Frequently asked questions
Are essential disposable supplies included?
Yes, the Gomco Model 6000 includes all essential components required for immediate and hygienic operation:
- Disposable suction tubing
- Three Disposable Hydrophobic/Bacteria Filters (Model #01-90-3100)
- Collection Vessel: Depending on the configuration chosen, you will receive either a 2800 ml reusable polycarbonate bottle or a 2100 ml disposable collection canister.
These inclusions prioritize infection control. The hydrophobic/bacteria filters are vital for safety, as they actively prevent fluid and aerosol contamination from entering the internal pump mechanism.
Does the Gomco Model 6000 have any regulatory approvals?
Yes, the Gomco Model 6000 Gastric Drainage Aspirator meets essential safety and compliance standards for medical devices. It is:
- UL/ETL Listed
- Approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
- Approved by HC (Health Canada, regulatory body)
Which specialized drainage procedures does it handle?
This aspirator is specifically engineered for specialized clinical drainage procedures requiring gentle, consistent suction, enabled by its thermotic pump system.
The Gomco Model 6000 is suitable for applications such as:
- Gastric Lavage
- Abdominal Decompression
- Duodenal and Fistula Drainage
- Post-prostatectomy Drainage
What assures gentle and reliable suction?
The gentle and reliable suction of the Gomco Model 6000 is ensured by its proprietary thermotic pump technology and its precise, fixed vacuum levels, which are specifically engineered for sensitive clinical procedures.
Key Features for Gentle Suction:
- Silent Thermotic Pump: This exclusive pump design operates without moving parts, creating suction through the cyclic expansion and contraction of air. This delivers a smooth, consistent, and mild vacuum flow, resulting in exceptionally quiet operation (less than 47 dBA).
- Precise Dual Settings: The aspirator uses solid-state controls to lock into two gentle, pre-set drainage levels, assuring mild and controlled suction for critical applications:
- Level 1: -90 mm Hg (Flow Rate: 0.25 lpm)
- Level 2: -120 mm Hg (Flow Rate: 0.3 lpm)
What collection container options are available?
The Gomco Model 6000 offers two distinct collection container options, allowing users to select the best solution for their clinical workflow:
- Reusable Option: A high-capacity 2800 ml Reusable Polycarbonate Bottle is available, designed for repeated sterilization and use.
- Disposable Option: A 2100 ml Disposable Collection Canister is offered for simplified cleanup and quick disposal protocols.
Regardless of the configuration chosen, the aspirator includes essential disposable components: suction tubing and three Disposable Hydrophobic/Bacteria Filters to protect the pump mechanism from contamination.
Is the Model 6000 easily portable?
Yes, the Gomco Model 6000 is built as a mobile unit specifically for easy transport within hospitals and clinics. It features a convenient stand designed for maneuverability.
Key mobility and convenience features include:
- 3-inch Non-Marking Casters: The stand is equipped with non-marking casters for smooth, safe rolling across various floor surfaces.
- Compact Design: The unit’s structure is compact, facilitating easy maneuvering and storage.
- Integrated Cord Storage: The stand includes convenient storage for the 6-foot hospital-grade electrical cord, keeping it safely tucked away during transport.
What are the specialized suction settings?
The Gomco Model 6000 utilizes a quiet, low-maintenance thermotic pump design to deliver two fixed, gentle suction levels, which are ideal for specialized clinical applications such as gastric lavage and abdominal decompression.
It offers two pre-set drainage specifications:
- Lower Setting: -90 mm Hg (Flow Rate: 0.25 lpm)
- Higher Setting: -120 mm Hg (Flow Rate: 0.3 lpm)
Is the thermotic pump truly quiet?
Yes, the Gomco Model 6000 is engineered for extremely quiet performance, making it ideal for patient care areas.
- Low Noise Level: The unit operates at a sound level of less than 47 dBA.
- Thermotic Design: This silent operation is a result of the exclusive Gomco thermotic pump design. Since it uses the controlled expansion and contraction of air rather than moving mechanical parts, it eliminates internal friction and noise, while also ensuring maintenance-free use.
What are the compact dimensions and weight?
The Gomco Model 6000 is designed to be highly mobile and compact for easy transport in clinical settings. The key physical specifications are:
- Dimensions (H x W x D): 33” x 18” x 17” (84 cm x 46 cm x 43 cm)
- Weight: 43 lb (20 kg)
For enhanced maneuverability, the unit features a stand equipped with 3-inch non-marking casters.
Is the top surface chemical-resistant?
Yes, the Gomco Model 6000 features a chemical-resistant flat stainless steel top surface. This design choice ensures:
- Easy maintenance: Spills can be wiped clean without damaging the surface.
- Longevity: The material holds up well in demanding clinical environments.
- Durability: It is built to withstand repeated use and exposure to various cleaning agents.
