General Description SSCOR suction units are designed for hospital crash carts, patient transport and emergency medical service. The battery should be charged to a dependable working charge in 6 to 8 hours when connected to the charging source. 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. The EVX is a portable, 12V DC battery operated suction device for resuscitation emergencies in prehospital care. The battery is recharged by direct connection to the vehicle, or an optional SSCOR fixed voltage charger (Model 2309 only). A fully charged battery at full capacity will power the unit for 30 - 45 minutes.
Warranty SSCOR warrants that each new product is free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one year from 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

Getting Acquainted
Running the unit from DC power 1. Disconnect the power cord (1) and press the ON/OFF switch (5) on the control panel to start the vacuum pump. Adjusting the vacuum level • Occlude the patient tube and turn the vacuum regulator (7) 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. Battery Charging from AC Power using AC-DC Charger: The optional Fixed Voltage Charger will not run the pump. If battery charging from AC power is required, connect the SSCOR AC-DC charger (1) to an AC outlet. The charger connects to the unit through the receptacle (1A) on the front panel. DC Battery Charging from Vehicle Connect the DC power cord to the cigarette lighter receptacle in the vehicle or hard wire the DC power cord to the DC electrical system of the vehicle on a properly fused line in front of the master switch. Connect the electrical line cord to the suction unit by securely attaching the charging plug (1.1A) into the receptacle (1A). This charging method is designed to keep the battery charging 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 suction units have a diode to prevent drawdown from the pump to the vehicle electrical system and a fuse to protect the pump from vehicle electrical surges. If your suction unit is wired to the vehicle battery via an automatic load switch power supply, be sure to use a filter in order to eliminate any voltage spikes. Battery Charging Verification Once the unit is connected to the charging source, check the control panel (2). The “power source connected” LED (4), when lit, shows a good connection and indicates the battery is charging. Charging the Battery Using the 8310 Charging / Retention Bracket (Model 2309BV Only): Hard wire the Model 8310 Charging / Retention Bracket to the hot DC circuit (in front of the master switch). Make certain the circuit is properly fused according to appropriate vehicle standards. The vehicle electrical system will furnish power to both run the pump and charge the battery. See page 10 for additional information.

Battery Test Run the following test whenever poor battery quality is suspected to ensure proper performance of the device 1. Check the power source connected LED on the control panel (4) is lit and charge the device overnight to ensure the battery is fully charged. 2. Remove the power cord and run the unit from its internal DC battery. 3. Check for vacuum by occluding the patient tube and set the vacuum regulator (7) to the maximum vacuum setting. 4. Observe the regulator gauge (8). The vacuum reading should rise to -300mmHg from zero in less than 3 seconds. It should max out at ≥ -525mmHg. Un-occlude the patient tubing. 5. Allow the unit to run for 15 minutes on DC power. If the unit stops or slows during the 15 minutes, it is possible the battery capacity has been depleted. It is time to replace the battery. 6. If the unit is still running at full power after 15 minutes, adjust the regulator to the desired setting, turn the device off and put it back on charge. SSCOR recommends replacement of the battery after 3 years.

Troubleshooting Preventive Care: Observe the following maintenance routine to ensure readiness at any time: 1. When the SSCOR aspirator is not in use, keep batteries on continuous charge. 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. If the procedure produced an excessive quantity of fluids, check the vacuum line (1) for evidence of moisture. If the vacuum line between the pump and canister is moist, it is possible that fluids have reached the vacuum pump. See Disinfection Instructions (page 9). 5. If the vacuum pump appears defective, return the unit to the factory for repair. Do not attempt to repair the vacuum pump. 6. For technical assistance, call (800) 434-5211 or international +1 (818) 504-4054. NOTE: No part requires lubrication and lubricants should not be used.

Maintenance 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 the exterior of the SSCOR suction unit using a mild detergent and clear water by dampening a clean lint free cloth. Rinse using clear water and another damp clean lint free cloth to remove any detergent residue. NOTE: The hydrophobic filter in the canister helps to ensure that no moisture or particulate matter reaches the inside of the device. When fluids fill the canister, the positive (mechanical float) shutoff valve closes immediately, shutting the vacuum port off so as to prevent fluid from contacting the pump. The filter has been tested by the manufacturer (Bemis) to screen out aerosolized microorganisms and particulate matter at a bacterial efficiency rating of 99.99% DOP. The canister also has sidewall gradation marks starting at 100 ml/cc and at every 50 ml/cc up to 1200 ml/cc indicating the fill level of the canister. In the unlikely event that fluids may have reached the vacuum pump, read the disinfection section. Your engineering department will have to open the unit to check the condition of the pump. 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. Part
