WARNING ⚠ When using a disposable collection system, the
atmospheric vent at the top of the suction control chamber
must be occluded for proper suction regulation with the
Thoracic regulator.
Important: Once the atmospheric vent is occluded, the Thoracic regulator controls
vacuum level regardless of the presence or amount of water in the suction control
chamber.
4. Set the prescribed suction level.
WARNING ⚠ The patient port of the regulator must be occluded when
setting the prescribed suction level so that the patient does
not receive higher than required suction levels.
Important: Add 2 cm water seal amount from the level set on the regulator gauge
to determine the total suction level applied to the patient.
WARNING ⚠ Continuing to rotate the suction control knob past the point
where the relief valve opens may result in suction levels
higher than the preset relief pressure.
5. Turn the mode selector switch to O (Off).
