Page 5: Important Information
• Do not block the Exhaust Outlet during use. This will lead to reduced flow and can also cause damage to the LSU. • The LSU Reusable must not be used without the Aerosol Filter or the Float Ball. • Disconnect the LSU from external power prior to cleaning. Use a minimum amount of liquid to prevent any electrical shock hazard. - Page 6 Battery Cautions • Only use batteries approved by Laerdal Medical. Other batteries will have problems related to the battery status indicator of the LSU, the battery operation time and safety. • The LSU must be charged between each clinical use.
