Adjust the Arm Tension and Resistance:
Prior to positioning, adjust the Arm Tension Adjustment Knobs. Twist clockwise firmly until the Suction
Tube Arms may be moved, but will remain in place when released. This will allow you to adjust the
position of the arms without having to release tension. The Tension Knobs may require occasional
tightening to maintain the proper resistance.
To Adjust the Height and Location of
the Shield Above the Patient:
Follow the steps below to properly position the Shield above the
patient.
1. While supporting the Lower Suction Tube arm,
slide the Shield back from the home position by your headwall
towards the patient’s feet (fig.7.1 - fig. 7.2).
2. Tilt Lower Suction Tube Arm down 30̊ - 45̊, until it is
approximately one foot above the patient's level (fig.7.3).
3. To complete final positioning, move to the patient's head
(fig.7.4).
Place a hand on each side of the Manifold and carefully
articulate the Shield into a 20̊ angle, in line with the patient and
8"-10" above the oral cavity.
To avoid damage or unintended Shield
removal, do not attempt to adjust the
position by grasping the Shield itself.
Handle only by the Manifold.
