General Description
The S-SCORT...Jr.® Quickdraw is a non-sterile hand held 12V DC battery powered portable suction device to be used by professional personnel trained in Emergency Care techniques of constant suctioning to clear the airway by removing bodily fluids and particulate matter. Suction power can be regulated when full power may be considered harmful to the patient.
Models 2400, 2401 and 2402
A fully charged sealed lead acid battery will power the unit for 30 minutes (±10%). The battery is charged by an internal, dual mode battery charger. Battery condition is automatically monitored and is indicated by LED’s on the side of the chassis. The charging system will fully charge the battery in 3 to 4 hours when connected to an electrical power source. S-SCORT suction units are powered by sealed lead acid batteries. A sealed lead acid battery is a very stable and reliable battery. Many factors can affect the life of a battery: • Leaving a unit switched on after there is no longer enough power to run the pump can cause a battery to deep discharge. This can reduce the life of, or destroy the battery. • Failing to charge a battery for an extended period of time will also cause the battery to go into deep discharge. • Low temperatures may reduce the available capacity. • High temperatures may cause deformation of the battery case and damage the battery. Sealed lead acid batteries can easily be maintained to permit proper operation of the equipment. To protect the battery, after each procedure turn the unit off, put the unit on charge and always store the pump at room temperature. The only way to assure the battery has functional capacity, even if it is indicated the battery is fully charged, is to perform the weekly check suggested on page 7 of this operations manual.
Model 2403
A fully charged alkaline battery will power the unit continuously for 180 minutes (±10%). After running for 180 minutes (±10%) the unit will run at reduced power and the red battery condition LED will light indicating it is time to replace the battery. When the red LED begins to blink, only a few minutes run time remain. Install a new battery in the Quickdraw. The battery is a single use battery and is intended to be discarded once it has been discharged. Dispose of the battery according to local / regional / national requirements for the disposal of hazardous waste. Battery condition is automatically monitored and indicated by an indicator light on the side of the chassis.
Battery Warning
The 80613 alkaline battery will power the sealed lead acid version of the Quickdraw (Models 2400, 2401, and 2402) for 180 minutes (± 10%), however, the battery condition LEDs will not accurately display the condition of the battery and the alkaline battery cannot be charged. The 80611 sealed lead acid battery can be used in the alkaline version of the Quickdraw (Model 2403). The LED will properly display the battery condition. The 80611 sealed lead acid battery will power the alkaline version of the Quickdraw (Model 2403) for 30 minutes (±10%), but cannot be charged within the unit.

Canister Installation and Storage
STORING CANISTERS ON THE CHASSIS FOR SPACE SAVING PORTABILITY Locate the retention ring (1) at the side of the chassis. Reverse the position of the canister by pointing the catheter toward the device. Slide the body of the canister into the rails and the catheter tip through the retention ring. Push the canister toward the chassis until the canister latch (B) on top of the unit snaps into the detent on the canister. To release the canister, pull the canister latch up and slide the body of the canister out.
CANISTER INSTALLATION Slide the canister into the front rails of the chassis with the catheter pointing forward. Push the canister back to meet the vacuum barb of the pump (A) at the front of the chassis. The top of the canister will slide under the latch (B) that extends from the top of the chassis. When the canister is securely placed against the vacuum barb of the pump, the latch will SNAP into the grooved ridge on top of the canister. Full vacuum is only possible when the latch SNAPS into place and holds the canister against the “O” ring surrounding the vacuum barb to form an airtight fit. IN ORDER TO USE THE DEVICE, BE SURE THE PLASTIC TIP COVER IS NOT COVERING THE TIP OF THE CATHETER. When the procedure is finished, attach the plastic tip cover to the tip of the catheter. CAUTION: Once fluids enter the canister, do not point the tip of the catheter upward. When the canister capacity limit of 300cc/ml is exceeded or when a canister containing liquid is held up side down or vertically with the catheter pointed upward, the airflow will be shut off when liquids contact the hydrophobic filter (See Figures 3 & 4, 5). ONCE THE FILTER COMES INTO CONTACT WITH FLUIDS, THE UNIT WILL NOT SUCTION UNTIL A NEW CANISTER IS INSTALLED. CHANGE CANISTER IMMEDIATELY AFTER MOISTURE SHUTS DOWN THE UNIT.

Operating Instructions Models 2400, 2401 and 2402 Figure 3
WEEKLY INSPECTION: Establish a weekly checklist to assure performance of the equipment. Perform the following steps: A. Confirm the sealed lead acid battery is fully charged. If the unit is connected to a power source, the green full battery LED should be lit. B. Run the unit for 10 minutes. NOTE: Remove the unit from the charging source before running the unit and make sure the tip cover (6) is removed from the tip of the catheter and placed on the canister latch. C. If after 10 minutes the pump slows perceptibly or stops running, the battery has been subjected to irreparable damage. REPLACE THE BATTERY! If the pump is still running at full power after 10 minutes, turn the unit off and re-connect it to the power source. SEALED LEAD ACID BATTERY CHARGING RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended to keep the battery connected to the charging source at all times when the unit is not in use. A DC power cable powers the device from the vehicle battery and charges the Quickdraw battery. A 115V AC/DC power converter will charge the battery. The 80521-100 and 80522-100 AC power converters only charge the Quickdraw battery, they will not run the pump. The Quickdraw must be disconnected from the converter to operate. The 80529 charger sold separately with some international units will charge the batteries and run the Quickdraw suction device from an AC power source. To charge the Quickdraw from the vehicle’s DC electrical system, hard wire the DC power cable to a properly fused DC vehicle circuit (in front of the master switch) or plug the cord into the cigarette lighter adapter. Connect the DC power cable to the Quickdraw by securely attaching the charging plug (1.1A) into the receptacle (1A). This charging method is designed to keep the battery charged at all times. If the suction unit is operated while it is hooked up to the vehicle it will utilize the vehicle power and save its own battery for emergency use. All SSCOR, Inc. suction units have a diode to prevent draw-down from the pump to the vehicle electrical system and a fuse to protect the pump from vehicle electrical surges. Do not connect your suction unit to an automatic load switch power supply. BATTERY CHARGING VERIFICATION Once the unit is connected to the charging source, check the LED indicators (2). Significance of LED Indicators (2) on the Chassis When the unit is first plugged into a power source, the yellow LED will blink while the PC Board confirms the battery has not been shorted. The LED will stop blinking and remain on while the battery is charging. If the yellow LED does not stop blinking, check to be sure a battery is in the battery compartment. If a battery is installed in the unit, check to be sure the contacts on the battery are positioned properly to line up with the contacts on the chassis. If the LED still does not stop blinking, you may have a bad battery. It may be time to replace the battery. When the battery has reached a full charge, the green LED will light. When the Quickdraw is running and there is approximately one-third battery life remaining, the red LED will light. When the battery is virtually depleted and only a few minutes run time remain, the red LED will begin blinking. In order to protect the battery from deep discharge condition, the PC Board will automatically turn the device off when there is not enough power to effectively run the device. Put the device back on charge or install a fully charged battery into the Quickdraw suction device.

WEEKLY INSPECTION: Establish a weekly checklist to assure performance of the equipment. Perform the following steps: A. Turn the Quickdraw on and run the unit for 30 seconds. B. Observe the battery condition indicator LED (2). If it lights red, it is time to replace the battery (SSCOR part # 80613-100). Dispose of the battery according to local / regional / national requirements for the disposal of hazardous waste. SIGNIFICANCE OF LED INDICATOR ON CHASSIS When the Quickdraw is running and there is approximately one-quarter battery life remaining, the red LED (2) will light. Install a new fully charged alkaline battery (SSCOR part #80613-100) into the Quickdraw suction device. When the battery is virtually depleted and only a few minutes run time remain, the red LED will begin to blink. The PC Board will automatically turn the device off when there is not enough power to effectively run the device.
