ACCESSORIES SUPPLIES
- Complete aspiration jar 4000ml
- Conical fitting
- Transparent tubes set 6 mm x 10mm
- Hydrophobic and antibacterial filter
The filter is made of hydrophobic material and blocks the passage of liquids that come into contact with it.Replace it whenever you suspect that it may be contaminated and/or it becomes wet or discolored.Replace the filter every time it is used if the suction pump is used on patients in unknown pathological situations and where an assessment of indirect contamination is notpossible.If, however, the patient’s pathology is known and/or there is no risk of indirect contamination, the filter should be replaced after every work shift or once a month even if thethe device is not used.WARNING: Suction tubes for insertion in the human body purchased separately from the machine should comply with ISO 10993-1 standard on material biocompatibility.WARNING: The medical device is provided without a specific suction probe. If this device must be used with a specific suction probe, the end-user is responsible for making sure it complies with the EN 10079-2 regulation.
CLEANING OF ACCESSORIES
To clean the plastic housing of the device wear disposable latex gloves and clean with denatured alcohol or hypochlorite solutions.Washing and/or cleaning the autoclavable jar as to be carried out as follows:
- Wear protective gloves and apron (glasses and face mask if necessary) to avoid contact with contaminatingsubstances;
- Disconnect the jar from the device
- Disconnect all tubes from the jar and the protection filter
- Empty and dispose of the Jar according to the laws in force in your country;
- Separate all parts of the cover (overflow valve, o-ring);
After disposing of disposable parts and disassembling the jar wash in running cold water and rinse thoroughly.Then soak in warm water (temperature shall not exceed 60°C). Wash thoroughly and if necessary use a non-abrasive brush to remove incrustations.Rinse in running warm water and dry all parts with a soft cloth (non-abrasive).The jar and the cover can be autoclaved by placing the parts into the autoclave and running one sterilization stem cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure) making sure thatthe jar is positioned upsidedown.After sterilization and cooling at an environmental temperature of the parts make sure that these are not damaged.Assemble the jar as follows:
- Place the overflow valve into its seat in the cover (under VACUUM connector)
- Insert floating valve keeping the o-ring towards the opening of the cage
- Place the o-ring into its seat around the cover
- After completing assembling operations always make sure that the cover seals perfectly to avoid vacuum leakages or liquid exit
The aspiration tubes can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 120°C. The conical connector can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C.
| DO NOT WASH, STERILIZE OR PUT IN AUTOCLAVE THE ANTIBACTERIAL FILTER |
Aspiration jar: the mechanical resistance of the component is guaranteed up to 30 cycles of cleaning and sterilization. Beyond this limit, the physical-chemical characteristics of the plastic material may show signs of decay. Therefore, we recommend that you change it.Silicone tubes: the number of cycles of sterilization and/or cleaning is strictly linked to the employment of the said tube. Therefore, after each cleaning cycle, it is up to the final user to verify whether the tube is suitable for reuse. The component must be replaced if there are visible signs of decay of the material constituting the said component.Conical fitting: the number of cycles of sterilization and the number of cleaning cycles is strictly linked to the employment of the said component. Therefore, after each cleaning cycle, it is up to the final user to verify whether the fitting is suitable for reuse. The component must be replaced if there are visible signs of decay in the material constituting the said component.
PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE CHECKS
The TOBI MANUALE SUCTION ASPIRATOR does not need maintenance or lubrication. It is necessary to check the functioning and instrument before every use. Unpack the instrument and always check the integrity of plastic parts, they might have been damaged during previous use. Close the aspirator outlet with your finger.Press the foot and check the vacuum functionally.
| Type of fault | Cause | Remedy |
| 1. No aspiration | Jar Cap badly screwed down | Unscrewed the cap, then re-screw it correctly |
| 2. No aspiration | Lid seal is not in its seat | Unscrew the cap and insert the seal prop- early in its seat |
| 3. The float doesn’t close | The float it’s covered by dirty material | Unscrewed the cap, leave the and put in on autoclave |
| 4. The float doesn’t close | If the cap has been washed, ensure that the float is not partially detached | Fit the float into its place |
| 5. Low suction | Foam inside the jar | Fill the jar to 1/3 full of ordinary water |
| 6. No aspiration due to flow leakage of mucus | Filter blocked | Replace filter |
| 7. The Vacuum power on the patient side iseither very low or absent |

| Faults 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 | None of the remedies has achieved the desired results | Contact the seller or GIMA After-sales Assistance Service |
If the overfill security system is activated, don’t proceed with the liquid aspiration. If the overfill security system doesn’t work there are two cases:1st case – If the overfill security system doesn’t work the aspiration will be stopped by the bacteriological filter who avoiding the liquid penetration inside the device.2nd case – If both the security system and the bacteriological filter do not work, there is the possibility that liquid has leaked inside the device, in this case, return the device to GIMA technical service.
| BEFORE EVERY CHECKING OPERATION, IN CASE OF ANOMALIES OR BAD FUNCTIONING, PLEASE CONTACT GIMA TECHNICAL SERVICE. GIMA DOES NOT GIVE A GUARANTEE IF THE INSTRUMENT, AFTER THE TECHNICAL SERVICE CHECKING, APPEARS TO TAMPER. |
INSTRUCTION FOR USE
Connect the short silicon tube, with an antibacterial filter, to the suction connector. The other tube, with one end connected to the filter, must be connected with the other end o the jar’s lid connector where has been fixed the red float. When 90% of the volume of the jar is reached there is the activation of the security float (the float closes the aspiration connector on the jar) to avoid liquid penetration inside the device.The device must be used on a plan of horizontal operation.Filter assembling
Make sure the filter is assembled with the arrows on the side of the patient.WARNING: The inside of the medical device must be regularly checked for the presence of liquids or other visible contamination (secretions). In the presence of liquids or other visible contamination, immediately replace the medical device due to the risk of an insufficient vacuum flow rate.These products have been designed, tested, and manufactured exclusively for single patient use and for a period no longer than 24 hours.
- Connect the long silicon tube to the other jar’s lid connector
- Connect the other end of the long silicon tube to the probe plastic connector then connect the suction probe to it.
- Unscrew the jar’s lid and fill the jar 1/3 full of ordinary water (this for easy cleaning operations and a rapid reaching of the functionality vacuum) the re-screw the lid on the jar correctly.
- Push foot to start the suction.
- To extract the accessories and start with cleaning as written in the clean chapter
