The ISU and Pediatric ISU are vacuum regulators that provide either intermittent or continuous suction. They are used for NG (intermittent) or pharyngeal/tracheal (continuous) suctioning throughout the hospital. The Pediatric ISU has a maximum vacuum limit of 135 mmHg (18.0 kPa), which can be adjusted between 80 and 150 mmHg (10.7 and 20.0 kPa).

7. Assemble screw, washer, and black plastic cam on suction control knob.

8. Assemble cover onto unit. See Section 7.2.2

Assembly, Step 13.

9. Reset vacuum limit. See Section 8.10 Vacuum

Limit Adjustment - Pediatric ISU ONLY.

w WARNING: If the vacuum regulator is repaired or disassembled in any manner, the service checkout procedure (Section

8 Service Checkout Procedure) must be performed before using the equipment on the patient.

Important: This entire procedure must be performed in numerical order.

8.1 Set-up

1. Verify that a minimum of 500 mmHg (66.7 kPa) vacuum exists at the supply vacuum gauge.

2. The supply open flow must be 50 LPM minimum.

8/Service Checkout Procedure

8.2 Leak Test - Supply Side

1. Connect the supply vacuum tubing to port “A” of the bubble leak tester.

2. Connect port “B” of the bubble leak tester to the regulator adapter/probe port.

3. Set the supply vacuum to 500 mmHg ± 10 mmHg

(66.7 kPa ± 1.3 kPa) on the supply vacuum gauge.

4. Turn the mode selector knob to O (OFF). Allow the fitting port to be open to air.

5. Wait 5 seconds.

6. No more than 5 bubbles should appear in the bubble leak tester for the next 10 seconds.

Important: Prior to venting Port “A” of the bubble leak tester to atmosphere (i.e., turning the supply regulator off) ensure the tubing from Port “B” has been disconnected from the adapter/probe port of the vacuum regulator.

Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the difference between the ISU and the Pediatric ISU?
The Pediatric ISU has a limited vacuum setting and a low gauge for use with infants and small children.
How do I adjust the suction level?
Turn the mode selector knob to | (CONT) and rotate the suction control knob until the vacuum gauge indicates the required setting.
How do I adjust the timing cycles?
The timing cycles can be adjusted using the timing valves. The adjustment procedures are outlined in Section 8.6 Timing Cycle Adjustment of this manual.
What is the pre-use checkout procedure?
The pre-use checkout procedure must be performed before using the ISU on each patient. It involves testing the regulator for correct operation, including checking the gauge reading, suction level, and timing cycles.
How do I clean and sterilize the ISU?
The ISU can be cleaned with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. The only acceptable method of sterilization is with gas (ethylene oxide). Do not steam autoclave or liquid sterilize the ISU.
