1.4.2 CAUTIONS:
• Federal law (United States of America) restricts this device to be used by, or on the order of a
physician.
• Do not block either the tubing or the filter. If either becomes occluded or significantly
restricted, the motor/blower may overheat and cause the unit to fail.
• Using any other filter or accessory not supplied by CONMED may cause damage and/
or cause the system to be inoperable and may void the warranty.
• Care must be exercised in the installation of hoses, adapters and suction canisters. Failure to
follow the procedures outlined in this manual may result in overheating of the motor and may
void the unit warranty.
• This device is not intended for evacuation of fluid. If fluid is expected to be aspirated to the
ClearView™ Filter, fluid collection devices must be installed with the vacuum hose assembly.
Failure to install a fluid collection device could cause filter blockage and electrical damage.
• The Filter should be changed according to the life of the filter. The Filter, used with the
ClearView™ Smoke Evacuation System(s), should not be used for more the time specified for
each filter. Failure to change the filter may result in decreased efficiency and contamination of
the electric motor, vacuum pump, and sound absorbing media within the unit.
• Do not block either the tubing or the filter during operation. An occlusion or significant
restriction may cause the motor to overheat and the unit to stop working.
• The installation of this equipment must be performed such that the intake and exhaust vents
located on the bottom of the system are not obstructed. Failure to properly install the unit may
cause reduced performance, damage and/or cause the system to be inoperable and may void
the warranty.
