Frequently asked questions
What procedures does this continuous suction regulator support?
The Allied Healthcare Vacutron Continuous Suction Regulator is designed for applications requiring reliable and stable continuous aspiration in clinical settings.It is specifically engineered to support essential patient care procedures, including:
- Routine patient airway maintenance
- Oropharyngeal suctioning
- Endotracheal suctioning
The device is ideal for use in hospitals, clinics, or emergency response environments. Its regulated vacuum range (0 - 300 mm Hg) and integrated safety relief valve ensure controlled and safe operation.
Does it include a safety relief valve?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare Vacutron Continuous Suction Regulator includes an integrated safety relief valve designed to enhance patient safety and operational stability.
This crucial feature is set to activate at 320 mm Hg (millimeter of mercury). The valve serves two primary functions:
- Prevents Suction Failure: It ensures the system maintains stable and consistent vacuum delivery.
- Protects the Patient: By preventing the vacuum level from exceeding 320 mm Hg, it protects the patient from excessive suction.
Does this regulator include a warranty?
The Allied Healthcare Vacutron Continuous Suction Regulator is backed by a 10-year warranty, ensuring long-lasting reliability and peace of mind.
Does it support many connection types?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare Vacutron Continuous Suction Regulator is designed for extensive compatibility to fit diverse clinical environments. Please ensure you select the correct configuration for your specific wall supply system upon ordering.
- Versatile Configurations: It is offered in over 20 US configurations and two International models to ensure compatibility with most medical gas outlet standards.
- Inlet Options: The device supports multiple wall supply fittings, including 1/8” NPT Female, Serrated Hose Stem, and specialized Quick-Connect systems from manufacturers like Chemetron, Ohmeda Diamond, Puritan Bennett, and Oxequip Med*Star.
- Patient Outlets: Features various patient connection options, such as DISS Male, Metal Barbed Stem, or a Bacteria Filter outlet.
Is this suction regulator versatile for all patients?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare Vacutron Continuous Suction Regulator is suitable for continuous suction applications for patients of all ages. This versatility makes it an indispensable tool for diverse clinical settings and procedures, including general airway, oropharyngeal, and endotracheal suctioning.
Does the regulator protect against excessive vacuum?
Yes, patient safety is a core feature of the Allied Healthcare Vacutron regulator.
It is equipped with a critical integrated safety relief valve designed to prevent over-suctioning and protect the patient from excessive vacuum.
Key details about the safety feature:
- Activation Point: The valve is specifically calibrated to activate at 320 mm Hg.
- Function: It maintains suction stability and prevents inaccurate pressure readings, ensuring reliable and safe continuous operation.
- Regulated Range: The device’s normal regulated vacuum range is 0 to 300 mm Hg.
Is the vacuum control precise and stable?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare Vacutron regulator is engineered to provide reliable, precise, and stable continuous suction for critical patient care procedures, such as airway maintenance and endotracheal suctioning.
Reliability and precision are ensured by several key features:
- Regulated Vacuum Range: The device offers fine control across a range of 0 to 300 mm Hg.
- Precision Monitoring: The high-visibility, dual-scale gauge displays pressure in accurate increments: 5 mm Hg increments (up to 300 mm Hg) and 2 kPa increments (up to 40 kPa).
- Integrated Safety: For patient safety and stability, a critical safety relief valve is built-in and calibrated to activate at 320 mm Hg, preventing over-suction and ensuring stable operation.
Is the regulator compact and lightweight?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare Vacutron Continuous Suction Regulator is designed to be compact and manageable for easy handling and placement in clinical environments.Its physical specifications are:
- Dimensions (H x W x D): 6.8” x 2.65” x 4.07” (17.27 cm x 6.73 cm x 10.34 cm)
- Weight: 1.3 lb (0.59 kg)
Can I purchase additional accessories for this regulator?
While the Allied Healthcare Vacutron Continuous Suction Regulator is a standalone medical device, it is designed to be compatible with several essential accessories that help support clinical suction procedures. These items are available for purchase separately to customize your setup for specific patient care needs:
- Disposable Collection Canisters
- Collection Canister Carrier
- Canister Holder
- Specimen Bag
- Critical Measurement Insert
These components are frequently purchased alongside the regulator to facilitate effective airway, oropharyngeal, and endotracheal suctioning in hospital and emergency care environments.
What operating modes does this regulator offer?
The Vacutron Continuous Suction Regulator features two essential operating modes, easily selected via a top-mounted control knob:
- OFF Mode: Completely deactivates the suction flow.
- Regulated Mode: Provides precise and stable continuous suction for clinical procedures. This mode allows controlled vacuum delivery across a range of 0 to 300 mm Hg, making it ideal for routine patient airway maintenance, oropharyngeal, and endotracheal suctioning.
