Pre-Use Checkout Procedure/Patient Set-up

Pre-Use Checkout Procedure

WARNING The Pre-Use Checkout Procedure must be performed before using the equipment on
each patient. If the regulator fails any part of the Pre-Use Checkout Procedure, it must
be removed from service and repaired by qualified service personnel.
Important: All tests must be performed with supply vacuum of 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg) minimum.
Note: Pediatric/Neonatal/C.A.S.S. models Only: Rotate suction control knob fully clockwise (increase)
to verify that the suction level does not exceed 135 mmHg ± 5 mmHg (18.0 kPa ± 0.7 kPa) on the
pediatric model or 100 mmHg ± 5 mmHg (13.3 kPa ± 0.7 kPa) on the neonatal model or 140 mmHg ±
5 mmHg (18.7 kPa ± 0.7 kPa) on the C.A.S.S. model. When maximum vacuum is reached, the safety
relief valve will emit an audible pulse.
1. Move the mode selector switch to O (OFF).
2. Push and rotate the suction control knob one full turn clockwise (increase).
3. Release the suction control knob. The gauge needle should not move (reading should remain at zero on
units with a digital gauge).
4. Move the mode selector switch to | (ON). The gauge should indicate vacuum.
5. Push and fully rotate the suction control knob counter-clockwise (decrease) until it stops.
6. Release the suction control knob. The gauge needle should move to zero and remain there. (Readout
should be zero on the digital gauge.)
7. Set the unit to the appropriate vacuum level. Slowly release and push the suction control knob to create
various flow rates through the regulator. Check that the suction level is maintained when the knob is fully
pushed in.
• For analog units, the gauge should return to ± 10 mmHg (± 1.3 kPa) for the standard model, ± 8 mmHg
(± 1.1 kPa) for the PED/NEO/C.A.S.S. models, and ± 38 mmHg (± 5.1 kPa) for the high model.
• For digital units, the gauge should return to ± 2 mmHg (± 0.3 kPa) for the standard/PED/C.A.S.S.
models, ± 1 mmHg (± 0.1 kPa) for the NEO model, and ± 8 mmHg (± 1.0 kPa) for the high model.
8. Move the mode selector knob to MAX on three mode units.
9. Push the suction control knob and check the gauge to ensure maximum suction is applied.
10. Release the suction control knob.
11. Push the suction control knob and reduce the suction to zero. Set the mode selector to O (OFF).

Patient Set-up

1. Make sure the Pre-Use Checkout Procedure has been
performed.
2. Move the mode selector switch to | (ON).
3. Set the prescribed suction level by pushing and turning the
suction control knob.
CAUTION: The suction control knob must be completely
pushed in to adjust the vacuum level. Failure to do so may
damage the vacuum regulator.
4. Move the mode selector switch to O (OFF).
5. Attach tubing from the vacuum regulator to the vacuum port
of the collection container.
6. Move the mode selector switch to | (ON).
