Pre-Use Checkout Procedure; Patient Setup - Ohio Medical PTS-ISU Gebrauchsanweisung

Pre-Use Checkout Procedure

WARNING The Pre-Use Checkout Procedure must be performed before using the equipment on
each patient. If the regulator fails any part of the Pre-Use Checkout Procedure, it must
be removed from service and repaired by qualified service personnel.
Important: All tests must be performed with supply vacuum of 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg) minimum.
Note: Pediatric/Neonatal ISU Only: Rotate suction control knob fully clockwise (increase) to verify that
the suction level does not exceed 135 mmHg ± 5 mmHg (18.0 kPa ± 0.7 kPa) on the pediatric model
or 100 mmHg ± 5 mmHg (13.3 kPa ± 0.7 kPa) on the neonatal model. When maximum vacuum is
reached, the safety relief valve will emit an audible pulse.
1. Move the mode selector switch to O (OFF).
2. Push and rotate the suction control knob one full turn clockwise (increase).
3. Release the suction control knob. The gauge needle should not move (reading should remain at zero on
units with a digital gauge).
4. Move the mode selector switch to | (CONT). The gauge should indicate vacuum
5. Push and fully rotate the suction control knob counter-clockwise (decrease) until it stops.
6. Release the suction control knob. The gauge needle should move to zero and remain there. (Readout
should be zero on the digital gauge.)
7. Push suction control knob and increase the suction to 90 mmHg (12.0 kPa)
8. Slowly release and push the suction control knob to create various flow rates through the regulator. Check
that the suction level is maintained when the knob is fully pushed in.
9. Move the mode selector switch to |O|O (INT).
Note: The PTS-ISU starts in the ON cycle.
10. Push the suction control knob and reduce the suction level to zero.
11. Set the mode selector switch to O (OFF).

Patient Setup

1. Make sure the Pre-Use Checkout Procedure has
been performed.
2. Move the mode selector switch to | (CONT)
3. Set the prescribed suction level by pushing and
turning the suction control knob.
CAUTION: The suction control knob must be completely
pushed in to adjust the vacuum level. Failure to do so
may damage the vacuum regulator.
4. Move the mode selector switch to O (OFF).
5. Attach tubing from the vacuum regulator to the
vacuum port of the collection container.
Pre-Use Checkout Procedure
Verify that the regulator works intermittently.
