General Description A battery pack containing 12 fully charged alkaline batteries at full capacity will power the device for approximately 6-9 hours. This run time is defined as the period of time the device generates more than 300mmHg negative pressure. This run time specification is based upon tests conducted using new Duracell® CopperTop batteries. Run times are affected by many variables which include the brand of battery, the age of the battery, and ambient temperature. The red LED on the control panel will light indicating the batteries are losing capacity and new batteries should be installed in the 12 X D battery holder. See page 5 for instructions on battery replacement. For replacement parts and accessories, please visit shop.sscor.com. The SSCOR DCell Suction device is designed for hospital crash carts, patient transport and emergency medical service. Suction power can be regulated when full power may be considered harmful to the patient. SSCOR suction units are designed to provide instant, effective suctioning, independent of external sources of power and can be pre-set to be activated immediately upon reaching the distressed patient. All controls are clearly labeled and easily accessible.
Warranty SSCOR warrants that each new product is free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years from the date of purchase. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For countries where minimum warranty terms are determined by statute, the warranty term is the longer of the statutory period or the term listed above. Batteries, disposable items including collection canisters, patient tubing and catheters are excluded from this warranty. See the SSCOR Warranty for terms and conditions, available on www.sscor.com.

Operating Instructions
Running the unit from the 12xD Cell Alkaline battery holder 1. Press the ON/OFF switch 1 on the control panel to start the vacuum pump.

4 1 3 2
Adjusting the vacuum level • Occlude the patient tube and turn the vacuum regulator 2 clockwise to the stop. • Observe gauge (located above the vacuum regulator). The vacuum reading should rise to 300mmHg from zero in 3 seconds. It should max out at approximately >= -525mmHg. Lower levels of negative pressure will be observed at altitude. 2. Press the on/off switch on the control panel to stop the vacuum pump.
WARNING: The tandem port on the canister is not an inlet port. Do not connect tubing to the tandem port of the canister. Battery Level of Charge Verification Once the unit is running from the internal battery pack, check the control panel and observe the battery voltage indicator to gauge the level of battery charge. The green LED when lit, indicates a high level of charge. WARNING: The red LED when lit, indicates the battery voltage is nearly depleted and the negative pressure level of the device will soon be below 300mmHg. Immediately install fresh batteries into the battery holder or connect device to an appropriate 12V DC power source. Replacing the 12xD Cell Batteries When the red Battery Voltage LED is lit indicating low battery voltage, the batteries in the 12xD Cell battery holder should be replaced with fresh D Cell Alkaline batteries. To access the battery holder, open the top of the chassis 5 exposing the battery holder: 1. Disconnect the Molex on the 12xD Cell battery holder from the wiring harness; 2. Lift the 12xD Cell battery holder out of the chassis, noting the orientation of the battery holder. The battery holder only fits in this orientation. Do not lift the battery holder by the exposed wires, use the fabric pull tab to lift the 12xD Cell battery holder out of the chassis. Replacement battery holder may be purchased at shop.sscor.com.

Operating Instructions (Continued) Remove the discharged batteries from the 12xD Cell battery holder and dispose of the batteries according to local / regional / national requirements for the disposal of alkaline batteries. Install 12 new fresh D Cell alkaline batteries into the 12xD Cell battery holder - being careful to assemble the batteries in the correct orientation as indicated on the battery holder. When the battery holder is loaded with 12 new D Cell alkaline batteries, set the 12xD Cell battery holder back into the chassis. The battery holder only fits in one orientation. Re-connect the Molex on the battery holder to the wiring harness. Turn the device on to verify the batteries are correctly installed and the battery holder is connected to the wiring harness. Observe the battery voltage indicator on the control panel. The green LED should be lit indicating the batteries have a high level of charge. Running the device using the #80665 DC power cord (Available for purchase on shop.sscor.com) Connect the DC power cord to the 12V DC cigarette lighter receptacle in the vehicle. Connect 3 the DC power cord to the suction unit by securely attaching the charging plug into the receptacle. 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. The DC power cord will not charge the 12xD Cell batteries when connected to the suction device. CAUTION: The #80529 power adapter will not charge the 12xD Cell batteries when connected to the suction device. If the 80529 power adapter is connected to the SSCOR DCell Suction device and the battery voltage indicator shows a red LED, the output from the power adapter is not sufficient to power the SSCOR DCell Suction device. The device is running from its internal batteries. The 80529 power adapter may be purchased at shop.sscor.com. WARNING: To avoid risk of shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth. The 80529 Power Adapter is for Indoor Use Only. WARNING: Periodic checking or replacement of “D” Cell Alkaline batteries is required. If for any reason poor battery quality is suspected, perform a battery test as described below. BATTERY TEST: Turn the SSCOR DCell Suction device on and run the unit for 30 seconds. Occlude the patient port of the canister and observe the negative pressure gauge. The negative pressure gauge should rise above 300mmHg in 3 seconds and reach 525mmHg. Observe the battery condition indicator LED 4 . If it lights red, it is time to install 12 fresh D Cell batteries into the SSCOR DCell Suction battery holder. Dispose of the batteries according to local /regional / national requirements for the disposal of electronic waste. Do not store batteries in the SSCOR DCell Suction device if it is not expected to be used for several months.

Maintenance Preventive Care Observe the following maintenance routine to ensure readiness at any time: 1. Do not store batteries in the SSCOR DCell Suction device if it is not expected to be used for several months. 2. Test the SSCOR aspirator at regular intervals; See page 6. 3. Make sure the SSCOR aspirator is always clean and ready for use. 4. The canister contains a float valve to prevent fluids from reaching the vacuum pump, however, if the procedure produced an excessive quantity of fluids, check the vacuum line (#) for evidence of moisture. If the vacuum line between the device and canister is moist, it is possible that fluids have reached the vacuum pumps. See Disinfection Instructions below. 5. For technical assistance, call +1 818-504-4054. Note: No part requires lubrication and lubricants should not be used. Sanitation As soon as possible after use, the single use disposable canister, patient tubing and catheter should be discarded according to local / regional / national requirements for the disposal of hazardous waste materials. Clean using a mild detergent and if necessary disinfect with a mild disinfectant such as 10 to 1 bleach and rinse using clear water to remove any residue. Do not reuse any single use disposable parts; do not submerge the device into any liquid, this will void the warranty and cause the device to malfunction. Disinfection Use personal protective equipment such as gloves, a smock, and face and eye protection when handling units that are suspected to be contaminated. Caution: Disconnect the unit from any power source prior to cleaning the unit. When cleaning the interior of the chassis, disconnect the battery from the PC Board to prevent damaging the PC Board.
