Regulator

Note: For proper installation of Adapters/Probes and Fittings see Appendix.

Connect the collection bottle’s vacuum port to the regulator’s fi tting port or Overfl ow Safety Trap with the appropriate suction fi lter and vacuum tubing.

An Ohio Medical High Flow Suction Filter should be used between the collection container and regulator to prevent contamination of the regulator.

Use hospital-supplied suction tubing between the end piece and the collection container, and between the patient port and the patient (minimum inside diameter is 6 mm [0.25 in.]).

ISO 10079-3 (BS 7259: Part 2, section 5.1.2) states that “the usable volume of the collection container shall not be less than 500 ml.”

4.2 Attaching the Overfl ow Protection Device

(OPD)

CAUTION: To help prevent aspirate from entering the regulator, wall outlet and pipeline system as a result of misuse, an Overfl ow Safety Trap should be attached prior to its use. Aspirate in the regulator, wall outlet and pipeline system may impair their operation. The use of the Overfl ow Safety Trap and suction fi lter will help prevent this and extend the life of suction equipment.

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.
How do I sterilize the Push-To-Set Continuous Vacuum Regulator?
The only acceptable method of sterilization is with gas (ethylene oxide). Follow the sterilization instructions provided in the manual carefully.
