System Controls 

The electronic system controls on the CONMED 

AER DEFENSE™ Smoke Evacuator are easy to 

understand and simple to use. The control panel 

contains the Suction Level Control buttons, 

Laparoscopic Mode button, Continuous Mode 

button, CONMED ESU Automatic Mode button, 

Footswitch Mode button, and filter life indicator. 

See Figure 2.1.1. 

Note: Please be sure to read all instructions before 

installing accessories or operating this equipment. 

Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit 

and/or personal injury.  

• 

Power ON/OFF: The power button that 

completely disables the electrical power to 

the AER DEFENSE™ unit is located on 

the control panel. To power up the smoke 

evacuator, depress the power button down 

until the indicators on the control panel 

illuminate. Turn the unit main power off by 

depressing down on the power button until 

the lights on the control panel turn off.  This 

power button does not control the power of 

the attached ESU.  See Figure 2.1.1

• 

Suction Level Control: The amount of 

suction may be adjusted by pressing the up or 

down arrows on the control panel. Press the 

up arrow to increase suction. Press the down 

arrow to decrease suction. The suction control 

should be set to the lowest setting that 

completely removes surgical smoke from the 

operative site. Pressing the up or down arrow 

buttons will increase or decrease the amount 

of suction in 10% increments respectively. See 

Figure 2.1.1

• 

Normal ESU Activation Mode:  This is 

the default activation mode.  The unit will 

run in this default mode when none of 

the available specialty modes have been 

selected and illuminated on the control panel 

(Laparoscopic, Continuous, Automatic or 

Footswitch).  While in Normal Mode, the 

AER DEFENSE™ Smoke Evacuator will 

initiate suction upon activation from an ESU.  

See Figure 2.1.1

• 

Laparoscopic Suction Mode: This specialty 

suction mode button on the control panel 

has been designed to provide a low flow 

range suction control to be used in minimally 

invasive procedures in order to maintain 

pneumoperitoneum.  Laparoscopic mode 

can be controlled by Normal, CONMED 

ESU Automatic, Footswitch or Continuous 

activation modes.  See Figure 2.1.1

• 

Continuous Activation Mode:  This specialty 

mode button on the control panel will run 

the AER DEFENSE™ Smoke Evacuator 

at the selected power level continuously 

until the mode has been deselected, another 

mode is selected or the unit is powered off.  

Continuous activation mode can be run while 

in Normal or Laparoscopic Modes.  See 

Figure 2.1.1

• 

CONMED ESU Automatic Mode:  This 

specialty activation mode button on the 

control panel will initiate suction upon 

activation from a CONMED System 5000 or 

System 2450 ESU.  The AER DEFENSE™ 

Smoke Evacuator will also employ automatic 

adjustments of the flow level based on the 

ESU power usage.  See Figure 2.1.1

• 

Footswitch Activation Mode:  This specialty 

mode button on the control panel will initiate 

suction upon activation of the footswitch 

only.  The unit may be turned on or off by 

depressing the footswitch pedal once to 

turn the suction on and again to turn it off.   

When Footswitch mode is selected, the unit 

will not initiate suction with ESU activation.  

See Figure 2.1.1

• 

Filter Life Indicator: The filter life indicator 

on the control panel provides a visual 

Operation
