battery fully charged. Always take the A.C. Power Adapter with you when you leave
home.
• Keep the CATALYST™ upright to avoid a false Canister Full alert.
• Keep the CATALYST™ turned on at all times unless there is bleeding from the wound
or instructed by your healthcare professional.

to do so by your healthcare professional.
