<Patient>.
Turn the unit “on”.
If using AC or DC power, plug
the small connector into the
DC power input on the side of
unit.
Plug the other end into an AC
wall outlet or DC receptacle.
NOTE
– The AC adapter may
become warm to the touch
during charging or running of
the unit. This is normal.
Adjust the suction level.
Verify suction level.
NOTE
- Always verify suction
level before beginning by
occluding open end of patient
tubing while observing gauge.
Adjust knob to desired level.

WARNING
If the unit is not receiving power from an external source or the battery was not recharged, the low battery indicator light will remain
on and the performance of the unit will drop off rapidly. Switch to another power source immediately after the low battery light
appears to avoid an interrupted suction procedure.
NOTE
– The vacuum (negative) pressure should be set as directed by a physician or other appropriate health care professional. Published
expert consensus suggests the suction vacuum pressure should be set as low as possible to effectively clear secretions.
1
For tracheal and/or
endotracheal suctioning, a vacuum (negative) pressure of less than 100 mmHg in infants, less than 120 mmHg in children and less than 150
mmHg in adults has been recommended.
2
NOTE
– Gauge is for reference only. If the unit sustains a severe drop, accuracy of the gauge must be checked.
CAUTION
– When automatic float shut-off is activated, contents of the collection container should be emptied. Further suctioning could cause
damage to the vacuum pump.
CAUTION
– Should fluid be aspirated back into the unit, equipment provider servicing is necessary as possible vacuum pump damage may
result.
WARNING
This device is rated for intermittent operation use as noted in the specifications. Do not operate device with no flow (or suction port
blocked). Continuous operation under this condition may cause the unit to thermal shut off or damage the device.
