Allied Healthcare Vacutron Pediatric Continuous Suction Regulator

Yes, the Allied Healthcare Vacutron Pediatric Continuous Suction Regulator is engineered specifically to ensure maximum patient safety during sensitive pediatric procedures.

It utilizes two main safety features to prevent accidental over-suctioning:

• Pediatric-Optimized Range: The regulated vacuum operating range is intentionally limited to 0 – 130 mm Hg, which is tailored to be the maximum tolerable level for pediatric patients.
• Integrated Safety Relief Valve: An internal safety relief valve is built into the device, strictly restricting the suction rate to below 140 mm Hg to prevent pressure from exceeding this critical limit.

Yes, the integrated safety relief valve is a critical feature engineered to prevent accidental over-suctioning, which is vital for pediatric patients.

• Activation Point: The valve is calibrated to restrict the suction rate at 140 mm Hg.
• Benefit: This strict upper limit ensures the vacuum pressure never exceeds the clinically determined maximum, providing an essential layer of patient safety beyond the standard regulated range (0 - 130 mm Hg).

The Vacutron Pediatric Suction Regulator is engineered for precise, continuous suctioning, prioritizing pediatric safety.

The regulated vacuum specifications are:

• Regulated Range: The device offers a regulated vacuum output from 0 to 130 mm Hg, optimized for sensitive pediatric anatomy.
• Safety Assurance: A key feature is the integrated internal safety relief valve, which strictly restricts the maximum suction pressure to below 140 mm Hg (set at 1 unit), preventing accidental over-suctioning.

For accurate monitoring, the device includes a clear, dual-scale vacuum gauge, displaying pressure in:

• Millimeters of Mercury (mm Hg): 0 to 150 mm Hg (in 5 mm Hg increments)
• Kilopascals (kPa): 0 to 20 kPa (in 1 kPa increments)

Yes, the Allied Healthcare Vacutron Continuous Suction Regulator is specifically engineered for safe, continuous suction applications involving pediatric patients.

Its design incorporates essential safety features tailored for children:

• Pediatric Regulated Range: The device maintains a precise regulated vacuum range of 0 - 130 mm Hg, which is the maximum tolerable level for pediatric use.
• Integrated Safety Relief: A critical internal safety relief valve strictly restricts the maximum suction pressure to below 140 mm Hg, preventing accidental over-suctioning regardless of upstream conditions.

This regulator is suitable for critical procedures such as airway maintenance and endotracheal suctioning.

The Allied Healthcare Vacutron Pediatric Continuous Suction Regulator, specifically the 22-18-0200 configuration, weighs 1.3 pounds.

The Allied Healthcare Vacutron Pediatric Continuous Suction Regulator comes with a 10-year warranty.

The regulator is designed to integrate seamlessly into clinical environments using standardized medical fittings. The primary configuration features the following specific connections:

• Inlet (Connects to Vacuum/Wall System): 1/8” NPT Female
• Outlet (Connects to Patient Tubing): Metal Barbed Stem

These durable fittings ensure a secure interface for critical airway maintenance and suctioning procedures.

The Allied Healthcare Vacutron Pediatric Continuous Suction Regulator is designed for clinical environments requiring precise, low-range negative pressure control tailored specifically for sensitive pediatric patients.

It is ideally used in specialized medical settings, including:

• Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU)
• Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU)
• Operating Rooms

The device provides controlled continuous suction necessary for critical pediatric procedures such as:

• Airway maintenance
• Oropharyngeal suctioning
• Endotracheal suctioning

For enhanced patient safety, the regulator is engineered with an internal safety relief valve that strictly limits maximum suction to 140 mm Hg, preventing potentially harmful over-suctioning.

The Allied Healthcare Vacutron Pediatric Continuous Suction Regulator (configuration #22-18-0200) is equipped with the following connection fittings for safe and secure operation:

• Inlet to Wall Fitting (Vacuum Source): 1/8” NPT Female
• Outlet to Patient Fitting (Suction Tubing): Metal Barbed Stem

This standard configuration ensures reliable connection to centralized vacuum systems and patient lines.

The purchase includes the Factory New Allied Healthcare Vacutron Pediatric Continuous Suction Regulator unit itself.

This regulator is also backed by an extensive 10-year manufacturer’s warranty, highlighting its expected longevity and quality.
