Ohio Medical Amvex Rx Only Manual De Operación Y Mantenimiento página 4

Operating Instructions
ATTENTION:
The operating and storage temperature for the regulator should reflect typical environmental
conditions of a medical facility environment.
WARNING:
DO NOT change, alter or modify the intended use of the product.
NOTE: Performance may vary in relation to the source vacuum pressure levels. The device will
continue to perform as intended across a very broad range of vacuum levels, however, some
characteristics particularly the intermittent timing, will vary with significant difference from
500 mmHg (66.7 kPa) used for factory setup.
Equipment Setup:
Depending on the desired location of the regulator, connect the vacuum adapter directly into the wall outlet, or
connect one end of an Amvex vacuum hose assembly onto the supply port of the suction regulator and the other end
onto the vacuum source (i.e. wall outlet).
Use ¼" suction tubing, between the patient and patient port of the collection canister, as well as between the
outlet port of the Vacuum Regulator and canister. A high flow suction filter and/or an overflow safety trap between
the regulator and the collection canister should be used to prevent occlusion or contamination of the regulator, wall
outlet or pipeline system.
NOTE: Product does not require disassembly or reassembly under normal use.
Selecting the Mode:
REG
OFF
INT
Please note: REG mode is only available on the 3 mode models
Battery Low Indicator (Digital Models Only):
NOTE: When a battery icon appears on the gauge it indicates that the battery is low. Please take the unit
out of service immediately and contact an Ohio Medical Customer Service Representative for battery
replacement. If the low battery condition is not addressed and the battery becomes fully depleted,
the gauge will not show any readout including the low battery icon or gauge pressure. If the gauge
were to go blank during suctioning, the unit will continue to suction and the intermittent feature will
continue to operate. Once completing that procedure, It is important to immediately take the unit out
of service and contact an Ohio Medical Customer Service Representative for battery replacement.
Procedures Prior to Use:
WARNING: The following tests are recommended prior to use on each patient. If the Vacuum Regulator does
not pass one or more of the following tests, it should be evaluated, repaired and/or replaced by a
qualified individual.
