Weinmann closing lever / venting tab for MANUVAC in detail
To enable direct suction through the thick hose (2nd stage), the red venting tab should always be open. You can increase the suction by closing the vent channel with your index finger and regulating it by opening and closing it.
If the thick suction tube (2nd stage) gets stuck on the patient's gums or mucous membranes, you can open the vent channel in the secretion cap by lifting your index finger or the red vent tab. This immediately interrupts the suction and releases the suction tube. Meanwhile, you can continue to pump by hand, foot or knee without any problems.
If the secretion cap is held downwards, the overflow protection blocks the connection to the suction pump. In such a case, hold the secretion cap up again and interrupt the suction process for a few seconds by opening the red venting tab on the secretion cap until the ball lock falls back.
