Definition of Terms and Symbology VACUUM

Air or other gases at a sub atmospheric pressure typically expressed as mmHg or cmH20.

SUCTION

A use of vacuum that causes a fluid or solid to be drawn into an interior space or to adhere to a surface because of the difference between the external and internal pressures. Alerts the user to the presence important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying the device.

WARNING

Alerts user to actions or conditions that could result in injury to user or patient.

CAUTION

Alerts user to actions or conditions that can cause damage to the device or may result in substandard performance of the device or system.

IMPORTANT

Indicates an action that is emphasized to ensure proper operation of equipment.

Safety Information WARNING!

The use of a trap bottle does not preclude the need for an inline canister system. The volume of the trap bottle is only meant to provide overflow protection, it is not meant to be the primary collection canister in the system.

Given the position of the suction trap in a standard collection system it is possible for the gauge on the regulator to show the presence of suction but for suction to not be available at the patient connection. This can happen when the Safety trap has shut off downstream suction due to fluid intrusion. The clinician should verify adequate suction is available at the patient connection prior to initiating any suction therapy. If the RED float in the trap bottle is not visible, this is a sign that material has caused the trap bottle to shut off the suction system.

Verify the trap bottle is clear and free of any foreign matter prior to the initiation of any suction therapy. If any foreign material is visible in the clear suction trap bottle, have the unit serviced before delivery patient care with the unit. Simply replacing or cleaning the trap bottle may not be adequate service to ensure continued operation.

The RED float inside of the trap bottle must be installed for the proper operation of the trap bottle. Failure to replace the RED float will disable the fluid shutoff protection provided by the trap bottle.

CLINICAL USE The 9100 Series Trap Bottles are meant to provide overflow protection to ensure collected materials do not enter the internal components of the suction regulator, or the central suction system.

Operation FEATURES

MODEL 9100 TRAP BOTTLE Shield: Deflects incoming liquids and vapors to prevent entry into the suction system.

Form Fitting Attachment: Only found on the Model 9100, further reduces the amount of space required to mount the Trap Bottle.

Float: Bright colored indicator to show the trap is still open.

Vertical Suction Exit: Allows for a more traditional tubing layout and avoids the possibility of kinking suction tubing when using a trap bottle.

60cc Bottle: Compact size reduces the space needed.

Float Retainer: Prevents the float from being inadvertently disposed of during maintenance.

INSTALLATION The 9100 Integral Trap bottle is factory installed when chosen as an option for the 3800 and 7800 series suction regulators. This can also be field installed by disassembling the unit to allow for access to the threaded screw on the inside of the. Directions for how to disassemble the 9100 trap bottle are found below.

MAINTENANCE Your Boehringer Suction Trap Bottle has been designed to provide years of trouble free operation. Most service activity is the result of aspiration of bodily fluids or other foreign materials into the working mechanism of the regulator. The routine use of an appropriate collection canister greatly reduces needed service. To determine your cleaning/maintenance schedule:

Periodically inspect the overall condition of the bottle of the unit. Any discoloration or material inside of the bottle is an indication material has been pulled into the device.

If fluid has been drawn into the device, causing the shut-off to activate, ensure the unit is properly cleaned before returning it to service.

Based on data from your periodic inspections, determine a cleaning/maintenance schedule appropriate for the operational conditions of your facility. Clean, inspect, lubricate, and test based on your schedule and according to the Instrument Cleaning and Disinfection, Instrument Lubrication and ‘Test’ section outlined below.

TEST 1. 2. 3. 4.

Ensure the Trap bottle is properly attached to the suction regulator. Verify that the trap bottle components have been properly installed. Verify the trap bottle is firmly tightened down to avoid any leaks. Connect a collection canister to the upstream end of the suction regulator. This will capture any fluid that may bypass an inoperative trap bottle during this test.

Regulated Wall Suction

Regulator w/integral trap OR Trap bottle alone.

Collection Canister 5. Connect a standard length of suction tubing to the outlet of the trap bottle. This would typically be 2 meters of 6mm ID tubing. At the end of the suction tubing connect a 14Fr. Catheter. 6. Turn the regulator on to its highest setting. Open and close the downstream suction tubing by alternatively kinking and unkinking the tubing of the catheter. The trap bottle must not shut off suction. The trap would indicate it is shut off by turning off the suction to the downstream tubing, or raising the RED float out of the field of view. 7. Challenge the collection circuit with 50cc of water. This can be done by dunking the 14Fr catheter into a beaker containing the water. 8. The float inside of the trap must shut the circuit off and not allow more than 3cc of water to bypass the mechanism. Once the float shuts the system off, you must not see fluid continue to travel in the suction catheter. 9075.017 Rev C Released October 2010

Cleaning Cleaning & & Disinfection Disinfection Please refer to Boehringer document 7700.192, Boehringer Suction Regulator Recommendations for Decontamination and Autoclaving for guidance. This information is available online at www.boehringerlabs.com, or toll-free at 1-800-642-4945.

DISASSEMBLY Model 9100 Integral Trap Bottle (See Fig. 1) 1. Unscrew the clear bottle (33701) from the unit. Clean this as necessary. 2. Remove flexible shield (33700) by pulling it over the top of the clear float retainer. 3. Wiggle and remove float shield (33698) from the housing. This is retained with a friction fit and it does not need to be unscrewed to remove it. Note: Under normal circumstances it is not necessary to remove the retainer screw (33783) from the unit. For most service needed for both the regulator and the trap bottle this can be maintained in place. The float retention pin (33704) is factor installed and should not be removed.

ASSEMBLY Assembly Models 9100 After disassembling and cleaning the instrument, assemble as follows. Parts are available from Boehringer Laboratories, LLC and may be ordered by part number (P/N). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Ensure the bottle seal o-ring (33702) is not ripped or torn. A tear in this seal will reduce the flow of suction available for clinical procedures. Install this o-ring into the base of the threaded area of the tap manifold (33697 or 33778). Ensure float seal (33705) is clean and free of cuts and tears. An degradation in this sealing surface would increase the possibility foreign matter could enter your suction regulators and central suction system. Place this seal into the base of the float manifold as shown in the cutaway drawings. Place Float (33699) into float retainer (33698) so that the open end of the float faces towards the float retention pin (33704). Place float shield o-ring (33789) over the float shield (33698) so that it rests in the grooved area nearest the large holes in this part. The float shield o-ring (33789) does not function as a seal, but it must be snug enough upon assembly to retain the float in place. Install the float retainer (33698) into the manifold. You may need to wiggle this since there is a pressure fit. The float retainer o-ring (33789) will snap in place when this has been properly positioned. Screw the trap bottle (33701) onto trap manifold (33697 or 33778). Ensure this bottle seals adequately to prevent any loss in suction. Test the reassembled trap bottle as described in the TEST section.

See the Test section, page 7, for exact test procedure.
