DANGER
The VAC-ASSIST Suction Unit is a vacuum suction device designed for the
collection of nonflammable fluid materials in medical applications only. Improper
use during medical applications can cause injury or death.
For all medical applications:
1. All suctioning should be done in strict accordance with appropriate procedures that
have been established by a licensed medical authority.
2. Some attachments or accessories may not fit the tubing supplied. All attachments or
accessories should be checked prior to use to assure proper fit.
2. AC POWER SOURCE
CAUTION
The Model HCS7000 is used with a power supply allowing operation on AC voltage
(115 VAC, 60 Hz). However the correct power source must be used to connect to
adaptable wall power.
3. ELECTRICAL
Compressor:
If the overload protector shuts off the motor frequently, you may have a low voltage
situation. Low voltage can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Other motor operated appliances fail to operate properly. Too many motor operated
appliances on same circuit.
NOTE
The motor of this compressor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheat, the
overload protector will shut off the motor. If this occurs, turn the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position and allow the motor to cool (approximately 5 minutes). Restart compressor.
If the compressor fails to start, wait an additional 5 minutes before attempting to restart. If
this fails, inspect the fuses on your suction unit. If the unit still does not restart, call your
medical equipment provider immediately.

4. Place the patient tubing to the appropriate position of patient and start to suck sputum.
5. When the sputum reaches the safe full level of collection bottle (800 cc), the suctioning
will stop sucking automatically (float shut-off).
6. Switch the power switch to “O” position (off), shut off the suction motor.
7. Remove the sputum from collection bottle after the motor stops turning completely.
(Please refer to the section “CLEAN INSTRUCTIONS” on page 9 for the directions of
how to clean the collection bottle).
8. Turn on the unit and start to run the suction unit again.
NOTE
1. If the unit sustains a severe drop, validity of the gauge must be checked. Inspect if the
float shut-off is still functioning properly when the liquid in the collection bottle reaches
the safe full level.
2. Always transport unit with vacuum adjust knob rotated fully clockwise in case unit is
dropped.
CAUTION
1. When automatic float shut-off is activated, contents of the collection bottles
should be emptied. Further suctioning could cause damage to the vacuum
pump.
2. Should fluid be aspirated back into the unit, send your suction to an authorized
service center for a detailed inspection as the vacuum pump may have been
damaged.
