3.1 Description
WARNING Do not use this device in the presence of fl ammable anesthetics. Static charges may not dissipate and a possible explosion hazard exists in the presence of these agents.
In the regulated (limited) mode, the vacuum source is connected through the regulator module which functions as an automatic valve. Turning the suction control knob adjusts the position of the regulator module and allows selection of a predetermined level of suction when set according to instructions.
The PTS-CVR is a lightweight, compact unit used throughout the hospital primarily for pharyngeal/tracheal suctioning
(airway management). Various models provide regulated or full-line vacuum for hospital suction procedures.
During use, as the fl ow requirement increases, the valve automatically opens to maintain suction at the preset level.
Conversely, when the fl ow requirement decreases, the valve automatically closes to maintain suction at the preset level.
The same mechanism compensates for changes in supply vacuum and automatically maintains the pre-set suction level when set according to instructions.
There are several models of the PTS-CVR. All models contain a vacuum gauge which indicates suction supplied by the regulator. Each has a positive pressure safety relief valve to prevent pressurization by either failed injector vacuum (venturi) units or inadvertent cross connection to pressurized gasses. In addition, the Low PTS-CVR models include a vacuum relief valve to limit maximum suction.
1. Suction Control Knob - Allows easy adjustment of suction to the patient.
2. Mode Selector Switch - Allows quick and easy mode changes.
a. | (On) - Suction can be adjusted with the suction
Some models operate in a regulated or non-regulated (MAX) mode. Others operate only in the regulated (limited) mode.
In the non-regulated (MAX) mode, the vacuum source is connected directly to the fi tting port. The regulator module is bypassed and full-line vacuum is provided.
b. O (Off) - No suction is supplied to the patient.
c. MAX - Maximum full-line vacuum is supplied to the
patient.
3. Vacuum Gauge - The suction level to the patient is displayed during use.
