1 LCSU 4 Overview

Important Information
This User Guide covers two main versions of LCSU 4; one configured with 800 ml Canister, and one with 300 ml Canister. Both
versions can be purchased with or without RTCA compliance. Unless otherwise specified, the information in these User Guides
applies to all versions.

Note
Inspect all parts when unpacking. If there are signs of damage or parts are missing - immediately notify the seller. Do not
attempt to use the LCSU 4 if parts are damaged or missing.

2 Description and Intended Use

Intended Use
The LCSU 4 is a portable, electrically powered, medical suction device intended for field and transport use. It is intended for
intermittent operation to remove secretions, blood or vomit from a patient’s airway to allow ventilation. Higher vacuum levels are
generally selected for oropharyngeal suction, and lower vacuum levels are usually selected for tracheal suctioning and the suctioning
of children and infants.

Notes
• Do not use this unit until you have carefully read and fully understood these User Guides. Contact Laerdal Medical or its
authorized distributor for additional information if required.
• Use only Laerdal accessories supplied directly by Laerdal Medical or one of its authorized distributors to ensure that the
LCSU 4 operates satisfactorily.
• When using the LCSU 4 at home, take care to keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not store the LCSU 4 next to a
heater.

Cautions and Warnings

Cautions
• Only use canisters, tubes and accessories that are approved for the device by Laerdal Medical.
• The LCSU 4 is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable liquids or gases; danger of explosion or fire.
• Do not use the LCSU 4 under environmental conditions that are outside ranges specified. This can endanger safety and
adversely affect device operation.
• Ingress of suctioned material into the pump can damage and/or disable the device. If suctioning of liquid from the Canister or
patient into the pump is suspected, do not use the LCSU 4. Contact Laerdal Medical or your authorized distributor for advice.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Laerdal Medical could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
• Federal law (USA) restricts the LCSU 4 to sale by or on the order of a physician or other licensed medical authority.

Warnings
• Follow local protocols for back-up suction devices.
• Do not repeatedly block the patient tube for more than 10 seconds at a time at vacuum levels greater than 300 mmHg.
• The LCSU 4 should only be used by persons trained in the use of medical suction equipment, and according to local protocol.
• Unauthorized service attempts, opening or tampering with the LCSU 4 or its electrical components can damage or disable the
device, and will void the Limited Warranty.
• Cat. No. 880052/880062 are approved according to RTCA/DO-160G Section 21 Category M but limited to battery operation
use only. Use of the AC/DC Adapter charger (Cat. No. 886111) or DC Power cord (Cat. No. 884500) for charging or operation
inside an aircraft must be avoided.
• Cat. No. 880051/880061 are not approved for use in aircrafts.
• Not intended for use in MRI environments.
• Disconnect the LCSU 4 from external power prior to cleaning.
• Consumables are single patient use only. Do not re-use. Re-use will lead to increased risk of cross-contamination, degradation
of performance and/or device malfunction. Laerdal is not responsible for any consequences of re-use.

Limited Warranty
The LCSU 4 comes with a two (2) year limited warranty, excluding the Canisters, Tubing systems and Battery. Refer to the
Laerdal Global Warranty for terms and conditions. For more information visit www.laerdal.com. The Battery is warranted for 90
days. Laerdal does not provide Service Parts for this product. Excluding the internal Battery, there are no user-serviceable/user-
replaceable parts inside the LCSU 4 Main Unit.

Canister.

Note
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 if the LSCU 4 tips over.

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.

Operation with High Efficiency Filter Kit

IN
To increase filtration efficiency the Vacuum Tube may be replaced with a High Efficiency Filter Kit
(Cat. No. 886116). OUT
Ensure Filter IN points towards the WHITE connector, and OUT towards the BLUE. For Cleaning
and Maintenance, see Chapter 6.

Assemble 300 ml Version

1 Push the upper port connection into the Vacuum Inlet and check that the lower part of the Canister clicks in place.
2 Connect the Patient Port onto Patient Tube
3 Connect the Patient Port onto the Canister. Ensure that all connections are secure to prevent leakage.

Notes
• The 300 ml Canister is sealed, with an internal Filter. 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.
• The 300 ml Canister (Cat. No. 886100) can also be used with the previous model LCSU 3. However, the LCSU 4 cannot be used
with LCSU 3 Canisters.
• To improve the upright stability, a Wire Stand (Cat. No 886115) is offered as an Optional Accessory. This adds both a handle
and a foot to the unit.

Electromagnetic Conformity
LCSU 4 is intended for use in the following environments: Professional Healthcare Facility environment, Home Healthcare
environment and Emergency Medical Services environment.

Essential performance of the LCSU 4 is identified as connection of the patient hose to the exhaust outlet. This is prevented by
coding of the outlet. EMC disturbances cannot affect this behavior.

No particular actions are required to maintain safety and performance with regard to electromagnetic disturbances for the expected
service life.

Warnings
• Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper
