Set-Up and Operation
The operation of the SHE SHA Smoke Evacuation System is as follows:
1. Install the filter.
2. Attach unit power cord to the receptacle on the rear of the system. Plug the pronged power
cord into an appropriate grounded power outlet. Route power cord in such a way as to
minimize potential trip hazard by users or patients or pinch hazard that could cause electric
shock.
3. Attach either remote switch activator in the jack on the rear side of the unit and place the
monopolar cables to the clip of the remote switch, or attach the foot switch cable into the
appropriate socket on the front panel. Route foot switch or remote switch cord in such a way as
to minimize potential trip hazard by users or patients or pinch hazard that could result in
unreliable operation.
4. Ensure that the evacuation tubing is fully seated in the inlet of the filter. Route tubing in such a
way as to minimize potential trip hazard by users or patients.
5. Activate the power unit by:
a. Pressing the suction ON/OFF switch on the membrane panel,
b. Depressing and releasing the foot switch (if connected), or
c. Activating either CUT or COAG on the electrosurgical pencil (if the remote switch is
connected).
6. Adjust the suction level to the desired setting by pressing the speed select button while the unit
is activated. Noise created by the smoke excavation power unit may be minimizedby selecting
the lowest vacuum setting that effectively clears the operative field of surgical smoke.
7. Deactivate the unit by:
a. Pressing the suction ON/OFF switch on the membrane panel,
b. Depressing and releasing the foot switch (if connected), or
c. Releasing either the CUT or COAG button on the electrosurgical pencil (if the remote switch
is connected).
8. Replace the filter when the Filter Life Indicator LED flashes red (0% Life Remaining). Failure to
change the filter will affect the performance of the system.
