General Warning; Basic Safety Rules - Gima SUPERVEGA EVO Bedienungsanleitung

17
SUPERVEGA EVO is a desk-type electric suction unit for the aspiration of body liquids (such as mucus ,
phlegm and blood), oral, nasal and tracheal aspiration in adults or children. Its shape, elegantly narrow, is
motly designed for fitting into ambulance care and emergency use.
This device has been designed to offer ease of transport and continuous use, thanks to an electronic system
that manages the power supply. The large LCD display facilitates the use of the device and increases suction
by adjusting the control buttons.
The signal on the LCD screen, placed on the front panel, allows you to monitor the charge status of the
Lithium battery. The lithium battery and the innovative Feedback system, which guarantees a smart use by
automatically controlling and adjusting the suction power, allow the battery to increase its autonomy and
decrease the noise produced.
The "PROXIMITY" function allows the device to be activated/deactivated via an infra-red proximity sensor
(detecting the presence of the hand from a distance of tenths of centimetres without touching the suction
unit) and it prevents and avoids possible crosscontamination between patients as they are treated in turns.
Made of highly heat resistant, electrically insulated plastic material in conformity with the latest European
safety standard, the product is supplied with a complete polycarbonate autoclavable jar with overflow valve.
