3. Description
3.1 Purpose
ACCUVAC Rescue 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 mattresses and inflatable
splints.
ACCUVAC Rescue:
•
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;
3.2 Function
An electrically powered diaphragm pump gener-
ates the vacuum necessary for aspiration.

can see the operating status even after dark.
Note
Once the preselected vacuum is reached, the pump
switches to standby. If the vacuum changes, the pump
starts up again to restore the vacuum to the preselect-
ed level.
The aspirated material passes through the aspira-
tion tube
into the collection canister.
