Condensate Removal
Check the condensate bottle with every use and empty whenever it becomes full. This
can be done while pumping. Follow handling procedures for biohazardous waste
removal.
1. Open the helium compartment to find the condensate bottle (behind the He tank in
the recess).
2. Lift the black locking handle to the left of the He tank, then pull the bottom of the
He canister toward you.
3. Pull out the bottle (keeping it upright) and unscrew the cap (Follow bio-hazardous
material handling procedures for your hospital).
4. Empty the bottle.
5. Screw on the cap, replace the bottle and close the compartment.
6. Insure drain bottle tubing is not kinked.
