10.3.1 Vacuum Line Assembly
How to Inspect the Vacuum Line Assembly
1. Once a week, visually inspect the tubing for any fluid or moisture.
2. Visually inspect the white side of the in-line hydrophobic filter for any discoloration.
3. If the tubing is wet or the filter is discolored, replace the vacuum line assembly.
How to Replace the Vacuum Line Assembly
1. Power off the system.
2. Locate the white lock collar where the vacuum line assembly attaches to the console.
3. Lift up the vacuum line assembly approximately 3 mm (1/8 inch) to expose a gap
between the white collar and the base of the black barb.
4. Hold down the white collar and pull the vacuum line assembly up and out of the
connector. Discard as biohazardous waste.
5. Press a new vacuum line assembly into the vacuum line assembly connector.
6. Pull up to check that the new vacuum line assembly is locked into the connector. The
vacuum line assembly will have a small amount of vertical movement but should not
pull free of the connector.
Note
Do not twist the vacuum line assembly as you pull up.
7. Power on the system.
8. Plug the vacuum inlet line using your thumb or finger.
9. Press the Test button on the console.
