8 Functional checks
6. Functional checks
If the final check reveals defects or deviations from
the specified values, ACCUVAC Basic must not be
used again until the faults have been rectified.
We therefore recommend that you always keep a
stock of the following:
• Disposable collection bag 21 WM 10732
• Aspiration tube with
fingertip 19 WM 10733

To ensure that a properly functioning ACCUVAC Basic is always available, it is essential to observe the fol-
lowing intervals.
Before every use
• Perform a functional check (see ”6.2 Perform-
ing the functional check“ on page 8).
After every use
• Clean, disinfect and/or sterilize the unit and
its parts (see operating instructions ”5.

Every 3 months
• Check the charge level of the power pack 17
by switching on ACCUVAC Basic and read-
ing the voltage indicator 3. If the top LED of the
