Important notes
IX
In the application area of medical suction devices, the vacuum is normally quoted as the diffe-
rence (in absolute figures) between the absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure or as
negative values in kilopascals (kPa). The indication, e.g. of -10 kPa, in this document therefore
always refers to a pressure level in kPa below the ambient atmospheric pressure.
Rechargeable battery: charge the battery before use. (See Battery operation – page 8)
