Setup and Operation of Collection System Quick Fit™ Canister System (3000cc's) 1. Place canister in the canister bracket of the ELITE™ on the right side of the unit. 2. Insert a Quick Fit liner into the canister and secure the lid.
Sorenson™ Canister System (1900cc's) 1. Place the Sorensen Adapter into the canister bracket of the ELITE™ on the right side of the unit. Next place the canister into the slot of the adapter. 2. Insert a Sorenson liner into the canister and secure the lid.

Precaution: Before starting any suction procedure, let the ELITE™ go to full vacuum when switched on. During operation, if the ELITE™ is momentarily turned off, let the vacuum gauge indicator return to “0” before restarting the machine. Air must fill the vacuum lines before all the pumps will start again.
Troubleshooting - Infusion Infusion Pump Head The black lever on each side of the pump head can be pressed inward, allowing it to slide up or down to adjust to tubing size. Sliding button upward loosens pump head grip on the infusion tubing. Tubing will have a tendency to “walk”, or bunch-up, in the pump head if the buttons are adjusted too high.
No scheduled maintenance is recommended. Follow the procedures established by your engineering department. Warnings are part of the labeling and are indicated on the ELITE™. The serial number is stamped on a small metal tag, located on the back of the unit. Record the serial number.
