAC Basic must not be used:

• in medical rooms where potential equalization is

necessary (e.g. heart surgery);

• in explosion-risk areas.

Description 3

1.2 Function

An electrically operated diaphragm pump generates

the vacuum necessary for aspiration.

Use the vacuum control 2to set the desired vacuum,

which is continuously variable between –0.05 bar

and –0.8 bar. You can read off the set value on the

pressure gage 1.

The aspirated material passes via the aspiration tube

19 into the disposable collection canister 7.

Disposable collection canister

The disposable collection canister 7consists of the col-

lection canister 24 itself, the disposable collection bag

21, the aspiration tube with fingertip 19, the interme-

diate tube 20, the T-piece 23 and the vacuum tube 22.

The disposable collection canister 7is inserted in the

holder 25 screwed on the side of the motor unit 8.

The vacuum tube 22 of the disposable canister 24 is

pushed onto the suction port 14 of the motor unit 8.

The aspirated material passes through the aspiration

tube 19 into the disposable collection bag 21. The dis-

posable collection bag is intended for once-only use.

When it is full, you can remove it from the collection

canister 24 and dispose of it complete with contents.

An overflow valve filter is integrated in the disposable

collection bag 21. This prevents secretions and liquid

from finding their way into the motor unit 8and passing

into the environment via the muffler 13.

Power supply

Power for operating the appliance and charging the

power pack can be drawn:

• from the built-in power pack 17.

• from a 12-volt electrical cable system, using the

connecting cable WM 10650 which is available

as an accessory.

• from the mains and charger unit WM 2645

which is available as an accessory.

Important The AC adapter/charger plug 11 supplied with the

appliance is only designed for charging the power

pack with the appliance switched off. It must not be

used to operate the appliance itself, as this will over-

load it and cause it to overheat.

The voltage indicator 3shows the charge status of the

power pack.

Charging of the power pack starts automatically as

soon as the appliance is switched off and connected

to an external power supply (see “10. Technical Data”

on page 37).

6Safety

•To avoid infection or contamination with bacteria

please read section “5. Hygienic preparation” on

page 19.

• ACCUVAC Basic may only be used by trained

staff instructed in aspiration techniques. Incorrect

use can cause serious bodily harm.

•ACCUVAC Basic must be used for the designated

purpose only (see “1.1 Purpose” on page 2).

• Maintenance operations such as inspection and

repair work must be performed by expert person-

nel or by the manufacturer Weinmann.

• Malfunctions and a lack of biocompatibility may

result if third-party articles are used. Please bear in

mind that in these cases any warranty entitlement

and liability shall lapse where the accessories rec-

ommended in the instructions for use or original

spare parts are not utilised.

•During the aspiration process, take particular care

not to cause injuries to the patient’s mouth or

throat, e.g. to mucous membrane.

The suction can be interrupted by briefly opening

the fingertip, for example if the nozzle becomes

firmly attached to the skin.

• Ensure sterile conditions during bronchial aspira-

tion, and always use sterile catheters.

Important! • The disposal of liquids such as blood and secre-

tions and any items contaminated with such liquids

should be carried out according to the national

guidelines for hygiene.

• The ACCUVAC Basic should only be operated in

the upright position, in order to prevent liquid from

wetting the overflow valve filter integrated in the

disposable collection bag 21. If this happens, the

overflow valve filter becomes impermeable to air

and the disposable collection bag 21 has to be

changed.
