3 Description Introduction The Dominant Flex is a high-quality suction pump. It is powered by a piston/cylinder system and provides maximum suction performance for many suctioning needs. The Dominant Flex's option of three selectable flow rates gives flexibility depending on surgeon preference. It ideally combines easy handling and cleaning with safety features to ensure optimal operation. You can choose from a comprehensive range of accessories from Medela to configure the pump to many medical applications. The device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the device should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used. Intended use / indications Intended Use of the Dominant Flex suction pump is the creation of a constant vacuum in the range of 0 to -95 kPa. This vacuum can be used for all applications in the hospital, clinic and doctors practice which require a vacuum in this setting such as: general surgery, liposuction, endoscopy, epicardial ablation, nasopharyngeal suction, neurosurgery, OPCAB, vacuum assisted cesarian/delivery and wound drainage. Intended user The Dominant Flex should only be operated by properly trained staff. These persons must not be hard of hearing or deaf and must have adequate visual faculty. The training should be refreshed at least once a year. Intended patient population The Dominant Flex is intended to be used on patients only exhibiting conditions as described in the indications for use. Important note Compliance with proper surgical procedures and techniques is the responsibility of the physician. Each physician must evaluate the appropriateness of the treatment based on his own knowledge and experience.

4 Overview Definition of vacuum By the application of medical aspiration devices, vacuum is normally given as the difference (in absolute figures) between absolute pressure and atmospheric pressure or as negative values in Kilopascal (kPa). In this document, the indication of -10 kPa for example always refers to a pressure range in kPa below atmospheric ambient pressure (according to EN ISO 10079:1999).
