How Should The VacMaxi Phlegm Suction Pump Be Used?

My mom is a stroke patient and has been bedridden for 4 years. She is given feeding thru tube. Her health care taker used to clear the mucus by using suction machine. Recently, we have been in the transition of waiting for a new health care taker. At the mean time, could you please tell me how I can clean my mom s mucus by using a suction machine called Vacmaxi? Thanks a lot in advance.
