Frequently asked questions
What aspirator models seamlessly integrate with this valve?
The Medela Change-Over Valve with Clampholder and Tubing Set is designed for seamless integration with both the Medela Dominant Flex Aspirator and the Dominant 50 Surgical Aspirator, ensuring reliable performance for suctioning large volumes of fluid.
What components are in this set?
This complete, factory-new set is designed for efficient, high-volume fluid management, allowing you to manually switch between two collection canisters without interrupting aspiration.
The set includes all three essential components necessary for operation:
- Change-Over Valve (Part #: 0770561): The core mechanism for diverting suction flow.
- Plastic Clampholder (Part #: 0770521): Used for securely mounting the valve.
- Silicone Tubing Set (Part #: 0770921): Specialized tubing measuring 7 x 12 mm in diameter and approximately 11.8 inches (300 mm) long, supplied complete with two coupling pieces.
All components are constructed from durable materials (PSU, PA) and are guaranteed to be latex-free for safe clinical use.
Is this tubing set latex-free?
Yes, the Medela Change-Over Valve with Clampholder and Tubing Set is made from latex-free materials (plastic PSU, PA, and silicone), ensuring safety for users with latex allergies.
Does this enable seamless continuous suction?
Yes, the Medela Change-Over Valve is specifically designed to facilitate uninterrupted fluid management during high-volume aspiration procedures.Its core function is to allow a user to manually switch the vacuum source between two separate collection receptacles (liners or canisters). When the first container is full, you can quickly divert the flow to the second container without having to stop the aspirator, ensuring continuous suctioning.
Key features of this accessory set include:
- Fluid Management Efficiency: Enables continuous operation for large fluid volumes.
- High Compatibility: Designed for use with Medela systems, including the Dominant Flex Aspirator and the Dominant 50 Surgical Aspirator.
- Complete Set: Includes the Change-Over Valve, Plastic Clampholder, and specialized Silicone Tubing (7 x 12 mm diameter, 11.8 inches long) with coupling pieces.
- Safety & Quality: The product is guaranteed Latex-free and manufactured in Switzerland.
Is this valve set suitable for high-volume aspiration?
Yes, this Medela set is specifically engineered for high-volume fluid suction in professional clinical settings, including surgical procedures. Its design ensures workflow continuity when managing large fluid volumes.
Key features confirming its suitability include:
- Manual Switching Capability: The set allows you to manually and immediately switch between two separate collection vessels (liners or canisters) without interrupting the aspiration procedure.
- Aspirator Compatibility: It is designed for seamless integration with high-performance Medela aspiration systems, including the Dominant Flex Aspirator and the Dominant 50 Surgical Aspirator.
- Material Safety: The components are constructed from durable, latex-free plastic (PSU, PA) and silicone.
Does the change-over valve allow quick switching?
Yes, the Medela Change-Over Valve is specifically designed to streamline fluid management during procedures involving large volumes.
Its key benefit is the Manual Change-Over Capability, which allows the user to quickly and manually switch the suction pathway between two fluid collection points (liners or canisters). This functionality ensures you can maintain continuous suction operation even when one collection reservoir becomes full.
Does the valve ensure continuous suction during use?
Yes, the Medela Change-Over Valve is specifically designed to enable continuous suction during high-volume aspiration procedures by allowing you to manually switch between two collection containers.
Key features and benefits:
- Uninterrupted Aspiration: The valve allows the operator to instantly divert the vacuum flow from a full collection system (liner or canister) to a second, empty one, ensuring the procedure is not interrupted.
- High-Volume Capability: It is engineered specifically for procedures requiring the management of large volumes of fluid.
- Complete System: The factory-new set includes the Change-Over Valve, a Plastic Clampholder, and latex-free Silicone Tubing (11.8 inches long).
- Compatibility: This accessory is commonly used with Medela suction units, including the Dominant Flex Aspirator and the Dominant 50 Surgical Aspirator.
Does this valve allow continuous suction?
Yes, the Medela Change-Over Valve is specifically designed to facilitate continuous workflow during high-volume fluid aspiration procedures.
Its key benefit is the ability for staff to manually switch the suction flow from one collection vessel (canister or liner) to another immediately, preventing interruptions in the ongoing aspiration process.
Key features and details:
- Intended Use: Managing the suctioning of large volumes of fluid.
- Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with the Dominant Flex Aspirator and the Dominant 50 Surgical Aspirator.
- Components: The set is complete, including the Change-Over Valve, a Plastic Clampholder, and Silicone Tubing (11.8 inches long, 7 x 12 mm diameter) with two coupling pieces.
- Material: Constructed from durable, latex-free plastics (PSU, PA) and silicone.
Are durable materials used in the valve and clampholder?
The Medela Change-Over Valve with Clampholder and Tubing Set is constructed from durable and latex-free materials, including plastic (PSU, PA) and silicone. These materials are selected for their suitability in medical applications, ensuring both reliability and safety.
How does the valve ensure continuous suctioning?
The Medela Change-Over Valve is engineered to facilitate continuous, high-volume fluid management by providing an immediate, manual switching mechanism between two fluid collection systems.
Here is how it ensures uninterrupted aspiration:
- Manual Redirection: When the first fluid collection vessel (liner or canister) reaches capacity, the user manually operates the valve to instantly redirect the suction flow to the second, empty vessel.
- Continuous Operation: This quick change-over capability ensures that the surgical aspiration procedure remains uninterrupted, maximizing efficiency during critical procedures.
This accessory set is specifically designed for seamless integration with the Medela Dominant Flex Aspirator and the Dominant 50 Surgical Aspirator.
