Frequently asked questions
Is this suction regulator suitable for neonatal patients?
The Allied Healthcare Vacutron Low Vacuum Suction Regulator is specifically designed for neonatal patients, ensuring gentle and controlled suction. It is ideal for procedures such as airway maintenance, oropharyngeal, and endotracheal suctioning.
Is this regulator safe for neonatal suctioning?
Yes, the Vacutron Low Vacuum Suction Regulator is specifically engineered for sensitive applications like neonatal and pediatric patient care. Its design prioritizes safety and comfort by offering precise, controlled low vacuum.
Key features that ensure safe operation include:
- Regulated Low Vacuum Range: Provides precise control between 0 and 90 mm Hg, suitable for delicate airway management procedures.
- Integrated Over-Vacuum Protection: Features an internal safety relief valve that automatically prevents the suction from exceeding 100 mm Hg, mitigating risks associated with accidental over-suctioning or device malfunction.
This regulator is ideal for critical airway clearance procedures such as airway maintenance, oropharyngeal suctioning, and endotracheal suctioning.
What is included with the Vacutron regulator?
The purchase includes the Allied Healthcare Vacutron Low Vacuum Suction Regulator unit itself, which is delivered factory new. This highly specialized device is optimized for neonatal and pediatric care.
The regulator comes as a complete unit with the following key integrated components:
- Integrated Vacuum Gauge: Features a clear, dual-scale display providing readings in both mm Hg (0–100 scale) and kPa (0–13 scale).
- Internal Safety Relief Valve: This essential safety mechanism automatically limits the maximum vacuum pressure to 100 mm Hg, protecting vulnerable patients from over-suctioning.
- Control Interface: Allows selection between the OFF and Regulated operating modes, with the adjustable working range set from 0 to 90 mm Hg.
Please Note: Accessories required for operation, such as disposable collection canisters, canister holders, and specimen bags, are typically purchased separately and are not included with the regulator unit.
What is the purpose of the internal safety relief valve?
The internal safety relief valve on the Allied Healthcare Vacutron Low Vacuum Suction Regulator is a crucial safety feature. It prevents vacuum suction from exceeding 100 mm Hg, ensuring optimal patient safety, particularly for delicate neonatal patients.
What operating modes are available?
The Allied Healthcare Vacutron Low Vacuum Suction Regulator offers two distinct operating modes, controlled by the selector switch:
- OFF: Deactivates the regulator, halting all suction flow.
- Regulated: Allows for precise adjustment of the low vacuum level, ranging from 0 to 90 mm Hg, which is ideal for sensitive applications like neonatal care.
How long is the product warranty?
The Allied Healthcare Vacutron Low Vacuum Suction Regulator is supported by a substantial 10-year warranty. This long-term assurance speaks to the reliability and durability of the device.
What is the regulated vacuum range?
The Vacutron Low Vacuum Suction Regulator provides a regulated vacuum range of 0 to 90 mm Hg, making it ideal for delicate procedures like neonatal suctioning.
What are the dimensions and weight of the Vacutron Low Vacuum Suction Regulator?
The Vacutron Low Vacuum Suction Regulator has dimensions of 6.8” (H) x 2.65” (W) x 4.07” (D) (17.3 cm x 6.7 cm x 10.4 cm) and weighs 1.3 lb (0.59 kg).
What are the connection configurations available?
The Vacutron Low Vacuum Suction Regulator is offered in specialized configurations to suit different wall vacuum supplies and patient tubing connections. All configurations utilize a 1/8” NPT Female inlet for the centralized vacuum source.
Key configurations available include:
United States Configurations:
- #22-19-0100: Patient Outlet is DISS Male.
- #22-19-0200: Patient Outlet is a Metal Barbed Stem.
International Configuration:
- #22-29-0050: Patient Outlet is 1/8” NPT Female (same as the inlet).
How does it protect sensitive patients?
The Allied Healthcare Vacutron Low Vacuum Suction Regulator is specifically engineered for sensitive patient populations, such as neonates and pediatric patients, focusing on controlled, safe suction levels.
Patient protection is achieved through two primary features:
- Integrated Over-Vacuum Protection: A critical internal safety relief valve is calibrated to automatically limit the maximum suction pressure to 100 mm Hg. This prevents accidental over-suctioning, safeguarding fragile airways.
- Precise Low Vacuum Regulation: The device operates within a controlled regulated range of 0 to 90 mm Hg, which is ideal for delicate procedures like airway maintenance and endotracheal suctioning.
