How To ADjUST THE vACUUm lEvEl
1. Once power source is selected, turn the unit on by pressing the "On" button. The GREEN light,
indicating external power, will remain lit when external power is connected.
2. Occlude (block) the patient end of the tubing, then adjust vacuum level from 50 to 550 mmHg
by turning the vacuum regulator knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease
the vacuum (FIG 4). Release and occlude once more to confirm setting. The desired level of
vacuum can be viewed on the LED display.
NOTE
– The LEDs have two brightness levels. As the vacuum level is adjusted, the LEDs will
illuminate in progression. When an LED is at half brightness, it indicates that the
vacuum level is halfway between the previous fully lit LED and the half brightness
LED. EXAMPLE: If the 150 mmHg LED is fully illuminated and the 200 mmHg LED is
at half brightness, the suction level is 175 mmHg. When the 200 mmHg LED
illuminates at full brightness, the unit has reached 200 mmHg.
3. Connect suction tip or catheter as appropriate.
NOTE
– If the unit does not maintain vacuum, refer to Troubleshooting.
NOTE
– Suction ceases if liquid level reaches float shut-off valve located on underside of
canister lid.
CAUTION– Further suctioning may cause damage to the vacuum pump and voids
warranty. Equipment service is required if fluid content is aspirated back
into the unit.

bATTERy CHARGInG

The VacuAide Compact series is equipped with a factory-installed high capacity rechargeable battery.
Connect battery and charge before first use (refer to Battery Replacement).
1. Connect the unit to either an AC or DC power source.
2. The green external power light should illuminate; the yellow charge indicator will remain lit
while the battery is charging.
3. Ensure that the yellow charging light is illuminated when charging begins. As the battery nears a
full charge, the yellow battery charging light may flash for several minutes. This is normal. If your
unit does not hold a charge, check that the yellow light turns on when external power is applied
with the power button "Off." If problems persist, contact your medical equipment provider.
NOTE
– A fully discharged battery will require up to 5 hours (depending on depth of
discharge) of charging to reach full capacity.
If unit is not in use for extended periods, the battery should be recharged a minimum of every 6
months. A fully charged battery will provide approximately 45-60 minutes of continuous operation at
zero vacuum level (free flow).
CAUTION– Completely discharging the battery will shorten the battery life. Do not
operate the unit for more than a few minutes if the low battery indicator light
is lit. Recharge the battery as soon as possible.
