Frequently asked questions
How does the positive shut-off mechanism work?
The Gomco Metal Cap & Float Assembly features a positive shut-off mechanism that is crucial for maintaining the safety and efficiency of your suction system by preventing fluid from overflowing into the vacuum pump. This essential safety feature works by utilizing a float assembly:
- Fluid Level Rises: As aspiration fluid fills the collection bottle, the internal float component rises with the liquid level.
- Suction Interruption: When the fluid reaches the preset capacity, the float engages the cap assembly, which immediately and automatically interrupts the vacuum suction.
- Pump Protection: This positive shut-off ensures fluid cannot enter the pump, safeguarding the pump’s sensitive internal components from contamination and damage.
The precise shut-off volume is dependent on the configuration you choose:
- For the 2800 ml (1 gallon) configuration, shut-off occurs approximately at 2600 ml.
- For the 1200 ml (1/2 gallon) configuration, shut-off occurs approximately at 850 ml.
Does this assembly help prevent kinking of suction tubing?
Yes, the Gomco Metal Cap & Float Assembly is designed with a hospital patient port that helps prevent kinking of the suction tubing, ensuring consistent suction performance during medical procedures.
Which bottle capacities fit this high-quality assembly?
The Gomco Metal Cap & Float Assembly is specifically configured to fit and operate with two standard collection bottle capacities, ensuring optimal performance for your Gomco suction system:
- 1200 ml (approximately 1/2 gallon)
- 2800 ml (approximately 1 gallon)
The assembly is compatible with both glass and polycarbonate collection bottles that match the specified capacity. Regardless of the size chosen, the unit provides a critical positive shut-off mechanism that automatically interrupts suction when the reservoir is full, safeguarding the connected suction pump from fluid overflow and contamination.
What are the precise cap and float dimensions?
The Gomco Metal Cap & Float Assembly is precisely sized for optimal fit and positive shut-off function.
- Cap Outer Diameter: 2.93 inches
- Float Outer Diameter: 1.75 inches
Where is this assembly typically used?
The Gomco Metal Cap & Float Assembly is ideal for use in hospitals and medical facilities with Gomco suction pumps and collection bottles.
How does the assembly prevent pump overflow?
The Gomco Metal Cap & Float Assembly utilizes a crucial safety feature known as a positive shut-off mechanism to prevent fluid carryover (overflow) into the suction pump unit.
- Float Assembly: As the collection bottle fills, an internal float rises. When the fluid approaches the maximum calibrated volume (e.g., approximately 2600 ml for the 2800 ml bottle), the float automatically interrupts the suction flow, securing the pump mechanism from aspirate.
- Kink Prevention: The assembly also includes a specialized hospital patient port designed to minimize suction tubing kinking, which helps maintain consistent and reliable vacuum flow throughout the procedure.
This system ensures reliable fluid management when paired with compatible 1200 ml or 2800 ml Gomco collection bottles.
Where is this product manufactured?
The Gomco Metal Cap & Float Assembly is proudly made in the USA, ensuring high-quality manufacturing standards.
Is the Gomco Metal Cap & Float Assembly durable?
Yes, the Gomco Metal Cap & Float Assembly is built for reliability and designed to protect your suction equipment.
- Durable Construction: The assembly features a robust metal cap with a polished, chrome-like finish, ensuring durability for rigorous clinical use.
- Equipment Protection: Its primary function is safety. The positive shut-off mechanism uses a float assembly to immediately interrupt suction when the collected fluid reaches capacity. This critical feature prevents dangerous fluid carryover and subsequent damage to the pump system.
- Additional Safety Feature: The hospital patient port is specifically designed to help prevent the suction tubing from kinking, maintaining optimal flow and preventing operational issues.
- Condition: The product is supplied in Factory New condition and includes a 90-day Parts and Labor warranty.
What equipment is this assembly designed for?
This cap and float assembly is designed for use with Gomco suction equipment.
Does the float assembly reliably stop fluid carryover?
Yes, the Gomco Metal Cap & Float Assembly is engineered with a positive shut-off mechanism specifically designed for reliable prevention of fluid carryover into your suction pump. This mechanism utilizes a float assembly that automatically interrupts the vacuum flow when the collection bottle reaches capacity, safeguarding the pump from contamination.
The assembly is available in two configurations, tailored for specific collection bottle sizes and shut-off volumes:
| Bottle Capacity | Approximate Shut-Off Volume |
|---|---|
| 2800 ml (1 gallon) | 2600 ml |
| 1200 ml (1/2 gallon) | 850 ml |
Additionally, the assembly includes a hospital patient port that is designed to help prevent kinking of the suction tubing.
