Inspection of the inlet seal (OF- B190)
Warning

Inlet seals are consumables. Using a damaged and /or worn inlet seal may result in lowered
suction function and potential reflux or dispersal of patient’s body fluids, posing a risk of
infection to the user.
1. Check the slit in the cap of the inlet seal (OF - B190) and the hole of the body of the inlet seal for
any abnormalities such as cracks, wear, chipping, and attachment or presence of foreign materials.
Check that the light does not shine through the slit of the cap.
