6.2 Performing the functional check
1. Check that all tubes and the individual parts of the
disposable collection canister
are in perfect con-
dition. Any damaged or worn parts must be re-
placed.
2. Check that all tubes are securely connected and
the disposable collection bag
is firmly installed.
3. Switch on ACCUVAC Basic.
4. Check the charge level on the voltage indicator
Always recharge the power pack without delay if
the yellow LED on the voltage indicator lights up
(see “4.4 Charging ACCUVAC Basic” on
page 16).
5. Insert the stopper in the fingertip.
6. Use your thumb to hold the suction nozzle closed.
7. Switch on the aspirator and select the maximum
vacuum of –0.8 bar by turning vacuum control
fully to the right. ACCUVAC Basic must reach this
vacuum in not more than 20 seconds.
If the aspirator takes more than 20 seconds to
reach this vacuum, its suction capacity is reduced.
Check for possible faults (see “7. Troubleshooting”
on page 26).
8. Switch ACCUVAC Basic off again.
