4/Operation

4.1 Equipment Set-up

w WARNING: Always connect the regulator to the vacuum source and check its operation before attaching the patient connection. w WARNING: Connection to positive pressure sources such as oxygen and medical air, even momentarily could injure the patient or operator.

w CAUTION: Connection to positive pressure sources such as oxygen and medical air, even momentarily could damage the equipment.

If the regulator is equipped with an adapter/probe for wall outlets, insert the adapter/probe into the vacuum wall outlet. If the regulator is mounted elsewhere, connect a vacuum supply hose between the regulator’s adapter/ probe port and the wall outlet. Connect the collection canister or liner’s vacuum port to the regulator’s fitting or overflow safety trap with the appropriate vacuum tubing.

Note: For proper installation of adapters/probes and fittings see appendix (Appendix A-1).

For standard ISU operation, mount the collection canister or liner above the patient.

Connect the collection canister or liner’s vacuum port to the regulator’s fitting port or overflow safety trap with the appropriate suction filter and vacuum tubing.

Hospital supplied suction tubing must be used between the catheter and the collection canister or liner. The recommended minimum inside diameter is 0.25 in (6 mm). Select tubing that is collapse and kink resistant.

An Ohio Medical high flow filter and overflow safety trap should be used between the collection canister or liner and the vacuum regulator to prevent contamination of the regulator, wall outlet and pipeline system.

ISO 10079-3 (section 5.1.2) states that “the usable volume of the collection container shall be not less than 500 mL.
