Important Information

This User Guide covers two configurations of the LSU: Reusable and Serres Suction Bag 

System. Unless otherwise specified, the information in this User Guide applies to both 

configurations. 

Read this User Guide carefully, and become thoroughly familiar with the operation and 

maintenance of the LSU before using it. Read all Cautions and Warnings before using  

the LSU. 

 Warnings and Cautions 

A Warning states a condition, hazard, or unsafe practice that can result in serious personal 

injury or death.

A Caution states a condition, hazard, or unsafe practice that can result in minor personal 

injury or damage to the product.

 Warnings

•  The LSU is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable liquids or gases; there can be 

a danger of explosion or fire.

•  Not intended for use in MRI environments.
•  Do not use the LSU under environmental conditions that are outside the ranges specified in 

Specifications section. This can endanger safety and adversely affect operation of the device.

•  Do not block the Exhaust Outlet during use.  This will lead to reduced flow and can also 

cause damage to the LSU.

•  The LSU Reusable must not be used without the Aerosol Filter or the Float Ball.
•  Disconnect the LSU from external power prior to cleaning. Use a minimum amount of liquid 

to prevent any electrical shock hazard.

•  Do not immerse the LSU or allow it to stand in water or other liquids. This might damage 

the device, and cause electrical hazard.

 Cautions

•  Do not pump any cleaning solution or other liquids through the vacuum pump, i.e. through 

the Vacuum Connector. This can damage the LSU.

•  Use only parts and accessories supplied by Laerdal Medical or one of our authorised 

distributors to ensure that the LSU operates satisfactorily.

•  Overflow of suctioned material can damage the device. If overflow of liquid from the 

Canister into the pump is suspected, contact your local Laerdal Medical representative. 

•  The LSU should only be used by persons trained in the use of medical suction equipment.
