Set-Up and Operation

The operation of the ViroVac™ 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 Remote Activation Device or Footswitch plug into appro-
prate jack on rear or side of machine. Route footswitch or EZ Link 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. Pressing the suction ON/OFF switch on the membrane panel,
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 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. Pressing the suction ON/OFF switch on the membrane panel,
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 Scale FLASHES RED (0% Life Re-
maining). Failure to change the filter will affect the performance of the system.
