E 341 Battery is a mobile, portable, mains operated medical device for the
temporary application on adults, children and babies. The device is operated with an
electronically controlled, maintenance-free diaphragm pump.
The pump can be optionally operated by rechargeable battery or via an external DC
voltage source (12 V).
During operation the pump generates a vacuum within the hose system and collection

read the operating status even after dark.
An overtemperature stop prevents overheating of the batteries.

Disposable suction canister:
The disposable secretion canister is comprised of an outer canister, disposable suction
bag, vacuum hose and the disposable suction hose.

of the canister is connected to the suction connection of the device. The secretion is
transported to the disposable suction bag via the suction hose. The disposable suction
bag is a single use product. As soon as the disposable suction bag is full it is removed
from the outer canister and disposed of. The disposable suction bag and the disposable
suction hose must not be reused.
