Description

The eVAC Hand Operated Suction Pump is a light, state of the art,
high-vacuum, portable emergency device, which can be powered with
one-hand operation, leaving the other hand free for different tasks. It
was designed with a swivel which gives the operator better
accessibility whilst working in tight situations and avoids premature
engagement of the overflow mechanism. The unit has been designed
to provide efficient operation and simple maintenance.

Directions For Use

Select  the  appropriately  sized  suction  cannula  and  connector
according  to  the  size  of  the  patient.  Attach  Connector  and  Suction
Cannula  to  the  Cap  Connection  Port  of  the  Collection  Jar.  Attach
Pump Handle to the Cap Connection Port. Ensure that the Collection
Jar is firmly attached to the Cap Connection Port.

Caution

: It very important that the Collection Jar Cap is attached all

the way to the Pump Handle, and that all connections are tight and
firm.

The  eVAC  Hand  Operated  Suction  Pump  is  operated  by  a  simple
squeeze action  of the trigger. Pull or squeeze the trigger towards the
Pump  Handle  to  create  the  vacuum  in  the  pump,  and  fluid  will  be
suctioned  into  the  Collection  jar.  A  one-way  valve  mechanism
prevents loss of suction.

Once suctioning is finished, remove the tube slowly from the patient.
Unsnap the filled Collection jar and Cannula from the Pump Handle.
Place the filled Jar and tubing into a poly bag; seal bag and dispose
of appropriately.

Overflow Protection Mechanism

The  eVAC  Hand  Operated  Suction  Pump  is  equipped  with  an
overflow  protection  mechanism  which  will  engage  once  the  jar  is
filled.  It  is  not  possible  to  continue  squeezing  the  handle  once  the
Collection Jar is full; extremely high resistance will be felt. When this
happens,  empty  the  Collection  Jar  or  replace  with  a  back-up  jar  for
further  suctioning.  The  overflow  protection  mechanism  will  ensure
that  the  fluid  will  not  enter  the  housing  of  the  Pump  Handle
assembly once the Collection Jar is full.

When  the  suction  port  of  the  cap  is  pointed  towards  the  floor,  a
flapper  valve  will  close  to  avoid  spilling  the  aspirated  contents  from
the Collection Jar.

If  the  tip  of  the  Suction  Cannula  becomes  blocked,  increased
resistance  will  be  felt  and  the  Pump  handle  will  become  difficult  to
operate.  Do  not  continue  suctioning  and  lift  the  Suction  Cannula
away  from  the  occlusion.  Remove  the  blockage  from  the  tip  of  the
Cannula by disconnecting and shaking until clear, or replace with a
fresh cannula.

If  the  pump  is  turned  upside  down,  the  overflow  protection
mechanism will be engaged and it will be impossible to suction. If a
sudden resistance is felt during suctioning and the Collection Jar is
not  full,  then  the  overflow  protection  mechanism  may  have  become
engaged. Disconnect the Collection Jar from the Pump to release the
vacuum;  shake  the  jar  slightly  to  reset  and  reconnect.  This  should
disengage the overflow protection mechanism.

Note:

When disconnecting the Collection Jar from the Pump, it is

important to pull apart to separate—do NOT twist. Twisting can
result in damage to the end stops.

Directions For Use

Cleaning And Disinfecting

If the suction pump was contaminated, disinfect the pump and
handle (by scouring with warm soapy water, mild detergent, bleach
solution, etc) before placing into storage.

Caution:

NOT

immerse the pump unit in liquid.

Basic Functional Test

It is important to check the pump function before returning it for
use. Mount a Collection Jar , occlude the Connection Port with your
thumb or palm and squeeze the handle to check the vacuum.

Maintenance

Apart from the cleaning and testing procedures referred to above the
eVAC Hand Operated Suction Pump requires no special maintenance
or storage conditions.

Cautions

Read directions prior to use. The eVAC Hand Operated Suction Pump
should  be  used  by  persons  with  training  in  suction  techniques.  The
use  of  the  suction  device  may  require  that  appropriate  infectious
disease precautions be taken during use, cleaning of the device, and
disposal of the tubing and the Collection Jar (as per local protocol).
