Run the following test whenever poor battery quality is suspected to ensure proper performance of the
device
1. Check that the power source connected LED on the control panel (3) and the green battery condition LED
are lit.
2. Remove the power cord and run the unit from its internal DC battery.
3. Check for vacuum by occluding the patient tube and set the vacuum regulator (7) to the maximum vacuum
setting.
4. Observe the regulator gauge (8). The vacuum reading should rise to
-
300mmHg from zero in less than 3
seconds. It should max out at
≥
-
525mmHg. Un
-
occlude the patient tubing.
5. Allow the unit to run for 15 minutes on DC power. If the unit stops or slows during the 15 minutes, or if the
battery condition indicators (4) begin to blink, it is possible the battery capacity has been depleted. It is
time to replace the battery.
6. If the unit is still running at full power after 15 minutes, adjust the regulator to the desired setting, turn the
device off and put it back on charge.
SSCOR recommends replacement of the battery after 3 years. Replacement battery may be purchased at
