3. Rotate the suction control knob until the vacuum gauge
indicates the required setting.
WARNING ⚠
The regulator MUST be occluded when setting the prescribed suction level so
that the patient does not receive higher than required suction.
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.
All tests must be performed with supply vacuum of 450 mmHg (60.0 kPa) minimum.
1. Turn the mode selector switch to O (Off).
2. Rotate the suction control knob one full turn clockwise (increase).
3. Clamp tubing to occlude the fitting port. The gauge needle should not move.
4. With the tubing still clamped, turn the mode selector switch to | (On).
5. The gauge needle should not move.
6. Rotate the suction control knob fully anti-clockwise (decrease).
7. With the tubing still clamped, increase the suction to 300 mmHg (40.0 kPa). (For the standard model,
increase the suction to 100 mmHg [13.3 kPa]).
8. Slowly open and close the clamped tubing to create various flow rates through the regulator. Ensure
that the suction level is maintained when the tubing is clamped.
9. Reduce the suction to zero and set the mode selector switch to O (Off).
