NOUVAG AG Vacuson 40/605.4 Optional: operation with AIR-pedal(According to each order an “AIR“ – pedal is included!)The suction pressure can be regulated with the AIR-pedal. The more the pedal is pushed down, themore extraneous air will be suctioned by the AIR-pedal, the suction pressure in the cannula will be alsoreduced.5.5 Regulation of the suction procedureThe Vacuum Regulator “VACUUM“ regulates the Suction mode. The Manometer indicates the actualnegative, barometric, pressure (rarefaction) in Bars.Turn right: ...................................... rarefaction increasesTurn left: ......................................... negative pressure decreasesSetting the Desired Barometric Maximum:1) Set Vacuum Regulator ”VACUUM“ left to minimum.2) Press ”ON/OFF” button to start vacuum pump (if “ON/OFF” pedal is also connected, push downpedal to start vacuum pump).3) Crimp suction tube to achieve maximum system integrity4) Turn Vacuum regulator right to maximum.5) Wait till manometer indicates maximum negative pressure (> -0.8 bar).6) Set Regulator to desired maximum between 0 and 0.8 bar.If the system is not airtight (a defective seal, for example) the Manometer willindicate < -0.7 bar!5.6 Emptying the full JarThe Secretion Jar Lid has a mechanical Overflow Protection device. This preventsliquid backing up in the connecting Tube and, crucially, into the pump The OverflowProtection float closes the tube at the maximum secretion level.When the secretion level is too high and the Overflow Protection device closes, emptythe full Jar or replace it by an empty one:1) Turn Suction Pump off.2) Remove Tubings from Suction Jar.3) Remove full Jar from holder and dispose suctioned secretion in conformity with local laws andregulations.4) Secure Lid firmly and hang Secretion Jar on support mounting.5) Reconnect Tubes according to Secretion Jar’s instructions (see Chapter 4.6 Suction AssemblyConnection).Operation can be resumed with the empty and properly connected Secretion Jar.5.7 Operation with two Secretion JarsSecretion jars can be hung left and right on the Control Unit. When the first Secretion Jar is full, theVacuum Pump must be turned off and the connection tubes attached to the second Secretion Jarbefore the Vacuum Pump can be startet and the operation can be resumed.Even after closing, some liquid will still run into the Jar, subject to the negativepressure remaining in the bottle.No. 31791 04/08 7
