-Insert the bag and apply the cover to an appropriately sized reusable rigid container by pressing firmly around the entire
perimeter. Make sure that the system is completely sealed.
-close the connector marked as “TANDEM” with the lid provided.
-Connect the power source of the vacuum to the VACUUM port equipped with specific reusable conical fitting with "male"
connection.
-Connect the patient tube to the PATIENT port of the cover
-Before use, check all closures and make sure there are no leaks, starting the aspiration source. If the bag expands to fully
adhere to the walls of the rigid container and the cover bends towards the inside of the glass, the system is not leaking.
-Start the aspiration and periodically check the filling level of the container. The overflow valve will cause the interruption of
aspiration if the aspirated fluids have reached the maximum filling level of the device.
-When the float valve intervenes signalling the device is too full, the suction source must be disconnected within no more than
5 minutes.
Warning: The accidental inversion of connections may cause contamination for the operator and/or for the vacuum
generation equipment.
