4. Check the airflow
A. Connect tubing from the patient port of the canister to a calibrated airflow meter. Ensure the regulator
gauge is adjusted to the high setting (fully turned clockwise) and turn the device on.
The reading on the
calibrated airflow meter should be above 30 LPM.
B. If the device does not produce 30 LPM check to ensure all tubing connections are tight, the canister lid is
securely fastened to the canister and all the port covers on the canister lid are secure.
C. If your device does not produce at least 30 LPM airflow check the airflow before the canister, at the union
barb fitting at the top of the device (3). The airflow at the union barb fitting should be at least 48 LPM.
D. If the tubing from the device to the canister is clamped to the device (4), remove the tubing from the
patient port of the canister and take the reading at the distal end of the tubing (5). The airflow at the
distal end of the tubing should be at least 48 LPM.
E. If the device still does not meet the airflow specification, call SSCOR technical support (1

After these tests are complete, plug the device in to charge before releasing the device back to the floor. The
battery condition LED on the control panel should light green when the device is plugged in and the battery is
fully charged.
