See back cover for details

The cord attachment and fuse are located on the rear panel of

the unit. The front panel of the UltraVac+ is divided into two

sections: Pressure Wand and Vacuum/Drying Chamber. The

operation of each section is explained in detail in the

appropriate section of this manual.

 Caution: This product is designed for use on hearing aids.

DO NOT USE ON THE HUMAN EAR.

 Caution: To avoid the risk of electrical shock or serious injury

do not remove the white cover of this equipment. Service should

be performed by factory trained and authorized personnel.

BASIC OPERATION

The UltraVac+ was designed to give dispensers and technicians

functional tool for repairing, restoring and maintaining hearing

aids.

It is easy to use which makes it ideal for those who may

be just getting started and powerful enough for the demands of

the most

experienced technician. The display panel indicates the

vacuum level of the Drying Chamber and time remaining during

use. The functions and applications for this product are:

Vacuum Wand - Used to extract ear wax and debris from

receiver tubes, microphone tubes, vents and battery

compartments.

Pressure Function - Used to blow air through the

pressure

wand and to clear clogged cleaning tips.

Drying Chamber - Displaces moisture trapped within a

hearing aid.

UltraVac+ Manual •UVP-I-MULVAC-1

Effective 12-09-16

The system is powered by the switch on the back of the unit.

The operation of each function is explained

later in this

manual. We recommend the system be turned off

when not in

use for extended periods of time (especially overnight).

The function switch on the front panel is labeled to easily indicate

which feature is being used. The Drying

Chamber and Vacuum

Wand cannot be used simultaneously. By

turning on one of

these functions, the other will automatically be

turned off.

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE

We recommend you follow the restoration steps listed below to

get the maximum benefit from the UltraVac+.

Hearing Instrument Evaluation - It is good practice to

examine the instrument for obvious defects and discuss with

your patient any concerns they have with the operation of the

aid. Counsel patient on what you will be doing to improve or

correct the problem. If possible, test the condition of the

battery and if it is weak or dead, replace it. If the aid is dead

(or damaged), have the patient acknowledge this before

proceeding.

Remove Visible Wax - Using the cleaning tool kit provided

with the UltraVac+, clean any large, visible accumulation of

cerumen from the instrument.

Drying Chamber - Place it in the Drying chamber to displace

and evacuate moisture vapor from within the aid.

Vacuum Wand - Use the Vacuum Wand to remove wax and

debris from the receiver tube, microphone inlet and battery

compartment. It is a good practice to do this even if you do

not see any debris. Many of the component failures in an aid

are caused by accumulation of micro-particles of debris.

Pressure Function - Use this function to clear obstructed

vacuum needle tips and to blow debris from vent tracks and

battery compartments.

UltraVac+ Manual •UVP-I-MULVAC-1

Effective 12-09-16

DRYING CHAMBER

To use the Drying Chamber, place the hearing aid (including

earmold if BTE) on the pad and cover it with the vacuum cup. You

can place two ITE’s or one BTE with mold in the chamber at a

time. Put the WAND/CHAMBER switch to

the CHAMBER setting.

Press the START switch. Press firmly on the vacuum cup to ensure a

good

seal. The approximate vacuum level in the chamber will be

indicated on the display panel.

As the pump runs, it displaces moisture vapor from inside the

hearing aid. Make sure the chamber cup is centered on the pad.

Again, it may be necessary to apply light pressure on the top of

the cup to attain a proper vacuum. This is very important for the

DRYING CHAMBER to work properly. A CHECK VACUUM message

will appear if a proper seal is not attained.

The pump will automatically turn off at the end of the cycle. A

message “TOGGLE TO VENT” will appear on the display. Move the

WAND/CHAMBER switch to the WAND position to release the

vacuum. Remove the hearing aid(s) from the chamber upon

completion.

The cycle can be ended prior to the 4 minute timer by pressing the

STOP switch. Then, the chamber can be vented as described above,

or the re-started, with the time remaining on the display.

Moving the WAND/CHAMBER switch to the WAND position during

chamber operation will vent the chamber and turn the pump off.

Press START to resume wand operation.

CHANGE DRYING CHAMBER FILTER

When significant discoloration is visible, change the Drying Chamber

Filter. Using tweezers grab and pull filter to remove. Place two or three

dots of Elmer's All Purpose Glue on the edge of new filter. Use

tweezers to insert the glued filter. NOTE: Too much glue will clog

the fabric.

VACUUM WAND

To activate the Vacuum Wand, press the WAND/CHAMBER switch

to the WAND setting, press the START switch.

The unit will now

provide a continuous suction to the Vacuum

Wand. Use the

wand to vacuum ear wax and debris from the

receiver tube,

microphone inlet, vent and battery compartment of

the aid. If the

UltraVac+ Manual •UVP-I-MULVAC-1

Effective 12-09-16

drying chamber was in use when moving the switch to the

WAND setting, it will be necessary to press START again to

restart the pump. Choose the appropriate vacuum tip which will

allow you to insert

it into tube openings, vents and

compartments. Care should be

taken so the tubes or

components are not pushed in or dislodged. Press the STOP

switch when finished.

DO NOT OPERATE THE VACUUM WAND WITHOUT THE

FILTER ASSEMBLY.

PRESSURE WAND

The Pressure Wand is active at the same time as the Vacuum

wand. Press START to turn the pump on and press STOP when

finished. If a tip on the vacuum wand is clogged, move it to the

Pressure Wand and turn the pump on. If the vacuum tip

cannot be cleared using the

pressure function, turn the unit

off and remove the tip from the

wand. A specially designed tool

(marked with red) for cleaning

vacuum tips is included in the

enclosed tool kit.

The wand assembly can be removed from the coupling on the

base unit by pushing in the retaining ring and gently pulling on

the tubing. To reinstall, simply insert the tubing back into the coupler.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The UltraVac+ has been engineered to provide years of

trouble-free service. There are no field serviceable components

inside the cabinet.

Changing the Filter - The particulate filter has been located on

the Vacuum Wand for ease of service. It should be replaced

when significant amounts of debris are visible. To replace

the filter, grip the end cap of the filter and rotate it to the

left, then pull. Change the filter element and rubber O-ring

with a new one. Replace the end cap and rotate it to the right.

The filter must be in place for the Vacuum Wand to

operate properly. You must use the same type of filter and

O-ring or the performance of the vacuum will be affected.

Should condensation develop in the particulate filter of Vacuum Wand

tube, run the system for 10 minutes to remove.

UltraVac+ Manual •UVP-I-MULVAC-1

Effective 12-09-16

Cleaning - To keep your UltraVac+ looking brand new, wipe

the cabinet and control panel with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains

may be removed by using a cloth moistened with water and

mild detergent. Do not allow debris or fluid to enter the

Drying Chamber air inlet port.

Cleaning the Wand - Unscrew the white luer and the Orange

adapter from the filter body. Use cotton tipped applicators to

remove wax and debris from inside the wand body. If using water or

alcohol to flush the body, ensure inside is dry. Screw the

white luer back on.

Recommended Procedures for Cleaning & Disinfection

of UltraVac+ tips

Contaminated UltraVac+ cleaning tips should be clearly

identified and kept separate from clean tips. The contaminated

tips should be wiped clean using either of the acceptable cleaning

agents (see below). Cleaning removes soil and body materials (e.g.

blood, organic soils) and must occur as an integral first step before

re-use.

1. Gather all equipment, cleaning solutions and materials

required to clean the patient care devices.

2. WASH hands and put on gloves prior to cleaning the

devices. Personal protective equipment should be changed

if torn or soiled. Use protective eyewear during the

cleaning procedure.

3. Visible or gross soil present and/or blood or body fluid

spills must be removed prior to cleaning.

4. Clean all surfaces of the patient care equipment or devices.

To ensure that cross contamination does not occur

use clean cloths or sealed Alcohol swabs for each device

to be cleaned. If using an open bucket system,

ensure that solutions do not become contaminated

(NO DOUBLE DIPPING). Allow surfaces to remain wet

for 30 seconds to achieve the 30-second Broad-Spectrum

Sanitizing claim.

5. Connect the tips to a 20cc or larger syringe and flush with

the chosen cleaning solution a minimum of five (5) times

(at least 100 ml total), thereby cleaning the interior of the

tips. Immerse the flushed tips in a container of cleaning

solution for 20 minutes, then allow to dry after blowing out

any retained solution with air. To disinfect other surfaces,

UltraVac+ Manual •UVP-I-MULVAC-1

Effective 12-09-16

reapply the cleaning solution and allow surfaces to

remain wet for five (5) minutes to achieve the Bactericidal,

General Virucide, Fungicidal and Tuberculocidal claim.

6. Soiled rags should be placed in a bag for laundering.

Disposable cloths should be disposed as regular waste in

garbage bags.

7. Remove and discard gloves, WASH hands.

Wand, Hose and Filter Cleaning

1. Every week, remove the Hose and Wand assembly from

the UltraVac+ and unscrew the Luer fitting and black

hose barb from the wand. A 5/16” end-wrench is needed

for the hose barb. Clean the wand interior with long

cotton tip applicators and alcohol. Clean the exterior

with Alcohol Swabs. Immerse the hose in a bath of

alcohol for 10 to 20 minutes, lowering one end first to

remove all the air from the hose. The drying cup and

chamber bottom may be cleaned with Alcohol Swabs.

After air drying, run the system for 10 minutes and

one drying chamber cycle to remove any residual

alcohol. The drying chamber filter is located in the center

of the black rubber chamber base.

2. We usually recommend changing the two filters when visible

discoloration and particles are present. Alternatively,

changing them every month will be a good schedule.

Acceptable Cleaning Agents

1. Isopropyl Alcohol – 70% by volume (preferred)

2. Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) disinfectant – 3%

Precautions for Transport

When transporting the UltraVac+, use the system’s original

packing case or similar packaging. Care must be taken to

protect it from shock and mishandling.
