The MANUVAC aspirator is a vacuum pump, inde- pendent of an energy source, which can be operated manually or with the foot or knee. The MANUVAC aspirator is a vacuum device for use outdoors, used in medical technology, especially emergency medicine, to aspirate significant accumu- lations of blood, mucus, saliva etc.
Any use of the appliance is subject to detailed knowledge and consideration of these Operat- ing Instructions. • MANUVAC must be used for the intended use only (see "2.1 Intended use" on page 5). • Observe the section “5. Hygienic preparation”...

• MANUVAC may only be used by trained staff in- structed in aspiration techniques. Incorrect use can cause serious bodily harm. • During the aspiration process, take particular care not to cause injuries to the patient’s mouth or throat, e.g.
4. Use The MANUVAC vacuum pump is supplied fully as- sembled and is quickly and easily put into use. 4.1 Putting into operation 1. Place the vacuum pump on a strong, steady base. The red vent flap must be closed.
(1st stage) with the adapter from the thick suc- tion hose (2nd stage). • To bridge a distance between the MANUVAC vacuum pump and the patient via the thick suc- tion hose (2nd stage), the secretion bottle can be removed from the clip. The connecting hose does not affect the suction capacity.

• The red vent flap should always be open (Fig.8) during direct aspiration with the thick hose (2nd stage). The suction is built up by closing the vent duct with the index finger and can also be regu- lated by opening and closing this duct. •...
4.3 After aspiration 1. After completing the aspiration, empty the se- cretion bottle and rinse it, together with the se- cretion cap and the suction hoses with clear water on the spot. 2. Then replace the secretion cap so that the trian- gular mark points to the upper middle line of the secretion bottle, then fit the hoses together.
After every aspiration process, hygienic preparation of the MANUVAC aspiration pump and the accesso- ries used is essential. We recommend immediate cleaning with clear water (on the spot if possible).

6. Functional check To guarantee satisfactory operation of the MANUVAC vacuum pump, the function must be checked every time the pump is disinfected and sterilised. Procedure: • Ensure that the hose connections are tight. • Check that the hoses and rubber parts are in good condition.
If the fault cannot be remedied, it is advisable to con- tact the manufacturer WEINMANN Emergency or re- turn the set to the works for overhaul. Do not continue to use the vacuum pump since this could lead to serious damage.
8. Maintenance 8.1 Intervals The MANUVAC vacuum pump requires no mainte- nance other than observation of the cleaning and function instructions. However, the disk diaphragm should be examined every 2 years. Procedure: • Unscrew the four support feet and remove the base plate, so that the disk diaphragm can be seen.
