The MAXIASPEED aspirator is a professional device suitable for outpatient use, specifically for the aspiration of secretions. It is also suit-
able for use in hospital wards, on tracheotomy patients, or for surgical applications. It is equipped with 4 anti-static wheels (1.7) with a brake
device, a telescopic pulling handle (1.1), vacuum regulator (1.3), vacuum gauge (1.2) and two vessels of 2 L. or 4 L. (depending on version).
The vessels feature a protection device against liquid entering the vacuum pump, which interrupts the aspiration flow. It is lubrication free,
easy to handle, simple to use, reliable, strong and quiet. The MAXIASPEED aspirator also has a switch (1.4) for switching the aspiration
flow from one vessel to the other, very easily and without having to touch any possibly contaminated parts. The MAXIASPEED aspirator
has the following accessories: 2 Vessels of 2 L. or 4 L. with protection device, power supply cable, 2 sterilisable silicone connection tubes Ø
8x14 - short, 2 sterilisable silicone connection tubes Ø 8x14 - long, 2 aspiration fittings, 2 antibacteria filters, pedal switch (for versions with
the relevant socket only). N.B.: Only use genuine accessories supplied by 3A Health Care; the accessories supplied with the
device by the manufacturer have been tested and proven compliant with the latest current safety standards. WARNING!
Correct operation of the device is not guaranteed in the event of use of accessories other than those supplied.
Mains-operated medical /surgical aspirator intended for outpatient use.
Medical purposes: This product is intended for use for the aspiration of body fluids.
Intended users of the product:

Expected duration: Duration may vary based on the operating environment. The lifetime of the device is 5 years and that of the col-
lection vessel and the silicone tubes 1 year or 30 sterilisation cycles. The antibacterial filter is disposable device and must therefore be
replaced after each application. Frequent use of the product may shorten the duration.
Precautions for use: The warnings and cautions described in the instruction manual must be observed.
This is a medical device and it must be used by authorised personnel. It must be operated as instructed in this
use manual. It is important for the operator to read and understand the use and maintenance information of the
device. Contact your retailer for any questions you may have. MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION: where pathologies
are present with microbial infection and contamination risks, perform the cleaning and disinfecting operations
scrupulously after every use on the patient.
The manufacturer ensures that everything necessary is done to ensure that every device is of the highest quality and safety. Neverthe-
less, basic safety rules must always be followed, as for every electrical device.
• The device must only be used by specialised personnel.
• This device must be exclusively used for the purpose for which it was designed; in particular as a surgical aspirator. All other uses
are improper and dangerous, and the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any consequences deriving from improper use.
• Never use adaptors for power supply voltages different to those shown on the plate data label on the back of the device.
• Keep the cable far away from hot surfaces.
• The device is not suitable for use in the presence of anaesthetic mixes inflammable with air, or oxygen, or nitrogen oxide.
• Never handle the power supply plug with wet hands.
Never leave the device close to water; do not submerge it in liquids, dot not wet it. If this should occur, pull the plug out of the
power supply socket immediately, before touching the device. Do not use the device if the plug or power supply cable are dam-
aged, or wet (send it to your retailer immediately).
• The device casing is not protected against the entry of liquids.
• Always take out the power supply plug immediately after use.
• Maintenance and/or repair must only be performed by authorised personnel. Unauthorised repairs invalidate the guarantee.
• Ensure that the connections and vessel closing is performed carefully to prevent aspiration leakages.
• Do not upset the vessels while they are connected to the device when running, because the liquid comes into direct contact with the hy-
drophobic antibacteria filter and immediately blocks aspiration; if this should happen, empty the vessel and replace the antibacteria filter.
• In the event of aspiration without vessel and/or antibacterial filter, or if you suspect that solid or liquid substances have entered
the aspiration circuit, send the device to customer service.
