      If the red CHECK LED is flashing on your Amico Sentinel Controller, it could be due to contamination or debris on the sensor window. You can try replacing the disposable body kit, including the sensor window, and then reset and calibrate the system. Alternatively, clean or replace the sensor window itself before resetting and calibrating the system.

      If the Amico Controller's FULL mode isn't showing full vacuum, check if the bottom port is open or if the vacuum supply is low. Try occluding the bottom port. If the full vacuum remains low, verify the hospital's vacuum level.
