Performing an Intra or Post Blood Collection Procedure
1. Ensure the module is powered on (the on/off switch located on the rear panel of the vacuum
module must be switched on).
2. Check the status of the Intra and Post mode button LEDs. To perform an Intra procedure, press
the Intra button. To perform a Post procedure, press the Post button. Verify that the LED next to
the desired mode button is on (
).
3. Set the target set point to the desired value using the vacuum level set point buttons (“+” to
increase the value; “-” to decrease the value). Hold down the button to quickly change the set
point. The current set point is shown on the LCD display.
4. Once the set point has been adjusted, start the pump by pressing the vacuum pump On/Off
button (
). The green vacuum status LED will turn on, and the pump will engage and work to
reach the level of aspiration indicated by the set point.
Note: While the pump is running, it is possible to adjust the set point as described in step 3. It is
not, however, possible to change the aspiration mode (i.e. switching from Intra to Post mode).
5. To end the blood collection procedure, press the vacuum pump On/Off button a second time. The
green vacuum status LED will turn off, and aspiration pressure will quickly fall down to 0 mmHg.
