Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the purpose of the Push-To-Set Continuous Vacuum Regulator?

The Push-To-Set Continuous Vacuum Regulator is used to provide suction for various medical procedures, primarily for pharyngeal/tracheal suctioning (airway management).

How do I set the suction level on the Push-To-Set Continuous Vacuum Regulator?

To set the suction level, turn the mode selector switch to "I" (On) and rotate the suction control knob until the vacuum gauge indicates the desired setting.

What is the difference between the regulated and non-regulated modes on the Push-To-Set Continuous Vacuum Regulator?

In the non-regulated (MAX) mode, the vacuum source is connected directly to the fitting port, providing full-line vacuum. In the regulated mode, the vacuum source is connected through the regulator module, which functions as an automatic valve to control the suction level.

How do I clean the Push-To-Set Continuous Vacuum Regulator?

Routine cleaning is recommended after each use. Wipe all exterior surfaces with a solution of water and mild detergent. If the regulator becomes flooded with patient fluid, all internal components (except the gauge) can be cleaned with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Dry all components thoroughly before assembly.
