7 Device test
The Device test is a user initiated test program
for all models which can identify whether the
LSU operates satisfactorily or if the LSU needs
service.
The program runs 4 different tests:
1 It tests for occlusions in the Suction System
(including canister and tubing).
2 It tests the vacuum build-up efficacy of the
Pump System (How much vacuum is built up
within 3 seconds).
3 It tests the maximum achievable vacuum
level of the LSU (reaches this level within 10
seconds).
4 It tests if there are air leakages in the Pump
System (including canister and tubing).
7.1 Setup
Before the test can be performed make sure that:
• The Patient Suction Tubing is unwound and
not blocked or bent.
• The Suction Catheter Adapter is removed
from its holder (if applicable).
• The canister lid, T-bar, angled connector and
tubing are securely fastened.
