2.3 Set-Up and Operation
The operation of the Turbo Auto-Sense™ Smoke Evacuation System is as follows:
1. Install the ViroSafe® Filter.
2. Attach unit power cord to the receptacle on the rear of the system. Plug the pronged power
cord into an appropriate grounded power outlet. Route power cord in such a way as to mini-
mize potential trip hazard by users or patients or pinch hazard that could cause electric shock.
3. Optional: Attach either EZ Link™ or Footswitch plug into approprate jack on rear or side of
machine. Route footswitch or cord in such a way as to minimize potential trip hazard by users
or patients or pinch hazard that could result in unreliable operation.
4. Ensure that the evacuation tubing is fully seated in the inlet of the filter. Route tubing in such a
way as to minimize potential trip hazard by users or patients.
5. Activate the power unit by:
a. Toggle the rocker switch on the rear of the unit to the ON position, or
b. Depressing and releasing the footswitch (if connected), or
c. Activating either CUT or COAG on the Electrosurgical Pencil (if EZ Link is connected).
6. Adjust the suction level to the desired setting by pressing the UP/DOWN arrow button while
the unit is activated. Noise created by the smoke excavation power unit may be minimized by
selecting the lowest vacuum setting that effectively clears the operative field of surgical smoke.
7. Deactivate the unit by:
a. Toggle the rocker switch on the rear of the unit to the OFF position, or
b. Depressing and releasing the footswitch (if connected), or
c. Releasing either the CUT or COAG button on the Electrosurgical Pencil (If EZ Link is
connected).
8. Replace the ViroSafe® Filter when the Filter Life Remaining indicator on the LCD Display
flashes REPLACE FILTER. Failure to change the filter will affect the performance of the sys-
tem.
