internal components. If service is required, return unit to a qualified Drive Medical provider or an

Filter Changing: 

1. Change bacteria filter if overflow occurs or every two months, whichever comes first. 

2. Remove filter by disconnecting it from suction unit and lid assembly. 

3. Replace with a clean Drive bacteria filter (non-sterile) (10/pack) and remount to suction unit 

and lid. Additional filters may be purchased from your authorized Drive Medical provider.

Do not substitute any other material for this bacteria filter. Substitution may lead to contamina-

tion or poor performance; use only Drive filters.
