For Silhouette and Vacuum and Bag Tee:
(Refer to item (#) in parts list Figure 1)
1. Existing Bag Tee assembly: Detach the 3 L
bag from the bottom of the bag tee (#16).
2. Fit the Silhouette Cap to the Bag (bottom)
port and the Adapter to the 22mm port.
3. The Circuit design has Disposable and
Reusable sections (connected to flowmeter
and vacuum source). Use Silhouette
Reusable SIL-CONN-KIT Connector Kit.
Attach smaller ID hose end to flowmeter
Adapter. Attach larger ID hose end to AVS
or other vacuum source.
4. Attach Vacuum Hoses (#15): Refer to Figure 1.
5. Automatic Vacuum Switch : Attach one end of the
Reusable vacuum hose (#15) to the Union of the
Silhouette Disposable Circuit (diameter indexed)
and the other end to the MASK port (labeled on
body) of the AVS (#1). Attach a second vacuum
hose (#15) to the VAC port (labeled on body) of
the AVS (#1), then insert straight end of adapter
(#20) into the other end of the vacuum hose and
the tapered end of the adapter into the High
Volume Evacuation (HVE) Line.
6. Vacuum Control Block : Attach one end of the
Reusable vacuum hose (#9) to the Union of the
Silhouette Disposable Circuit (diameter indexed)
and the other end to the vacuum control block (#2).
The vacuum control block can then be
inserted directly into the High Volume
Evacuation (HVE) Line; or may be placed “in
line” by cutting the vacuum hose and
attaching the cut ends of the tubing to both
ends of the vacuum control block. NOTE: To
properly read vacuum levels, the vacuum
control block must be held upright with the
on/off switch above the control valve.
