8.2 Flow Test. Ohio Medical Push-To-Set Continuous Vacuum Regulator
Below you will find brief information for Vacuum Regulator Push-To-Set Continuous Vacuum Regulator. The Push-To-Set Continuous Vacuum Regulator 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.

8/Sercice Checkout Procedure
8.6 Bleed Test 8.3.1 High Vacuum Gauges ONLY
gauge with tubing.
2. Turn the mode selector switch to I (On).
3. Assure that the gauge is in agreement with the high vacuum calibration gauge within the ±38 mmHg (5 kPa) tolerance. Recommended test points are 100, 300, and
500mm Hg.
mm Hg (14 kPa).
2. Turn the selector switch to O (Off) and observe the gauge needle. It must return to the zero range bracket or stop pin within 10 seconds.
8.7 Leak Test - Supply Side
8.3.2 Standard and Low Vacuum Gauges ONLY
gauge with tubing.
2. Turn the mode selector switch to I (On).
3. Assure that the gauge is in agreement with the low vacuum calibration gauge within the ±10 mmHg (1.3 kPa) or the ±8 mmHg (1.1 kPa) tolerance for standard and low gauges respectively. Recommended test points are 40, 80, and 140 mmHg.
4. For the Standard Gauge ONLY: Rotate the suction control knob fully clockwise (increase) and verify its reading is in the FULL VAC range.
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 port.
3. Turn the mode selector switch to O (Off). Allow the fi tting port to be open to air.
4. Wait 20 seconds. No More than 6 bubbles should appear in the next ten 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 port of the vacuum regulator.
8.4 Regulation Test 8.8 Leak Test - Patient Side
1. Disconnect the calibration gauge and occlude the fi tting port.
2. If using a High Vacuum Regulator, set its gauge to 300 mmHg (40 kPa). If using a Low or Standard Vacuum
Regulator, set its gauge to 100 mmHg/14 kPa.
3. Open and close the fi tting port several times.
the setting listed in step 2 within a tolerance of:
±38 mmHg (5 kPa) for high vacuum gauge or
±10 mmHg (1.3 kPa) for the standard vacuum gauges or
±8mmHg (1.1 kPa) for the low vacuum gauge.
1. Connect the supply vacuum tubing to the regulator adapter port.
2. Connect the regulator fi tting port to port “A” of the Bubble
Leak Tester with tubing. Allow port “B” of the Bubble
Leak Tester to be open to air.
3. Rotate the suction control knob a minimum of one full turn clockwise (increase). No bubbles should appear in the next ten seconds.
4. Rotate the suction control knob fully counterclockwise
(decrease).
5. Turn the mode selector switch to I (On). No bubbles should appear in the next ten seconds.
8.5 Low Vacuum Regulators ONLY
2. Rotate the suction control knob fully clockwise (increase).
3. Verify that the suction delivered does not exceed 150 mm Hg (20 kPa) or the maximum suction requested by the clinician.
Note: For setting the Suction level limit, refer to Suction
Level Limit Setting-Low Models ONLY.
