1.1 About this document
This document describes all possible versions of the device.
Functions, accessories and other parts which are described in this
document or shown in the images depend on the version
purchased and are not always available.
Diagrams in these instructions for use serve to improve basic
understanding and may differ from the actual design. No claims
can be derived from any deviations.
1.2 Explanation of warning notices
Warnings are used to flag up safety-relevant information.
You will find a warning preceding any action that entails a hazard
for persons or equipment.
Warnings consist of
• the warning symbol (pictogram),
• a signal word designating the hazard level,
• information about the hazard and
• instructions for avoiding the hazard.

WM 68161a 2023-05
1 Introduction
The warnings appear in three hazard levels depending on the
degree of danger:
1.3 Function
1.3.1 Device
The device is operated with a battery or an external 12 V DC power
source (12 V connection cable or power supply unit and charger).
During suction, a vacuum pump in the device generates a vacuum
in the hoses/tubes and the canister system. This vacuum suctions
the suction material (e.g., secretions, blood, bodily fluids, or food
particles) into the canister system. The vacuum can be regulated.
Danger!
Designates an extremely dangerous situation. Failure to observe
this warning will lead to serious, irreversible injury or death.
Warning!
Designates an extremely dangerous situation. Failure to observe
this warning may lead to serious, irreversible or fatal injury.
Caution!
Designates a dangerous situation. Failure to observe this warning
may lead to minor or moderately serious injury.
Notice!
Indicates a hazardous situation. Failure to observe this warning
may lead to damage to equipment.
Designates useful information relating to a particular action.

1 Introduction
1.3.2 Reusable canister system
The reusable canister system is stored on the side of the device in
the holder for reusable canister system and is connected directly to
the device inlet. The suction material is conveyed to the reusable
secretions canister via a reusable suction hose. A float ball and a
hydrophobic bacteria filter in the secretions canister cover prevent
bacteria and the suction material from entering the device. The
float ball floats on the surface of the suction material until it blocks
the outlet. The hydrophobic bacteria filter also filters contaminated
air and seals off the pores if they become wetted with droplets.
1.3.3 Disposable canister system
The disposable canister system is stored on the side of the device
in the holder for disposable canister system and is connected to the
device inlet via the vacuum tube. The disposable canister system
contains a Serres suction bag with integrated bacteria filter, which
prevents the suction material from entering the device. The suction
material is conveyed to the Serres suction bag via a disposable
suction hose. The disposable suction hose and Serres suction bag
are single-use devices and should be disposed of after use.
