Recommended Action
1. Remove any unused suction canister
"elbow" connectors.
2. Reseat all connections.
Close any open ports on the suction canister.
Refer to the canister manufacturer's
instructions for connecting the canister.
1. Disconnect the contamination guard fitting
from the suction canister tubing. If you
feel no suction at the end of the
contamination guard fitting, the guard is
blocked.
2. Replace the contamination guard.
Remove the contamination guard and put a
finger in the suction system port. If you feel no
suction, call Integra for assistance.
Check the Lap mode indicator.
• If Lap mode is off, in Run mode the pinch
valve should be open.
• If Lap mode is on, in Run mode the pinch
valve should be open only when you
activate vibration.
If these conditions do not exist, call Integra for
assistance.
Press the Status button to switch the system
to Run mode.
