MAINTENANCE
The NEW HOSPIVAC 400 / NEW HOSPIVAC 350 suction equipment does not need maintenance or
lubrication.
It is necessary to check functioning and instrument before every use. Unpack the instrument and always
check integrity of plastic parts and feeding cable, they might have been damaged during previous use.
Always check the integrity of the footswitch power cord. Connect cable to electrical network and turn switch
on.
Close the aspiration outlet with your finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum position check
that the vacuum indicators reaches
-90 kPa (-0.90 bar) maximum. Rotate the knob from right to left and check the aspiration regulating control.
The vacuum indicator should go down -40 kPa (-0.40 bar). Verify that loud noises are not present, these can
indicate wrong functioning.
A protection fuse (F 1 x 4A 250V) reachable from exterior and it situated in the plug protects the instrument.
For use replacing, always check the type and the range indicated.
If the overfill security system it’s activated, don’t proceed with the liquid aspiration.
If the overfill security system doesn’t work there are two cases:
1° case – If the overfill security system doesn’t work the aspiration will be stopped by the bacteriological filter who
avoid the liquid penetration inside the device. 2° case – If both the security system doesn’t work, there is the
possibility that liquid comes inside the device, in this case return the device to CA-MI technical service.

INSTRUCTIONS
Connect the short silicon tube fitted with the antibacterial filter
with the
Device suction union (you may choose either the right or th e
left union).
The other tube, by one end connected with the filter, should
instead
be connected with the union on the tank lid marked as
“VACUUM” in
which the float (signalling when the device is too full) is fitte d.
The float signals when the maximum level of volume is reached
(i.e. 90% of the tank volume has already been used) to prevent
liquid from entering the machine (the float closes the lid
junction).
This equipment should only be utilised on an horizontal
working
surface.
WARNING: Ensure that the IN marker on the filter is on the side facing the collection jar lid and fitted into
the “VACUUM”.
A wrong connection causes immediate destruction in case of contact with sucked liquids.
Connect the long silicon tube with the lid union still free and marked as “PATIENT”.
Connect the conical junction for probe insertion with the free end of the long silicon tube.
Insert the plug of the equipment feeding cable into a power socket.
Press the ON/OFF button to start the medical equipment.
To deal with foam formation within the tank, unscrew the tank lid and fill 1/3 of the tank with water (to
make cleaning easier and speed up depression while operating the equipment), place the lid on the jar.
While using the equipment, the suction tank should always be used vertically to avoid the intervention of
the antireflux valve. In case of intervention of this protection, switch the device off and disconnect the
tube connected with the suction tank (the one marked as “VACUUM”) on the same lid.
You can then detach all accessories and perform cleaning operations as described under “Cleaning
accessories and internal parts” below.
Using the footswitch control: Connect the footswitch control feeding cable with the plug marked as
“FOOTSWITCH CONTROL”.
After the device has been connected, all Leds are still off. When the ON/OFF button is pressed, all Leds are
activated at once for 1 second (autotest).
At the end of the autotest cycle, the ON/OFF button led will flash.
Press the button marked as (---) to perform suction using the footswitch control and execute intermittence
work cycles.
Press the button marked as (-) to perform remote suction using the footswitch control (continuous suction).
To stop suction just push on the footswitch control with strength.

Using the footswitch control and the flow deviator: If using equipment fitted with a flow deviator, users
may direct suctioned liquids in any of the two collection tanks provided. Flow deviator comes with two
complete suction kits (2 sets of tubes, 2 antibacterial and hydrophobic filters and two conical junctions).
After the device has been connected, all Leds are still off. When the ON/OFF button is pressed, all Leds are
activated at once for 1 second (autotest). At the end of the autotest cycle, the ON/OFF button led will flash.
To decide which side to perform the suction from, press OUT LEFT or OUT RIGHT and the selected button
led will show a blue light.
Press the ON/OFF button again to start the suction cycle.
If the device is set up for using the flow deviator, ensure the antibacterial filter has been positioned on both
sides.
Connect the footswitch control feeding cable with the plug marked as “FOOTSWITCH CONTROL”.
Press the button marked as (---) to perform suction using the footswitch control and execute intermittence
work cycles.
Press the button marked as (-) to perform remote suction using the footswitch control (continuous suction).
To stop suction just push on the footswitch control with strength. Press the ON/OFF button to stop the
medical equipment. Before removing the feeding plug, ensure autotest has been performed on the panel.
Using FLOVAC® disposable collection system: Before connecting the disposable collection system,
remove the white ring fitted on the tank holder for a more comfortable insertion of the same container.
Connect the short tube with the throttle connector marked as “VACUUM” fitted on the lid of the disposable
pocket. The container should be positioned on ON. The long silicon tube should be connected with the
connector marked as “PATIENT”.
In order to perform suction, close the connector marked as “TANDEM” with the lid provided.
If using the equipment with FLOVAC® disposable collection system antibacterial filters are not required since
each disposable pocket is already provided with an inside filter. The hydrophobic antireflux and antibacterial
filter provided will protect the equipment, while also acting as float valve deactivating vacuum generation
when the maximum volume level is reached.
When the float valve intervenes signalling the device is too full, the suction source must be disconnected
within no more than 5 minutes.
Warning: The accidental inversion of connections may cause contamination for the operator and/or
for the vacuum generation equipment.
