10 Amico Patient Care Corporation
NOTE: Amico Patient Care Corporation highly recommends replacing the Disposable Body to ensure
it is completely clean.
NOTE: If the Amber BATT LED does not come on right away when TEST button is pressed, change
the batteries.
CAUTION: Ethylene Oxide is not recommended as a sterilant. Sterilization using an ethylene
mixture may cause small surface cracks to some of the plastic parts that may not be readily
apparent to the user.
CAUTION: Do not steam autoclave, immerse in liquid or gas sterilize Vacuum Regulators.
This may damage the unit.
CAUTION: If the Vacuum Regulator becomes contaminated internally, replace the
Disposable Body and follow your facility's procedures for handling contaminated products.
CAUTION: Avoid getting the Sensor Assembly wet. The Sensor Assembly is not waterproof
and might get damaged.

the atmosphere in order to dry internal parts.
