LSU DfU 8179rev B.qxd8/12/0511:24 AMSide 83.3 Canister SystemsThe LSU can be delivered with a Reusable or aDisposable Canister System as described below.Both Canisters have a corresponding sizedCanister Holder.3.3.1 LSU Reusable Canister SystemPatient Suction TubingCanisterPATIENT InletVACUUM Inlet.Canister Lid w/Float BallGasketAngled ConnectorSuction Catheter AdapterVacuum sealThe LSU Reusable Canister System consists of:- A 1000 ml transparent plastic Canister.- A Canister Lid w/Float Ball that preventsoverflow if the Canister is full or the LSUtips over.- An Aerosol Filter with tubing that protectsthe LSU by preventing aerosols from enteringthe Pump Unit.*The Canister Lid contains a Float Ball that shutsoff the vacuum if the canister is full or the LSUtips over.To reset the valve, remove the AngledConnector from the VACUUM Inlet.The LSU Reusable Canister System mustnot be used without the Aerosol Filteror the Float Ball.It is recommended always to have extra AerosolFilters with the LSU in case one has to bediscarded.Aerosol FilterDecontamination must be performed in accordance with section 6.4.For the Aerosol Filter the instructions belowmust be followed:- The Aerosol Filter is not designed fordecontamination.- It is recommended that the Aerosol Filter bereplaced after each use or at least once everyshift. If the LSU is used on patients or in areaswhere cross contamination is not an issue, theAerosol Filter should be replaced at leastonce a month.- If the Aerosol Filter becomes wet, it shouldbe replaced immediately or as soon aspossible after use.*The Aersol Filter is not intended for microbiological or for particle filtration.8

Allow to dry.Steam autoclavingAutoclave atmax. 121 C20 minutesAllow parts to cool.6.5 Charge the BatteryThe internal rechargeable Lead-Acid battery canbe charged directly from external AC or DCpower as described in section 3.4. No externalcharger is needed.To charge the battery, proceedas follows:1. Make sure the Operating Knob is set to "0".Connect either external AC or DC power tothe LSU and charging will start automatically.2. During charging the Battery Status Indicatorwill indicate approx. achieved battery capacity(see section 3.2.2.5 for details).3. The LSU must be placed on charge for aminimum of 24 hours to reach full batterycapacity.The fast charging gives approx.80% capacity after 3 hours(for a new battery).Repetitive charging for only 3 hours isnot recommended.Note:- To maintain satisfactory operation of the battery,it is recommended to place the LSU oncontinuous charge immediately after use.- It is recommended to always fully charge thebattery. Repetitive charging to a lower capacitylevel will reduce battery life.- If it is not possible to place the LSU oncontinuous charge when not in use, make surethe battery is charged for a minimum of24 hours at least once a month.Rinse all parts in clean,warm water. Allow to dry.- Do not store the battery when it is discharged.Always fully charge the battery before storage.- The recommended ambient temperature forcharging is from 15 C to 25 C.- The battery will not be charged when the LSUis in operation.- If no battery is installed, the battery statusindicator will be fully lit for approx. 5 sec. untilit is turned off.6.5.1 External Battery ChargeThe LSU battery can also be chargedin an optional External Battery Charger.See section 8.6.6 Check the Battery QualityIf poor battery quality isLED 4suspected, charge the batteryLED 3for a minimum of 24 hours andLED 2then perform the following testLED 1without connection to externalpower:- Run the Device Test and then let the LSUoperate continuously at 500 mmHg settingand free air flow for 20 minutes.- If the LSU stops before completing the20 minutes, the battery should be discarded.17

LSU DfU 8179rev B.qxd8/12/0511:25 AM6.7 Replace the BatteryNote:Use only batteries recommended by Laerdal.Side 187 Device testThe Device test is user initiated test program forall models which can identify whether the LSUoperates satisfactorily or if the LSU needsservice.1. Open the Battery Door.2. To remove the battery, push and move itslightly to the left and then release.3. Withdraw the battery from the LSU.*4. To insert a battery, push it fully in and thento the right to lock it.5. Close the Battery Door.6. After inserting the battery, place the LSU oncharge unless a fully charged batteryis inserted.The program runs 4 different tests:1 It tests for occlusions in the Suction System(including canister and tubing)2 It tests the vacuum build-up efficacy of thePump System (How much vacuum is built upwithin 3 seconds)3 It tests the maximum achievable vacuum levelof the LSU (reaches this level within10 seconds)4 It tests if there are air leakages in the PumpSystem (including canister and tubing)*When you discard the battery, dispose of safely inaccordance with local protocols for sealed lead acidbatteries.7.1 SetupBefore the test can be performedmake sure that:- The Patient Suction Tubing is unwound andnot blocked or bent- The Suction Catheter Adapter is removedfrom its holder (if applicable)- The canister lid,T-bar, angled connectorand tubing are securely fastened.Fasteningbrackets6.8 Fastening bracketsThe fastening bracket is used to hold the LSU inthe optional wall bracket.
