Actions
1. Determine if the Tongue bulb
leaks by trying another
Tongue Bulb.
2. Determine if there is a leak
where the Connecting Tube
connects to the Pressure Port.
Put some soap bubbles around
the seam between the Pressure
Port and the end of the attached
Connecting Tube. Apply a squeeze
to a Tongue Bulb and look for
soap bubbles that get larger or
move around.
3. While leaks inside the IOPI®
device are unlikely, if steps 1 and
2 have been tried and the cause
of the leak has not been detected,
then please contact IOPI® Medical
LLC
or your local distributor as soon
as possible.
See steps above to determine the
source of the air leak.
Contact IOPI® Medical LLC or
your local distributor as soon
as possible.
Perform an Accuracy Check
(see page 16). If the pressure
reading is not within specifications,
contact IOPI® Medical LLC or your
local distributor as soon as possible.
