1.
When applicable, check the canister to determine if the
expiration date has passed. If the expiration date has
passed, replace the canister.
2. Test the health of the battery:
A. Plug the device in to charge for at least 8 hours before testing. The battery condition LED on the control
panel should light green when the device is plugged in and the battery is fully charged.
B. To begin the test, make sure the tubing from the device to the canister is connected to the canister (1)
and the canister lid is secure (2). Unplug the device from the external power source and turn the device
on.
C. Allow the device to run un

occluded. The device should run for at least 42 minutes if the battery has full
capacity. If the battery does not run for at least 42 minutes, consider replacing the battery
(SSCOR Part # 80635). Replacement battery may be purchased at shop.sscor.com.
D. At the end of the run test, turn the device off and reconnect the device to the charging source.

3. Determine if the gauge is properly calibrated.
After the battery has been fully charged (when the battery condition LED on the control panel is green),
connect tubing from the patient port of the canister to a calibrated negative pressure test gauge. Adjust the
vacuum pressure of the suction device so the gauge on the calibrated negative pressure test gauge reads
150mmHg and read the corresponding reading on the suction device gauge. The gauge on the suction device
should be 1/
-
19mmHg or between 131mmHg –
169mmHg.
If your gauge is out of calibration, you may need a new gauge (SSCOR Part #22006) or a new regulator and
gauge assembly (SSCOR Part #22012
-
KIT2314).
