το

O

PRIOR

TO

INITIAL

USE

Upon receiving

your

new

Il,

perform

the

following

initial

tests

to

ensure

that your

unit

is

in

good

working

order and that no damage

has

occurred

during

shipment.

1.

Visually

inspect

all

components

for

physical

damage

that

may

have

occurred

during

shipment.

Plug

the

power cord into a 120V

AC

wall

outlet.

Depress

the

“POWER?”

Occlude

the

vacuum

on

the

Instavac

by placing your finger over the patient port of the

collection canister and adjust the vacuum

level

by

turning

the

vacuum

regulator

knob.

Verify that

the

vacuum

gauge

reflects

a

change

in

vacuum

level

while

turning

the

regulator

knob. Also verify that you feel vacuum

at

your

finger

tip.

Depress

“POWER”

switch

to

turn

machine OFF. Unplug the power

the

Instavac

Il

will

use

any

collection

device.

if

you

are

not

using

the Aeros 1200cc disposable collection canister,

make sure that the collection

device

that

is

being used is equipped with a

safety

overflow

mechanism

to

protect

the

pump

from

accidental

overflow.

Ensure that you have ihe appropriate

collection

device,
