Important
The 800 ml Canister has an internal Filter in the Lid. The Canister is disposable and cannot be cleaned. The Filter
automatically stops suction/flow when the Canister is full, or the Filter becomes saturated if the unit tips onto its side during
use.
Caution
Always use the 800 ml Canister supplied by Laerdal, which has an internal Filter. Never connect any type of Patient Tubing
directly to the LCSU 4 Vacuum Inlet Port Connection. Overflow of suctioned material into the LCSU 4 pump will result in
loss of suction and permanent damage to the unit. In the event of overflow, do not use the LCSU 4. Contact Laerdal Medical
or your authorized distributor.

and Maintenance, see Chapter 6.
