Patient and Operating Room Safety
1-6 RapidVac™ Smoke Evacuator User’s Guide
If the smoke evacuator is activated while the airflow is set to a high speed, it may
produce a sudden, strong suction action. Check the airflow setting before
activating the smoke evacuator to prevent patient injury and to prevent suction of
surgical materials and surgical specimens.
Caution
Do not stack equipment on top of the smoke evacuator or place the smoke
evacuator on top of electrical equipment. These configurations are unstable and/
or do not allow for adequate cooling.
Use only Valleylab SEA3700 Filters in the RapidVac Smoke Evacuator. Filters
from other manufacturers may cause damage to the system, thereby voiding the
warranty.
Provide as much distance as possible between the smoke evacuator and other
electronic equipment (such as monitors). An activated smoke evacuator may
cause interference with them.
Read all warnings, cautions, and instructions provided with the RapidVac Smoke
Evacuator before using.
To maximize patient safety, the tubing or wand should not come in direct contact
with tissue. Otherwise, patient injury may result.
Do not block either the tubing or the filter. If either becomes occluded or
significantly restricted, the motor/blower may overheat and cause the unit to shut
down.
Care must be exercised in the installation of hoses, adapters and suction
canisters. Failure to follow the procedures outlined in this manual may result in
overheating of the motor and may void the unit warranty.
Notice
Using any unapproved filter or accessory with the smoke evacuator may cause
damage and will void the warranty.
The RapidVac Smoke Evacuator functions properly only when the ULPA filter is
correctly installed. If the filter is installed incorrectly, the amber Replace Filter
indicator flashes and the Service Required indicator is illuminated.
Fluids may damage the filters. When evacuating smoke and incidental fluids,
always use the appropriate tubing,
Connect the power cord to a wall receptacle having the correct voltage.
Otherwise, product damage will result.
Power line voltage below 100 VAC (110V SEA3690) and 200 VAC (220V
SEA3695) will significantly reduce airflow.
Connecting multiple lengths of tubing together may cause the smoke evacuator
to overheat.
