Gomco Polycarbonate Collection Bottle - 1200 ml

Yes, the Gomco collection bottle is constructed from clear, durable polycarbonate.

This material offers significant clinical advantages:

• Visual Inspection: The clarity allows medical staff to perform immediate visual inspection of the fluid’s level, color, and consistency during aspiration.
• Durability and Hygiene: The bottle is designed for extended use, as it is completely reusable and safely steam sterilizable (autoclavable) to ensure hygiene compliance.
• Capacity: It has a substantial capacity of 1200 ml (half-gallon).

The Gomco Polycarbonate Collection Bottle has a generous maximum physical capacity of 1200 ml (a half-gallon). The clear polycarbonate material is calibrated from 200 ml up to 1200 ml for visual estimation of collected fluid volume.

Note that the safe operational capacity varies by configuration:

• Standard Bottle Only: The usable volume extends up to the “DO NOT FILL ABOVE THIS LINE” marking, close to the full 1200 ml capacity.
• With Metal Cap and Float Assembly: This safety configuration features a positive shut-off mechanism. The float assembly automatically stops suction when the fluid level reaches approximately 850 ml to prevent overfilling and fluid carryover into the suction pump.

Yes, this Gomco collection bottle is fully reusable. It is constructed from durable polycarbonate material and specifically designed to be steam sterilizable (autoclavable), allowing for high-temperature cleaning and promoting excellent hygiene for repeated use in clinical settings.

Yes, this collection bottle is designed for optimal hygiene and repeated use. It is fully steam sterilizable (autoclavable). The durable polycarbonate material ensures it can withstand high temperatures for effective sterilization, making it a reliable, reusable component.

Yes, the Gomco Polycarbonate Collection Bottle is designed for maximum versatility and seamless integration into clinical environments. It is compatible with a wide range of medical equipment:

• Standard Piping Systems: The bottle is engineered to adapt to all standard hospital piping systems.
• Aspirator Units: It works with various Allied Healthcare/Gomco aspiration units, including the Model G180 OptiVac Portable Aspirator.

Yes, the Gomco Polycarbonate Collection Bottle includes clearly visible, calibrated volume markings.

The use of clear polycarbonate material is a primary feature, allowing medical personnel to visually inspect the fluid’s level, color, and consistency immediately during aspiration procedures.

Specific details regarding the calibration include:

• Capacity: The total bottle capacity is 1200 ml (a half-gallon).
• Calibration Range: Markings are visible from 200 ml up to 1200 ml.
• Safety Note: A specific “DO NOT FILL ABOVE THIS LINE” marker is included.
• Important Usage Note: These calibrations are strictly designated “FOR ESTIMATING PURPOSES ONLY”.

Yes, the Gomco Polycarbonate Collection Bottle is available in an enhanced configuration that includes a durable metal cap and float assembly.

This configuration provides crucial mechanisms for safety and fluid control:

• Positive Shut-Off: The integrated float assembly automatically interrupts suction at approximately 850 ml. This prevents overfilling and eliminates fluid carryover into the suction pump, protecting the equipment.
• Anti-Kinking Port: The metal cap includes a specialized hospital patient port designed to prevent kinking of the suction tubing.

The standard configuration is also available, which includes the 1200 ml collection bottle only.

The optional configuration, which includes the Metal Cap and Float Assembly, provides a vital safety feature to protect your connected pump from fluid contamination.

This assembly offers dual protection:

• Positive Shut-Off: The integrated float mechanism automatically interrupts suction when the collected fluid volume reaches approximately 850 ml. This prevents collected fluids from carrying over into the pump.
• Optimized Tubing: The durable metal cap includes a dedicated hospital patient port designed to help prevent the kinking of suction tubing, ensuring consistent and reliable vacuum performance.

Yes, the Gomco Polycarbonate Collection Bottle is designed for broad compatibility in professional clinical settings.

It is engineered for seamless integration:

• Standard Piping Systems: The bottle adapts to all standard hospital piping systems.
• Aspiration Units: It is designed for use with various Allied Healthcare/Gomco units, including the Model G180 OptiVac Portable Aspirator.

The 1200 ml Gomco Collection Bottle is made from clear polycarbonate material specifically to enhance patient safety and clinical efficiency. This transparency is a key selling point, allowing medical personnel to perform immediate and critical visual inspections of the collected fluids without needing to interrupt suction or open the unit. This includes monitoring: * Fluid Level: The bottle is clearly calibrated from 200 ml up to 1200 ml for easy volume estimation. (Note: These calibrations are intended for estimating purposes only.) * Fluid Color and Consistency: Provides essential visual feedback on the nature of the aspirated material. Additionally, the polycarbonate is durable, reusable, and steam sterilizable (autoclavable).
