WARNING: Use caution when performing the following step. The
aspiration cannula of some tips is extremely delicate and handling
may damage the tip.
5. With the system's vacuum set at greater than 400mmHg, simulate
an occlusion of the aspiration port by blocking the port at the
tip with a gloved hand. Activate the vacuum and verify that the
vacuum level climbs to within 50 mmHg of the system setting.
Check for leaks or bubbles in the aspiration line while the vacuum
is active.
