Definitions
Never use any petroleum based lubricants in an Oxygen environment, as these materials are highly combustible in the presence of Oxygen. The only Oxygen service lubricants recommended for this equipment are Sentinel OPG (6700-0067-200) or Vac Kote® 37951M (0220-0091-300).
Do not use this device in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Explosion hazard may result. This manual covers the operation of the venturi/ejector suction module only. Follow vacuum regulator pre-use checkout and patient set up procedures also.
CAUTIONS
The Venturi backpack is capable of producing high levels of vacuum. Unregulated vacuum can cause injury to patients. Only use this device with an approved medical vacuum regulator. Only trained individuals should attempt to service this device.
Complete repair information is provided in the service manual.

Equipment Set up If the venturi/ejector suction module is purchased separately, apply a small amount of Lox-8® paste or Teflon® (PTFE) pipe sealant tape to NPT threads of the adapter on the back of the unit. Tighten adapter securely to the vacuum regulator (minimum torque of 5.4 Nm). Ensure that the unit is vertical. WARNINGS
CAUTION

Connect supply gas adapter to a 45 to 80 PSI (310 to 552 kPa) medical air or oxygen supply source only to prevent patient or operator injury and equipment damage. To prevent patient injury, do not block the positive pressure relief. To prevent fluid from entering the regulator and venturi/ejector suction module, use an Ohio Medical overflow safety trap and high flow bacterial suction filter. Flooding may impair operation.

Pre-Use Checkout Procedure WARNING Perform the Pre-use Checkout Procedure before using on each patient. If there is any failure, remove from service and repair. 1. Check that the positive pressure relief valve flips open easily. You may wish to use a flat head screwdriver, wooden toothpick or silimar tool to access the relief valve flap, as long as the tool is not sharp enough to damage the flap. 2. Push the venturi ON/OFF knob to O (OFF). 3. Turn vacuum regulator to I (ON). Rotate the suction control knob one full turn clockwise (increasing). Clamp the tubing to occlude the fitting port. The gauge needle should not move. 4. Turn the vacuum regulator to O (OFF) Pull the venturi ON/OFF knob to I (ON) Follow the pre-use checkout procedure given in the instructions for the vacuum regulator. 6700-0382-000 (Rev.4)

Cleaning / Troubleshooting Cleaning Wipe all exterior surfaces with a solution of water and mild detergent after each use. If contamination occurs, clean according to service manual recommendations. Important: Always follow your hospital’s policy for oxygen compatible cleaning; some cleaners are highly combustible in the presence of oxygen WARNINGS
CAUTION
Handle contaminated product in accordance with your hospital’s infection control policy. Disinfect all suction equipment before shipment to prevent exposure to hazardous contamination. If you must sterilize, please use only ethylene oxide. Following sterilization with ethylene oxide, quarantine parts in a wellventilated area to allow dissipation of ethylene oxide gas. Follow your hospital sterilization procedure. Do not steam autoclave or liquid sterilize the venturi/ejector suction module. Severe impairment to the operation of the venturi/ejector suction module will result. The only acceptable method of sterilization is with gas (ethylene oxide).
Troubleshooting If the regulator and venturi/ejector suction module do not operate, use the following: Problem No suction
Reduced pressure or flow
Possible Cause Venturi is in the O (OFF) position
Remedy Switch to I (ON)
Vacuum regulator is OFF
Turn vacuum regulator on
Venturi muffler is dirty or clogged
Replace muffler
Bacterial filter clogged
Replace bacterial filter
Important: Refer to the service manual for additional information.
