Periodic Inspection
3-2 RapidVac™ Smoke Evacuator User’s Guide
Periodic Inspection
The RapidVac Smoke Evacuator should be visually inspected at least every year.
This inspection should include checks for:
• Damage to the power cord.
• Damage to the power plug.
• Tightness of the power plug.
• Proper mating, cleanliness and absence of damage to the filter inlet.
• Obvious external or internal damage to the system.
Initial Installation
To prepare the RapidVac Smoke Evacuator for use, you must verify that the filter
is installed, connect the appropriate tubing, and check the performance of the
smoke evacuator indicators and controls.
1. Inspect the power cord for any signs of visible damage. If it is in good
condition, plug the power cord into a grounded wall receptacle.
2. Insert a RapidVac SEA3700 filter into the square opening on the right side of
the smoke evacuator. Slide the filter into place until it is fully seated and the
locking mechanism clicks into place.
3. Turn on power to the smoke evacuator by pressing the on switch ( l ) located
on the front panel.
Notice
Stacking the smoke evacuator on top of a generator may cause an unstable
condition and/or cause the smoke evacuator to overheat.
Warning
Connect the smoke evacuator power cord to a properly grounded, hospital grade
receptacle of the correct voltage. Plug the power cord directly into the power
receptacle without any extension cords and/or adapter plugs.
