Cleaning
Cautions
• Disconnect the LCSU 4 from external power prior to
cleaning.
• Use a minimum of liquid to prevent any electrical shock
hazard. Do not immerse the LCSU 4, or allow it to stand
in water or other liquids. This can damage the device and/
or cause electrical shocks resulting in injury to persons.
Warning
Do not pump any cleaning solution or other liquids
through the vacuum pump, i.e. through the Vacuum
Connector. This can damage the LCSU 4.
Main Cabinet
1
Disconnect from external power supply.
2 Clean Cabinet surfaces by carefully wiping with a soft cloth
or sponge with mild detergent. Use hand dishwashing liquid
or similar that is compatible with the Material Chart (see
Chapter 10).
3 Dry all surfaces using a clean cloth or paper towel.
Canisters and Patient Tubes
Dispose after use.
Important
The Canisters and Patient Tubes are all disposable items.
Do not attempt to clean or reuse these. Due to the risk
of cross contamination, all disposable items must be
replaced after each use. They are for single-patient use
only.

Wash by immersing and scrubbing in liquid detergent and
water solution.

contamination is an issue, it is recommended that the Filter is
replaced after each use.
Carry Bags
Wipe Bags according to instructions provided above for Main
Cabinet. Do not launder.
Device Test
After each reassembly, and before returning a LCSU 4 to
operational use, the Device Test should be performed:
1 Start the test with a fully charged Battery
2 Turn the unit “ON”
3 Block the Patient Tube
4 Set Suction Vacuum level to 550 mmHg
5 Unblock and then Block the Patient Tube again.
6 Result: Unit should return to 550 mmHg setting.
7 Repeat procedure for 300 mmHg and 50 mmHg settings.
Cautions
Do not attempt to use any LCSU 4 that has not passed
the above test. If the LCSU 4 unit does not test
satisfactorily, recheck all parts of the assembly and test
once again. If necessary, contact Laerdal Medical or one
of its authorized distributor.
